Erik Kramer's suicide attempt falls short

Report: Former NFL quarterback Erik Kramer survives apparent suicide attempt

 

[Big Circus]

Eric Kramer's ex-wife is named Marshawn?

 

[LongTimeListener]

Wow. 18-year-old son died of an overdose in 2011. Rough, rough life for him. He's someone you'd picture being pretty even-keeled too.

The Establishment will not like this:

"He's such a good dad and he would not do this to his son," she said. "This is brain injury."

She added: "He is a very amazing man, a beautiful soul, but he has suffered depression since he was with the Bears. I can promise you he is not the same man I married."

You know, **** The Establishment.

Did his wife go into Beast Mode?

You know, **** The Establishment.

Yeah, tough ****. I'm sure that was everyone's first thought. Certainly a valid theory at this point.

I wish the best to Kramer, but this part of the quote is some very low-hanging fruit.

Wow on the thread title

Careful, now. :)

Suicide jokes involving short-armed QBs aren't funny.
Where do we draw the line?

Erik Kramer shot himself.
Scott Mitchell ate his way onto "The Biggest Loser."
Rodney Peete, you're on the clock for some life disaster to befall you.

Holly Robinson Peete, I assure you, will keep ol Rodney up for years to come. Wouldn't worry about him.

Andre Ware and Charlie Batch are looking over their shoulders.

He's had depression issues and a teen son who killed himself too.

When I read the thread title, I thought he had jumped off a building and somehow missed. Maybe bounced off an awning or something. Or jumped off a two story building.

[Baron Scicluna]

That linked to an SI story I saw a couple of weeks ago in which Eric Hipple is helping out Kramer. Hipple also had a child die and survived a suicide attempt.

That certainly added many layers to the story. Thanks for posting it.
