WoW, died at the age of 41.
He was a great player, its sad to see him die so young.

[thomeismyhomie]

Wow. What happened? Heart-related? That would scare some guys.

[JRoll]

i can't find ANY confirmation of stuart scott's surprising announcement anywhere.

[thomeismyhomie]

They say heart attack. Autopsy tommorrow.
Man, you could almost see that one coming right there.

[Ryno]

good work jroll.
thanks.

[JRoll]

good work jroll.
thanks.
Did they announce it on SC tonight?

[Ryno]

Did they announce it on SC tonight?
yeah, just now.

[Ryno]

that's just some fucked up shit right there.
that man was three years YOUNGER than me.
my God, what a waste.

[thomeismyhomie]

that's just some fucked up shit right there.
that man was three years YOUNGER than me.
my God, what a waste.
Like I said, there's more than a few guys in their respective clubhouses right now who are rethinking that next needle. It's fucked up, but I believe its true.

[JRoll]

There is also a report out there that Christopher Reeve died tonight too. What a horrible day.

[StevieBDunkNOnU]

Steriods? How about his cocaine addiction? That probably contributed to it MUCH more.

[thomeismyhomie]

You want to explain the difference there?

[Ryno]

wow.
no confirmation but...

[StevieBDunkNOnU]

Uh, Cocaine. Steriods. See how the letters are different? Cocaine is the more recent drugs hes been on. Doing steriods for 2 years isnt going to make you having a heart attact at 41. Doing a lot of cocaine will.

[thomeismyhomie]

How sad. I know we arent supposed to talk about politics, but John Kerry brought him up during the debate. He said through stem-cell research, that Reeve had expressed to him the hope of walking again someday. Thankfully, if this is true, we know that he is truly in a better place and wont be confined anymore. What a terrible day.

Man, I'm not going to fire back at you. I thought you would show some tact and not desecrate the guys name any further. I know the difference man. I made a point and you really should have shown better manners.

[StevieBDunkNOnU]

So you didnt want me to say he was a coc-head? I dont get it. Then why did you ask me if i wanted to explain the difference?

[JRoll]

Who's going to be the third in the group because it has been shown that celebrities always die in 3's. I know it's horrible to say but it's true.

[thomeismyhomie]

I'm 24 f-ing years old. I do not need someone to explain the difference between cocaine and steroids, ok buddy. When I said that, I thought you would consider what I was saying rather than just post some smartass reply. But it's ok, do your thing. I have nothing left to say about it to you.

[PhilaVa]

So you didnt want me to say he was a coc-head? I dont get it. Then why did you ask me if i wanted to explain the difference?

I think he was just asking you to show him a little respect, both of you calm down.

[StevieBDunkNOnU]

Im fine. I truely didnt know what you meant man. I thought you were trying to be a smartass to me........my bad if i affended you man.

[thomeismyhomie]

I think he was just asking you to show him a little respect, both of you calm down.
Actually I was pretty calm Phila. Why would I respect a guy who talks to me like I'm two years old? No thanks.

Yeah, Rodney Dangerfield dying was a tough blow as well. Espacially when it appeared he was going to pull through.

[Ryno]

looks like a misunderstanding. it's hard to type how you feel and express yourself in the way you mean the other person to 'get you'.

no harm done. i gotta admit i read it funny too at first.
that's the trouble with typing to each other, instead of talking to each other over beers.

You're right. 99% of shit like that on here is for that reason. Especially, like I said, Caminiti was a hero of mine and my emotions are extra-sensitive.

Rodney Dangerfield died a few days ago after being in a coma for a month, following heart surgery. That makes 3.

That's not entirely true.

Steroid abuse has been shown to induce heart attacks in athletes under the age of 30. Steroids increase LDL levels, while decreasing HDL levels. This leads to the development of atherosclerosis, in which fatty substances start to block arteries and disrupt blood flow. Steroids also increase the chances of blood clots.

While cocaine may have been the mitigating factor in his death, the steroid abuse may have put such a strain on his heart, that the drug abuse was too much to take.

I think doing a lot of cocaine at any age will lead to death.

[PhilaVa]

SC just reported that his death was due to a drug overdose, not a heart attack.

[thomeismyhomie]

SC just reported that his death was due to a drug overdose, not a heart attack.
Yeah, unfortunately that wasnt too much of a shock.

[BraynDrayn]

SC just reported that his death was due to a drug overdose, not a heart attack.

Did they identify the drug?

I would assume cocaine
