Eerie story--
I watched the Rose Bowl but would not have remembered the name Mario Danelo except that this week his name, Mario Danelo, was used in a David Letterman's Top Ten. I thought, why him? Why not a bigger name from the team, or Coach Carroll? Was it his play in the Rose Bowl? He did miss two easy PATs, but he made two field goals and the misses had no effect on the game's outcome. I wondered whether he did something off-field that I hadn't heard of to earn this attention.
Then last night I heard about his death, not long after seeing Dallas QB Romo actually make a game-deciding blunder. Angelo taking his own life came to mind...but why Letterman?
I think the Letterman connection is eerie, but post#67 shows Mario's father played for the New York Giants, so manybe Mario's name was prominent in New York media and this is how it came to Letterman's attention??
very eerie, for sure. Maybe Letterman will address it.
And what a blunder by Romo last night. Then I heard about this and thought the same thing you did, but I'll wait to hear the ruling. Let's hope LA County surprises us and does a good job of investigating this tragic and sad death of this young man with so much promise.
1. Suicide
2. Slip or fall from loose gravel, portion of cliff breaking off
3. Climbing in unsafe area
4. Drunk
Most of the murders I made were dumped in a river or lake. Sad story, but I wouldn't speculate on a cause. College kids get depressed and off themselves. They also get drunk and fall. Football players tend to be risk takers, so he could have just been climbing and fell.
