Hard to believe....gotta feel for the family. My heart goes out to them. He was a pretty darn good QB too, his extended family... the football team will surely miss him as well.

first of all, heartfelt condolances to his family...i hate seeing stuff like this....but i need to say

how many people need to be killed while not wearing a seatbelt for people to wake up?? you don't have a very good chance of surviving if you get ejected through your front window like a scud missle going 50 mph. take the time to buckle up and wear a seatbelt. they are in your car for a reason!!!!!!!!!

Good point FF, I was in a high speed accident on the highway & walked away from flipping my car because I wore a seatbelt. Probably saved my life ;)
