RIP Jim. So many deaths from guys who played in the 90's. You have to wonder how much steroids played a part in any of the deaths? Plus some guys had serious health problems, like Bruschi and Bouie. I always hope that none of them took steroids.

Wonder if they will do an autopsy and check for CTE. Never forget Junior Seau, one of the most impressive players I have ever seen.

I don't think it was suicide because Sanders tweeted a week or two ago to pray for Jim

Wow so many guys gone from one team at such young ages. That seems to defy the odds. RIP big Jim

Terrible news. He was such a dominating DT who played with passion like the rest of that amazing defense.
RIP Jim.

RIP. Did all the dirty, anchor work on the defense and seemed like the ultimate team guy. Didn't need the credit as long as the D got the job done. Whole team was that way.
