Magic Johnson's press conference saying he's retiring immediately because of AIDS I'd say was bigger. But that's just me. Also, Aaron Hernandez.

Luck was one of if not the most harolded draft prospect maybe ever, the next face of the league, in his prime coming off a monster season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone getting murdered by an active NFL player is pretty huge. Sure, it wasn't a big QB, but this goes beyond football to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it wasn't a big QB, but this goes beyond football to me. I agree. But the harsh reality is people get killed like every minute. Yes its crazy that an active athlete would murder someone. But Aaron wasnt really a big name or marquee player who played at a very obscure position. Maybe im minimizing those kinds of surprises/ shocking stories because even the OJ news didnt resonate like this, for me. Which saying out loud seems crazy but maybe that was because OJ was retired for so long and maybe because AH wasnt a marquee player. Idk man, like mid season, this news is still gonna be pretty shocking to me. Which seems silly in a holistic view of things murder vs retirement.
