Former Eagle Andre Waters Commits Suicide

[PeteyPirate]

Eerie. He and Jerome Brown died in locations about an hour apart in Tampa and Brooksville, Fla. One a suicide and the other a very senseless death.

Is that really eerie? That they died in the same state?

I'll have to go back and look this up, but I seem to remember Waters being one of the players involved in starting a huge, bench-clearing brawl at a training-camp controlled scrimmage the Eagles played against the Falcons in Macon, Ga., in the late '80s. One of the weirdest things I've ever seen. My very fuzzy recollection is that there was a small skirmish in warmups before the scrimmage, and then some perceived cheap shot touched off the major fighting. I clearly remember that the fight stretched from the end zone on one end of the field to the opposite 20-yard line.

I saw him coach in a game two weeks ago. It's sad to hear of his death.
