Oh my God...

I got a text message from a friend a few minutes ago saying "Just heard about Hancock =("... I was assuming that he was out with an injury or something. I was getting ready to tease jim for jinxing him about making that thread.

I can't believe this. I'm about to get sick.

I wonder if he felt a sense of duty to do so after the reports of Lidle's father hearing about his son's death on the news last fall.

Very sad news. Makes me fell like an idiot to be down on how he Cards have been playing. Maybe it is just God showing us how many other things are more important

I have no words.
I feel absolutely terrible.
I don't even know how to get back to normal.
I just feel terrible for his family and teammates.

I can't absorb this still. The players have to be in shock.

Don't. Analyzing the Cards performances and mourning Hancocks untimely death are completely unrelated.

Maybe. And, if enhanced personal perspective is one of the things you take away from this awful situation, then that is a very good thing.
