[quote="bushido_man96"]It is kind of freaky. You hear about famous athletes all the time that come down with some strange thing like this, and it takes them right away, and you know they were healthy overall. Basketball and football players collapsing on the fields. I think that something wierd took Jackie Joyner-Kersey as well, a famous Olympic track athelte. (I hope that is the right name...)
Actually, Florence Griffith Joyner was the track star who passed away. She was the sister-in-law of Jackie Joyner-Kersee (married to her brother), I believe. _________________ Why did I have the bowl, Bart? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL??? |

Well, saw a picture of him. They were reporting on him the other week on the O'reilly Factor and a pic was shown of him smoking and looking very thin. Didn't look good. _________________ "You know the best thing about pain? It let's you know you're not dead yet!" |
