    Damn. I was just watching espn last night when they said he went to the hospital for heat exhaustion. I think it was the second day in a row he felt sick or something...this is bad. Man, i didn't think he was going to die. [​IMG]

    ESPN reported he had a temperature of 108 when he arrived at the hospital, and was very incoherent and nonresponsive.

    Very sad.

    RIP.

    The dangers from dehydration and heat stroke are very real. Drinking lots of water on hot days, especially if doing something active like playing football, is crucial.

    Wow. I heard he was hospitalized last night, but I didn't think it would lead to this.

    It's very very sad that this happened, this is the third athlete to die from heat stroke in the past year I believe at the college and pro level, people need to start paying more attention to things that are going on, hopefully this will lead to more attention being paid to this subject.

    Whatever happened to feminism being about taking off bras and burning them? That was so much cooler. It had two things that men love - jiggly breasts and fire.
