This is shocking.. I've been hit with a wave of sadness. I wonder why he killed himself. I can't picture him offing himself without something to say about it.

MemeStreams is the kind of place where I expect to read things like this first, and I did, so I'm memeing it, even though by the time you see this you'll already know. I pulled his last ESPN column (from just last week), but its a typical joke about mixing skeet shooting and golf. I won't even being to speculate about this. Its just a shame.

damn. another fine soldier down.
