A bit of sad news as former NFL FB Craig "Ironhead" Heyward has lost his battle with a recurring tumor and passed away at the age of 39. A few years ago, a stroke had left him partially paralyzed. According to the article, he was only expected to live another 3-5 years, so his death wasn't completely unexpected, as there were no plans to make another attempt at removing the tumor.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
