Former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Thomas Howard was one of two people who died in a fatal car crash on Monday morning in Oakland, Calif., according to KRON-TV in the Bay Area. A 55-year-old Hayward, Calif., man was identified as the other fatality in the accident.
According to the report, Howard was driving his BMW north on the interstate when he lost control of the vehicle and collided with a semi-truck. Howard was believed to be traveling at speeds of over 100 mph, according to the California Highway Patrol. (

ESPN just reported this on their MNF show. They said Howard hit a truck, flipped over the median, and crashed into another car, killing the driver. I thought it was nice how they gave Howard an RIP, and a moment of silence, but offered no condolences to the other driver. Stay classy, ESPN.

Well, to ESPN, it was probably the other guy who killed Howard, so...

They didn't give any condolences to the BMW either.

Roommate has ESPN on, just saw this. Kinda pisses me off, actually. Yeah, it sucks that someone died, but when the dude was going over 100 and kills another person? HA! They even ended the segment with something akin to "blah blah this is a tragic loss for football".
What about the guy who was minding his own business when an overpaid, underskilled shit stain launched his bmw over a median and onto his car? Oh, right, sports players are celebrities, and in the USA, celebrities can do no wrong.
My condolences to the family of the man who wasn't important enough to be remembered as the real tragedy.

Disgusting. Can't wait will we can raise the dead to punish them for their crimes.
I say we should then tie him to a tree and hit him with a 100mph BMW.
