My 2 year old snores big time, my grandfather had the worse case his dr. ever saw (niether of us obese by any means). Have had 2 sleep studies done, my wife laughs at the mask (it comes off after about an hour) and it's not very intimate. She is PG, so she sober and usually a few drinks in her and she wouldn't notice the snoring as much.

The guy I spoke with said it was nice to dream again.

Oklahoma State Basketball team,
I forget his name but he played for the T'wolves and died racing his car after practice.

Bobby Phills (Hornets) was racing, Malik Sealy (TWolves) was hit by a drunk driver.

Eddie Griffin also died recently in a car wreck.

Chuck Hughes Lions WR had a heart attack on the field vs the Bears in 1971 and died. Lions retired his #85.

Tim Horton died drunk driving in 1974. He was still playing in the NHL at the time.

Bill Masterson was killed by a check on the ice in 1968. It led to mandatory helmets for all NHL players. The Masterson Award (Sporstmanship) is named after him.

Danny Frisella was a Braves/Mets pitcher in the 70's. He died in a dune buggy accident.

Danny Thompson Twins OF died in the 70's from leukemia.

Ken Hubbs Cubs 2B died in a plane crash at 23. He was the 1962 ROY, and the first rookie to win the Gold Glove.

Malik Sealy.

I can't believe how many athletes have died in the prime of their life.

Anyone know what the cause of death was for Joe Kennedy?
