When tragic things happen in sports, everyone is expected to say something.

I don't have much to say, beyond that I think it's sad when someone so young dies so needlessly.

I do recommend reading this column by King Kaufman (sit through the ads if you have to, i.e. if you're not a Salon subscriber.) He's reliably one of the most level-headed and rational sports columnists out there, and here he is no different.

Read it.
