R.I.P., Marquise Hill (1982-2007)

Re: SERIOUS NEWS: Marquise Hill missing after jetski accident

The offseason really stinks because it is just more opportunity for players to get into trouble like this.

I really hope he is ok.

Not that it has anything to do with this but in Northern NE where I go to ski, 80% of the people on the slopes wear helmets.

I've been skiing since I was three and I still wear a helmet every time I go.

My father is the best skiers I have ever seen outside of the profesionals and he wears a helmet as well.

Re: SERIOUS NEWS: Marquise Hill missing after jetski accident

Poor bugger. I really, really feel for his family at this point.

Re: SERIOUS NEWS: Marquise Hill missing after jetski accident

Not for nothing, but he was going to get cut this offseason. This makes the defensive line depth chart easier to manage, and is good news for Kareem Brown.

Don't pretend that you all loved him. He was a second round bust, and the subject of many fat jokes on this board. We all knew what he was, and there is no use trying to re-write history. He sucked yesterday, and being dead today doesn't change that.

RIP Marquise Hill--maybe you'll do better in heaven's D-line rotation.

gtfo. please. ******* leave and never come back. what the **** does inability on the field have anything to do with this? He was a model citizen..he was a smart person. he was never a thug..never caused violence. i guess when u die we can say..he sucked at posting. what difference does it make.

its no difference if hes tom brady or marquise hill. a possible dead player is terrible..especially a model citizen who helped around the community and reached his dream of making it to NFL.

Man, you are a callous SOB.

Its about caring about him as a person. And showing yourself to be a human. All the garbage you posted doesn't matter.

My prayers go out to Marquise Hill's family and to Marquise in hopes of a safe return.

Re: SERIOUS NEWS: Marquise Hill missing after jetski accident

Prayers for him and his family.

They have something up now.

It took them awhile but they're better than ESPNNEWS. I had ESPNNEWS on for about 45 minutes a few hours ago and they never said a word about this tragic story. They had something on the bottom line but come on... if this was Terrell Owens who's missing we'd have Michael Irvin balling his eyes out on all ten ESPN channels right now.

That is by far the worst post I have ever seen. I think many people would agree that you one-uped me on my rant on how "tight" Chad Jackson and Laurence Maroney were because their "pitch-black". But, for you to say that Hill's potential death makes room under the depth chart easier for other players is pretty sick. I could care less about how good/bad Hill is at football, but this is his life were talking about. I didn't love Hill, nor do I love any other Patriot on this team because I'm only a fan, nothing else. I pray he is still alive, this is aweful news.

Obviously it's not going to get as much coverage as if it were a star player. But if you want to look at it from a detached media coverage point of view, as a story it will likely get more traction than the Williams & Nash passings.

Again, if you want to look at it from a matter-of-fact media story POV, you have him instructing his friend and saving her, combined with the whole Louisana/LSU/Katrina angle, which still has legs in the media. Plus, he is a Patriot, which is one of the more popular media teams.

Don't worry -- by the time the day is out it will be a top story.

Again, not that I want to look at this from a clinical angle, its still a tragedy and my utmost concern is for family and friends, but I'm sure this will become a bigger story.

To be fair, it was Monday morning of a holiday weekend and i'm sure they had to round up the PR and media people to put something together. It's not like they were at the stadium twiddling their thumbs.....

Re: SERIOUS NEWS: Marquise Hill missing after jetski accident

Hope everything turns out positive, we are talking about a life and who cares about his football career. People make mistakes a lot of times, but life is only once.....................my prayers are going out to his family and him.

There are times when you have to forget your duties as a moderator. There are times when you have to forget the rules that govern this forum. This one of them.

TaxPlaya, **** you.

In the 30 minutes since your post, we've already received three complaints about it.

I was mistaken when I thought the news on Marquise was the worst thing I'd read today! This has to be the worst post I've seen on this board.
Mods, can we show this idiot the door?

Re: SERIOUS NEWS: Marquise Hill missing after jetski accident

That really sucks for you all. I mean, we had two players go this offseason and it hurts more than you would think. I hope he's ok. He's in my prayers.
