Taking the rumor tag off. Looks like this is true. Absolutely terrible

[ScrubMD]

Oh man, this makes me feel sick.

[XZero771679666304]

Ugh, terrible. Not much else to say.

[Sammys Boombox]

Man, I really hate this.

[Sammy Sofa]

What the [expletive]. This is horrible. Just awful.

[treebird]

very, very sad.

[Guancous]

So sad. My heart goes out to all the Cardinals fans out there.

[Derwood]

Terrible.

[chuckywang]

Wow, just read this on deadspin. Shocking. It can all be taken away so quickly. Stay safe out there.

[illiniguy]

Way too young to die, this is heartbreaking.

[rawaction]

Damn. This sucks. Cardinal or not. Really liked his game. Hell, I traded for him in my dynasty league at the deadline this season I liked him so much.
