Damn this really really sucks! I have a couple family members who are very close friends to Vincent and his family! Ive never met him, but always heard great things about him as a person! RIP!!!

So young. RIP.

Shocking. RIP

[MTC]

Terrible news. RIP.

[PrincetonTiger]

I am confused    
   The report I read said he went missing the 10 but he was found in his hotel this morning

[Chrisaaron1023]

Uhg. I hate this . I lost my uncle at 49 last month. This just brings up such sad news. Life is soo fragile. Please kiss your loved ones and don't hold on to grudges, it's just not worth it. 

 

RIP sir, I have prayed for you wife and children.. 

 

My heart is hurting

[2006Coltsbestever]

Damn, shocking. Sad, RIP. 38 is so young.

[IndyD4U]

Too young

[crazycolt1]

RIP . My thoughts are with the family. 

[NFLfan]

Very sad news. Rest in peace. My condolences to his family and all those military families that he helped with his foundation. 

 

I don't know if it is because I am getting older, but it seems that I am feeling the impact of these deaths a lot more than I did in the past. Already, people I knew well  like John Chaney, Tommy Lasorda, Hank Aaron, Paul Westphal, Ted Thompson, Marty Schottenheimer, Vincent Jackson, and others have died in a month and a half this year.

He was, they located him at the hotel, and cancelled the report. This morning a maid found him

RIP, gone way too soon!

Death is inevitable, but when you hear someone that you've watch thru the years play at a high level, very sad especially that young. Condolences to the family.

My step sister and brother in law were very close to VJax! Theyre very shocked over this! They dont know anything yet about what happened, but we think that maybe he had CTE! If thats the case, and he took his own life, this would be very devastating! Especially since he has 4 children! It would hurt less to know maybe it was from natural causes, but definitely very suspicious!

Alcoholism to deal with CTE

The hard hits are the worst part about the game. Smash mouth football has a high cost. No amount of money these players make can fix their bodies/brains at the end of the day. This game we all love comes at such a high price to those who play it. And not to take away from it but…

 

Yet it pales…and I mean REALLY pales in comparison to the priceless cost that all of our wonderful military veterans go through for the ultimate cost of happiness (our freedom). God bless every single past, present, and future military member, and to

all their friends and families who share that sacrifice.

Yep. As dangerous the NFL is, there are dozens of careers far more dangerous, paid less, while being less appreciated.

 

e.g. law enforcement, military, loggers, roofers, miners, construction workers.
