Auburn football players shot

Nothing good happens after midnight. It turns out that when you hang out with crap people at crap places, you tend to catch a lot of crap events.

It's unfortunate that two young men died but you reap what you sow.

I've used that exact phrase with my kids for years (just used it again 2 weeks ago).

Bad things happen to otherwise good people who find themselves where they shouldn't be during bad hours.

Things have indeed changed. Fist fights are the rarity. Guns and knives are considerably more common in a fight situation than when I grew up and when I was into the club scene.

Far too dangerous anymore.

That's sad.. never like to see talent wasted.

My little sister goes to AU.

However, being an Alabama fan..

Still sad.

OK, this is a tragedy to be sure. Nobody deserves to be gunned down like this because of an argument "over a woman".

I do have a bit of a problem with the way it was covered by ESPN. Sure they are a sports news outlet, bet jeeeez.

They go over the top to spell out the name and the football positions played by every football player involved, but it wasn't until the 12th paragraph that any of the others that were killed were even mentioned by name.

If I was killed would they have mentioned in the first 10 paragraphs, "John was a recently laid off poker room manager who was desperately looking for work to support his family"? Nah, it would have just been, "John, a Gilpin County resident, was also killed" a dozen paragraphs down.

What if the football payers were to blame here? It's possible. I was a football player, so I have no axe to grind here. And I knew some seriously assholish football players too. Just seems way biased to me.

Either way, God Bless those who were killed senselessly. What a shame.
