Wonder if one of them was this guy....I remember hearing some rumors back then as to what really happened.

And...I know this is morbid...but my parents owned Funeral Homes in Houston...and I picked up Jeff Alm’s body (and his friend) at the crash scene, and took them to the Harris County Medical Examiner’s office on Old Spanish Trail. It was horrid!

I mean, the innuendo regarding the sexual proclivity of Alm & Lynch, I don’t think was ever in question. That they were homosexuals - that is probably true. But there was no hanky-panky going on in when the accident happened. That, I’m sure of. Those dudes were drunk.

Upon Alm’s death - and because he was a big, burely football man - coupled with questions about why he would kill himself over another man, is what sensationalists feed off of, in the media and/or the public sector. Everyone loves a good trainwreck. In the case of Alm, it took very little effort to get the rumor mill started. Obvious, really.

And what do they say, like a conservative estimate that at least 10% of American males are gay or bisexual? It baffles the mind that one could extrapolate, in turn, that around 10% of football players could be gay, as well. I can’t quite wrap my mind around that - it seems to be a contradiction of terms - but I guess it’s probably true too.

No, I’ve been out of the business since 1998. I’m a much better person for it. It was a freakin’ depressing job.
