Albert Haynesworths Brother Killed in Motorcycle Crash

[GhettoDogAllStars]

Sending good vibes and "blessings on the universe" to Haynesworth and his family.

Terrible news. Motorcycles are completely dangerous if not used properly.

I have had friends pass away from improper use. I also have friends who ride them respectfully and are well. It is all about the improper use.

My thoughts and prayers go out to AH's family and friends.

Haynesworth is pretty candid about his need for speed, and his penchant for driving at excessively high speeds is well documented (whether in his car, on his ATV, on his boat). I wonder if this tragedy will cause him to revisit his "speed hobby"

[Longtimefan]

Prayers out to the McCoy family and friends. RIP

on a side note, to all those who make comments online about how your thoughts and prayers go to the vicitms families in situations like this, answer me this:

have you REALLY prayed to whatever God you beleive in about haynesworth's family? Or is it just another thing to say that has absolutely no meaning, like RIP?

Anytime I see something like this I say a small prayer in my mind, and I do think about how rough is it to lose a family member and what their family must be going through. I think it's just a human reaction that many people just stop for a second to think about our own mortality and how a loss affects family.

Absolutely. I also do for anyone else on this planet who is going through what he is going through.

I would answer yes. When I hear news like this I do say a prayer for the people involved. I may not spend hours praying for them, but they are in my thoughts and prayers briefly.

[Longtimefan]

I pray for everybody everyday, even for those who are insensitive to the power of it.

If the funeral is on Sunday he shouldn't play nor should he play if he can't focus and play at a high level. The NFL season is 16 games long...the decent thing to do is to show up for your teammates but if he doesn't I won't hold it against him.

Family trumps all. Football can wait.

[SFREDSKIN]

The way Shanahan handles AH during this tragedy, could be what mends the fences between them. RIP to AH's brother.

Yes and no. When my grandfather passed away I still went to work the day I found out because it was our product release date and shit need to get done or we wouldn't make the date. Life is not always ideal, you got to do what you got to do even under tough circumstances.

No one should hold it against someone for putting family first though.

Lord give his family comfort. And good point SFREDSKIN.
