I saw that from Donte as well. No clue what happened, either. Last I heard he got arrested for shooting a few rounds into his ex-girlfriends house down in Greenwood. Then the Colts released him.

 

I just saw this on Moncrief's insta too. News to me. I didn't realize he was let go.

Donte just posted on his Instagram that the Ex colt running back has passed away. Anyone have any info on what happened?

 

He did not reference Tipton by name - just 37.  Presumably that is a jersey # but maybe not.  Even if it is it could be a HS or college teammate because I see nothing on google about Tipton passing away.  In fact the name mentioned in the Tweet is Brodie.

 

Probably need to confirm this info before starting a thread on it.

A buddy sent me a screen shot of the post (I don't have instagram) and Moncrief attached a pic of Tipton.

Brodie is a term people use for friend. It means the same thing as "bro".  Also it has a picture of Zurlon and also refers to Detroit where Tipton is from. Think it's about as clear as you can get that he is referring to Tipton.

I only have Twitter and that post was not as clear as what you saw.

 

Apologies.

So sad.  I'm not for gun control but I am for gun education. 

 

This is was a totally avoidable accident.  My sympathies to his family.

 

I agree...though I am for at least some gun control. :P

 

RIP Zurlon and prayers go out to his family

Pulling a duffle bag out of the car at a car dealership with loaded guns in the bag. Unfortunate but it does beg the question what was he going to do with that bug with two loaded guns had one not gone off

 

Yeah, I don't think anyone educated in gun saftey would put them in a duffle bag also......  I'm curious to know what the heck the guy was doing.

 

Very sad situation.

This is just speculation but I don't think what he was going to do was a good thing

The story is on NFL.com that's how I just found out the story is he was at a car dealership carrying a duffle bag that had a gun in it I guess he jumped off a car and the gun went off from inside the bag shooting him and he was pronounced dead at a hospital soon after. From what I have read on thin even though its sad that is an *.

I am sad to hear of this news. Till more details come out it is hard to comprehend exactly what happened. Was it simply a case of a cheap gun or a safety matter? It is not common for a gun to just go off without some sort of safety measure not be taken.

I'm upset. Another young life lost. Crazy to think this could've been Talib a few days ago. But I don't understand what it is that makes these guys feel like they have to walk around with guns all the time. I understand where these guys come from because I've lived in the same type of environments but once you make it to the NFL, that's it. You shouldn't need to walk around strapped all the time. Damn.

Maybe he wasn't going to do anything with them.    Maybe he carries them with him for his personal protection.   He's at a dealership......   perhaps he's getting a new car and was simply transferring the bag from one car to the other?

 

Odds are overwhelming the incident was not going to turn into anything dark and sinister......    just saying...

Oh no question about it. I'm not accusing him of anything

Man, you have no idea what he was doing.  And until you do have an idea, I think you would be well served to leave it be.

    • This is spot on. Small market, and people want to think a St Elmo's steak, the combine and Manning's legacy is enough for people to want to just come to Indy to play. We don't have the night life, climate, roster or tax breaks to incentivize anyone to come here.  So the only way to do it is money.  We would automatically have to mark up every offer we want to make by 5-10% to have a chance at most of the top guys.  And the unfortunate reality of first tier free agents is that their value already gets marked up 20% to that players actual worth, so Ballard is probably out before the real negotiations are even taking place. We can afford to do that move for like ONE marquee player when the roster is ready....but not now, not on a good player who hit free agency because their former team didn't find them important enough to keep them.  We can never fall back on the fact that a we can lure a player here because of external factors.....because those will typically work against us. There was extensive discussion about this on page 48 of this thread. 
    • Yeah, his athleticism is from another planet.     To bad he doesn't believe in it(anything outside of the Earth). That media availability at the combine, didn't help his draft stock.
    • If they stick to that logic:    Tyler Owens SAF Texas Tech 12’2”   The broad jump record of 12 feet and three inches belongs to former Connecticut cornerback Byron Jones, who set the mark in 2015. Jones went on to be a first-round pick and it’s likely in part due to the explosive athleticism he showcased in this very drill.    He almost tied the record for longest broad jump 
    • This. Ballard has already traded a first round pick and got an additional 2nd. He had to trade out of the first round and the 2nd was the following year. I believe it was with Washington.  I’m with you. I highly doubt any team will give up their 1st and 2nd or 3rd for the 15th pick. 
    • Yep Love at first sight is a real thing. Congratulations Anthony and Jada.
