Yes, I remember that now. He went to the stadium, spoke with Pioli and Crennel, then offed himself. Very sad story all around.
I'm not surprised about the alcohol bit. For someone to do these types of things, they really can't be sober.
Horrible mess of a hire:

So, which ST coach will Russ force Marrone to hire in 1-2 year's time when our ST is in the basement?
We have seen this season the complete transformation a team can enjoy if they get the right QB. And it also seems that rookie QBs can flourish just as well as 2-4 year vets. The fact that 2nd and 3rd QBs are doing so well is going to even raise their premium higher. That said, I really believe that if the Bills are targeting a QB with their 1st pick, whoever he may be, they better pay to move up.
I don't get some people on here wanting to draft a pass rusher. We just spent a boatload of cash on 2 pass rushers, plus we have Williams and Dareus (doesn't say much, I know). These players need to be coached up to their potential or get a different job.
What we need are LBs. I also wouldn't be totally against drafting another DB early. I think our team was set back quite a bit with McKelvin basically being a bust.
I would trade Spiller for a 1st and a 2nd in a heartbeat. There's no one irreplaceable on this team (yet). Plus, the right line can make any RB look good.
My money is on the Bills taking their QB at 8 (if they don't move up to get one). If another team takes their coveted QB before our turn, consider the draft a failure.
