A word of encouragement to everyone on this board

I just found out today about the murder of Darrent Williams. May his family and friends receive comfort in this time of mourning.

As just a reminder to what's really important in this life, I'm leaving this memorial for Darrent in my signature. Yes, the Chiefs are in the playoffs for the 2nd time in 9 years, and it's an exciting time for this organization, especially after coming off a loss of our own. But I will leave it in my signature as a reminder to us all that when it all comes down to it, football is a game. People make a living out of it, and it brings joy and excitement to our lives, but it's a game. Let's not lose sight of what really matters, and that is the life of every single living person out there. Too often we get wound up in who plays for which team and who is a "good guy" and a "bad guy." Now is the time to completely set that aside.

Nothing excuses the death of a man as young as 24, though. Nothing. Nothing except senseless, tragic violence, which is what happened here.

I'm putting DW in my signature for this very reason. I'm not demanding anything out of anyone by any means, but I encourage many of you to do the same out of respect for the life of a budding young star, and what he could have been had he been able to live for as long as he should have.

Thanks much,

SNR
