he had some lady accuse him of sexual assault, but the charges were dropped and she was found out to be a professional scammer.
This is just sick. The man just died. The family is guaranteed to be in tatters, especially his young children. They don't need some internet guy trashing their father.
You need to get a life.
how sad for his family....such a young fellow -
prayers lifted - the suddeness of the whole thing should cause everyone some pause and reflection
a "just damn" ping.
RIP ping...
Shut up.
But, you know how that goes.
Aquittal or not, most folks just winked and nodded, and his image as a sports hero in MN took a huge hit.
Prior to the assault charges, they would've named a stadium after him.
Is it also your personal preference to act like an idiot when someone just died?
Prayers for his family.May he rest in peace.
Sounds like you were always the last one picked for kickball.
he once said he did not think he would live past 50 because both of his parents died young. bad genes. RIP.
Such eloquence.
Prayers for his soul and comfort for his family. Much too young.
Rest in peace.
God Bless Kirby and his family.
Thanks for the memories Kirb.
I was at game 6 of the 91 series. Unbelievable roar of the crowd when he was introduced. Will never forget that game. RIP
AM you better get this piece of human scum off this thread....before someone gets banned or suspended.
