Re: Former CCU and NFL RB dead of apparent heart attack
Terrible to see a young man die like this!  Thoughts and prayers to family, friends and fans.
On a separate note, that article reads like it was written by a high school kid. The use of "cops" and "eventually latched on with the CFL" just seems really shoddy for example. I don't generally comment on this type thing, but this seemed glaring.

Glad it was not just me that found the use of "cops" unusual and in poor taste.Yosef84 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 9:27 amTerrible to see a young man die like this! Thoughts and prayers to family, friends and fans.

Probably written by a UCLA intern and TMZ's "journalists" just looked the other way. (I use the term "journalists" very loosely.)
