Happy Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Here is a link from Pro Footballl Talk on NBC Sports: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/veteran-nfl-writer-don-banks-225418730.html All it says is that he died in his sleep, and nothing as to why.
Boatdrinks Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Shame at just 56. Read his stuff for years and always had respect for his takes. 2
TigerJ Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Under the circumstances, I would guess the most likely cause of death is heart attack or stroke. It should make us cognizant of the fragility of life. Being older, it sure reminds me not to take the time I have left for granted. 1 1
Augie Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 That is WAY too young. Make the most of everyday. Appreciate your family and loved ones.....and let them know it! RIP 2
YoloinOhio Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) do they know how he died? Edited August 5, 2019 by YoloinOhio
stony Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Snap Judgments was a must read when he was with SI. RIP, Don. 2
BobChalmers Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Yuck - as someone who is turning 56 a month from tomorrow - I concur that's too young! Also agree Banks was a good writer - he was one of the best - solid takes w/o any of the stupid trolling too many have fallen into. 1
CowgirlsFan Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Incredibly sad. RIP Condolences to one and all.
dave mcbride Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 On of my favorites over the years. Very sad.
Thurman#1 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Young guy. He was a good writer. That's a real shame.
