I still laugh when I recall the Cardinals game Madden called when one of the AZ runningbacks (can't remember his name now, as they all have come and gone so quickly over the years) lost his dreadlock when one of the Carolina Panthers yanked it out. Madden diagrammed the entire incident with his electronic pen and played it all back in slo-mo. It was hysterical.
Yeah, when I came across the special, I thought the same thing: 'is he dead?' did he die?' etc. And now this. The article said the death was sudden and no details have been released. Weird
