This is pretty tragic. I'd really like to hear the details. Was alcohol involved (hopefully not)? Did he maybe just fall asleep at the wheel? Was he distracted (looking at his phone or something), causing him to miss the flashing lights and stay oblivious to the honking horn? Maybe asking those questions will bother some people since today should could possibly be viewed as "mourning only," but I think we have a right to know how this happened...

I woke up this morning with ESPN News on and I saw his name in the lower-right corner. I knew it couldn't be good.

I think it's a good think that he left on a strong note with the team. I know nearly completely irrelevant, but I would rather see him leave on a good note rather than a bad one, just for the sake of his legacy and reputation.

Pretty shocking that this happened, though. A lot of times these celebrity deaths don't bother me, but given how closely I've followed this team it really hits close to home. Not good news to wake up to...

Stuff like this is so unexpected.

the question does need to be asked.

If this turns out to be a case of being killed by a drunk driver, does anyone know the whereabouts of Tony LaRussa or Leonard Little in that time frame?

R.I.P.
I feel like getting banned at CT.
i'll freaking join you :evil:
totally uncalled for........i am pissed......sorry mods
this guy should be reported

fellas

don't let the idiocy of morons bring you down to their level. I fault the Card talk Mods for not deleting the thread.
Once one of their mod wakes up from his Saturday night bender, someone will delete it I'm sure.

Truely sad........ Way too young, so much infront of him.......Life is not fair sometimes. My heart goes out to his family, I can't and don't ever want to imagine having to plan a funeral for my child....That would have to be a parents worst nightmare. My prayers go out to his family. And to the moron who wrote that in CT........ hell has a special place reserved for you my friend.

This is truly unbelievable. I can remember everything about those first minutes I learned about Kile.

Unbelievable.

Fair winds and following seas, J. Hancock. :(

Wow. I was just perusing Social, going about my Sunday morning routine, when I jumped over to the Cards website to see what time the game was tonight. And my heart skipped a beat when I saw the headline.

Thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and teammates. :(

Tyler Johnson was with Duncan. I was just looking through my parade pictures and I can't find one of Josh during the parade.

Okay. I don't know how they can play tomorrow. The relievers are a tight group.
