Footballjoe Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (Rotoworld)KRON Bay Area 4 reports former Bengals and Raiders LB Thomas Howard was killed Monday in a high-speed car accident on an Oakland highway. Analysis: Howard was allegedly driving over 100 MPH when he lost control of his BMW sedan and collided with a semi-trick in the left lane. Howard's BMW later struck a Chevy Monte Carlo and Honda CRV. The driver of the Honda was also killed, while the Monte Carlo owner was hospitalized. The accident is believed to have occurred at roughly 12:50AM Monday. Howard was a second-round pick by Al Davis' Raiders in 2006. He was a starter for five years in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delfamdelfam Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 no disrespect to this guy and his family, but why is this being posted? A marginal player that most people probably don't remember. I don't mean to be rude, but it was a freak accident. If he died because brain trauma or something caused by brain trauma, but people die everyday in America, I know it sucks but it's not really worthy of a thread in a fantasy football forum.

Chief Dick Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 commits murder, gets a thread. With all due respect, "getting a thread" is not exactly a reward. It's a topic of conversation, an observation, a reporting of news. Bagging on FootballJoe is unwarranted here, ICDHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess being a Code Enforcement Inspector with the City has gotten me think skinned. I didn't even realize I was being banged on. Thanks for having my back.

Gopher Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 With all due respect, "getting a thread" is not exactly a reward. It's a topic of conversation, an observation, a reporting of news. Bagging on FootballJoe is unwarranted here, ICDHO. Not to mention, the dude's dead, so I'm not sure who exactly it would be rewarding. Stuff like this gets posted all of the time, and I don't really see a problem with it. If the guy is irrelevant in your mind (not you, CD, but the other poster), don't read the thread. Like MV alluded to, I'd much rather read about this than somebody's day being ruined because they started Keenum instead of McGloin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Here's a video (with pictures of the vehicles) that includes statements from one of the officers on the scene, neighbors of the innocent victim who was also killed, and a friend of Howard's.... http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=resources/traffic&id=9329688 Sad.
