Honestly think Gen Z (born between 1997 and 2012) is gonna be the last ones to really be in on football like that.

Unless you're a punter/kicker, shyt may not be worth it.

thats what a lotta folks on Twitter sayin, but it is the internet. I don't think its been confirmed though. Wasn't talkin bout the baseball player.

He died in police custody in East Oakland. No other details released yet other than, police were called at 415am to reports of a break-in, and when they arrived, Doug was experiencing an as yet unspecified medical emergency.

This almost sounds like he injured himself while breaking into a home, and died because of that injury.
