Don't know about that -- Marquise Hill lost his life while rescuing a drowning friend. That strikes a chord, too.

The hatred and jealousy that some of you have for the Patriots is staggering. I only wish our franchise were run with as much competence, preparation, skill, imagination, and long-term planning.

Not that it matters, but he didn't die "rescuing a drowning friend." He died because he was jet skiing without a life jacket. And the "friend" if I remember correctly, was a woman that was not his wife/fiancee.
