Dwayne Haskins Passes away

[gorillaz]

Per Adam Schefter

Dwayne Haskins, a standout at Ohio State before struggling to catch on with Washington and Pittsburgh in the NFL, died this morning when he got hit by a car in South Florida, per his agent Cedric Saunders. Haskins would have turned 25 years old on May 3.

[TheHeel]

Just saw. Terrible.

[Dbacksbaseball]

Sad. Just awful.

[TheFrenzy]

I thought this was a terrible, late April Fool's joke.

......what a tragedy.

[packman80]

24 years old way to young. Thoughts to his family and friends at this time.

[xbignick]

Schefter continues to prove he's the biggest POS in the sports reporting world.

[texmcpherson]

I remember him being a stud for tOSU... That's awful news.

[packman80]

Schefter continues to prove he's the biggest POS in the sports reporting world.

Why? Because he reported this after his agent confirmed the news?

Wait... so he wasn't involved in a car accident but was hit by a vehicle??

[zeus22]

Ahhhh...Seriously....there was no need to include this:

"before struggling to catch on with Washington and Pittsburgh in the NFL"

Now his tweet is gone.

[xbignick]

He just deleted the tweet and tried to rewrite his Instagram post on the topic (changing struggling to playing).

Highlighting NFL struggles before reporting someone has literally died is a horrible look.

Terrible and sad news. I was really hoping Haskins would bounce back. He was fun to watch in college. RIP Dwayne.

And Adam Schefter has always been a POS.

And that’s a very competitive title

[TheFrenzy]

Unconfirmed, but local news is reporting that a man of Haskins' age was struck and killed by a dump truck at the same time/location. The man (possibly Haskins) had pulled over—due to either car trouble or a minor accident—and gotten out of the car when he was clipped by the large truck.

Either way, Haskins had been in Florida attending a special offseason QB practice that Mitch Trubisky had called. Haskins was there with the other Steelers QBs and a few of the skill players.

Economic freedom means you are free to personally profit off tragedies.

Freedom of speech means others are free to call you a death merchant and express their disgust.

That's really all that needs to be said.

Well I don’t own any Haskins cards to sell, so I’m not much of a death merchant. And if I did, I could care less what someone that doesn’t have access to my life or bank account would call me. Life is too short to worry about what others think.

I feel the same way. Now if you’re selling pictures of his dead body or stealing all of his s*** and squatting in his house like Demaryius Thomas’ “friends” were when he died now that’s a totally different story.

Now I’ve always wondered about buyers in a situation like this. It has to be an emotional “I’ve gotta have it now!!!” type of mentality because Haskins cards will go back down to what they were yesterday or even lower in a few weeks time.

[wilsonsingles]

Maybe listing and selling his cards on eBay is a celebration of his life and achievements. That's what i would want if i was a professional athlete and i passed away unexpectedly.
I don't understand why so many look at this in a negative way.

And of course, I also think it is a tragedy for anyone to lose their life especially at such a young age.

We were literally in an LCS in Columbus (my kid is getting into it) when the news hit… it was kind of surreal at the store honestly

Every kid ran to the Ohio State section. Not because they wanted to flip something. They wanted a Haskins card

Is that eBay? No… it’s flippers

But if that’s how buyers can get something they want?

Still cardboard pictures

The investment spike for Haskins will be short term and then his cards will decline to near commons prices.

Haskins never did anything in the NFL, that holds no long term value for his cards.

Hank Aaron and other recent deaths of legends have a resume that will be followed for generations.

PS if anybody thinks they are making blood money of a Haskins sale then donate the money to Unicef or the Red Cross as people in the Ukraine could use the world's help right now.

Does not mean he was drunk or on drugs. There are lots of idiots that try to cross roads even highways in the middle of the road and not a correct spot to cross.

I hope he wasn't drunk or on drugs as well, but I have to admit that it was my first thought when the story said he was crossing a major highway at 6am.

Either way, RIP Mr. Haskins.

Just unimaginable tragedy. Prayers for his family.

Clearly far too young, there must be a story behind this.

Is it a highway with stoplights and he was jaywalking or like a 6 lane interstate?


The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said the incident occurred at about 6:30 a.m. on April 9 when the 24-year-old Haskins was trying to cross a highway on foot in Broward County, NBC News reported.

FHP Lieutenant Indiana Miranda said in an email that the National Football League (NFL) player was walking on “a limited access facility for unknown reasons” and tried to cross the westbound lanes of Interstate 595 while traffic was coming.

There is nothing wrong with this line of thinking. Gil Brandt just said what some folks probably thought but are to scared to say. We live in an incredibly soft society now. There are more people upset over a 90 yr old with no filter and the way a sports reporter phrased a Tweet then they are about a very young man losing his life. Either way, sad and tragic day. Go find a loved one and give them a hug just because.

To the people clutching at their pearls over Schefter's tweet.... I took it as him reminding casual and semi-casual fans of who Haskins was, what teams he had played for, that he was still in the league and how he got there.

No one would be complaining at that description of Haskins if he were still alive... but he's dead, so it's incorrect or wrong to mention his career.... in a sports journalist tweet? His intent wasn't to crap on the guy. He was describing him and where people would know the name from. No one was following Haskins career on a large scale anymore, so he brought them up to speed. He also complimented his play at OSU. What's the problem with what he said?

It’s not about people “being soft.” It’s about an unneeded comment by a professional sportswriter. I think the difference comes down to throwing it in a tweet vs adding it in an actual article. The bum decided to waste space on it in his tweet. And he deleted it probably knowing he’d be called a “racist.” Not because it was “ill timed.”

[OneBuck]

I had the opportunity to Dwayne at a few charity events after he joined the Steelers. He was great with the fans & all of his fellow teammates appeared to love him. It seemed like every event there were Steelers players involved he was there and happy as could be.

I’ve found that more times than not the people who cry about everyone being offended, soft, crybabies, woke, snowflakes & whatever other buzzword they come up with are generally dinosaurs who are just mad that there are consequences when they spout off any tone-def, racist, misogynistic or homophobic thought that pops into their head.

If Schefter wants the accolades that come with being the mouthpiece for the NFL then he gets to eat his #@#@#@#@ when he says something stupid. It was an unnecessary dig at the worst time & somebody in his position should’ve known better.

Devastating news. Haskins seemed like a decent dude and a helluva OSU alum.

This type of accident happens to many police officers every year. They get out of their cars on the highway and idiots aren't paying attention and hit them.

[letsgocapitals]

Schefter tweets something out that is slightly distasteful.

Schefter deletes the tweet and posts a new one that is more tasteful.

Virtue signalers pounce.

Virtue signalers are way worse than a Schefter mistake.

BTW... if Schefter apologized yesterday, he takes the story off of Haskins. So if he's going to, it actually makes more sense to give it a day or two.

How often do initial reports turn out to be wrong? Let’s start with over/under 50%? Not saying the initial reports to this incident are not factual, just pointing out that people should wait on ALL of the facts.

Will Kaepernick replace Haskins on the roster now?

Amazing how much you subsidize the cost of him living in your head.

Can remember when Terry Glenn passed away in a car accident with a level 2 times higher than legal. 43 years old and gone. Haskins was nearly twice as young and whatever occurred, he will never have another opportunity.

Just wish his family can stay strong.

I don't see an issue here, but I acknowledge that my thoughts on humans and death may not be seen as normal or socially acceptable. If this were an unmoderated forum I'd be cracking jokes about other QBs I wouldn't mind walking into traffic, but I understand that I should self-censor in certain places. You're not wrong, but you're probably going to upset some people.

It's because Blowout isn't really that anonymous.

If you ever buy/trade a card from someone here or through their linked eBay, you're going to be privy to their identity. Plus many members here know each other in real life and say hey at card shows and events.

What someone says and does here reflects more on them than sh#tposting on a truly anonymous forum.

Sorry. I want to know what happened. My team drafted him. And I'm curious as to what led to his sudden death. Clearly his dad is a nut. And with that comes a lot of pain. Competing at that level can also tack on pressure. So to read that he had booze and drugs in his system isn't surprising.

For years, I've said that EVERY professional athlete should be required to a counselor once a month. Some of these folks need life coaches assigned to them. That sort of investment makes all too much sense.

Everyone had to have known he was impaired somehow. People don't just go from one side of an interstate to another because they "need gas". There are other avenues to "Get Gas".... AAA, Your insurance company, or Florida's road rangers that are dispatched to broken down vehicles(it is a AAA service that Florida provides) All of Florida's interstates have cameras and FDOT watches them. I was actually on 595 right after his death, and anyone would be an absolute moron to cross that road at anytime of the day.

Thats because Japan actually punishes their criminals instead of letting violent people out time and time again. When you let someone out after their 3rd armed robbery in a 5 year period, and think they are going to change, its insanity. When you nolle pross the majority of gun charges, and plea shootings down to 2nd degree assault, you get more crime. Japan dont play that. Not to mention the japanese people as a whole still understand and practice what respect is. Theft in Japan gets you 10 years of hard labor. Here, we just watch it happen and post it in tik tok

Suing pretty much everyone in a conspiracy theory lawsuit. Also suing the dump truck driver saying his negligent acts lead to his death? Or maybe Haskins was stoned and it's his own fault he walked out in front of a dump truck on a highway. SMH sounds like a money grab lawsuit.

"The lawsuit also alleges negligence by the individual owner of the 1994 Kenworth truck, the trucking company, the Florida Department of Transportation, the rental car company and the contractor that provides signage along I-595."

"The Florida Highway Patrol Traffic Homicide Report shows that Dwayne was only feet away from making it safely across the roadway when he was struck and killed by an old dump truck," Ellsley said in the statement.

I'll admit the clickbait headline got me to read the article. Sure sounds like a total fishing expedition to find someone, ANYONE to blame (read: extract money from).

This is the best part:

"The lawsuit also alleges negligence by the individual owner of the 1994 Kenworth truck, the trucking company, the Florida Department of Transportation, the rental car company and the contractor that provides signage along I-595."

Guess there should have been more signs to tell people not to walk across 6-8 lanes of traffic?

Will they be suing themselves as well for teaching him not to play in the street when he was a kid?
