Houston was desperate, they needed to do something, to dump him.
SEA offer was perfect timing, for Seattle, and obviously other Offers for Clowney
were weaker.
HOU could have received more for him in a deal back around the draft, quite possibly.
He's gonna join his old man Oliver - help the new XFL get off the ground,
Oliver is one of the chief XFL heads and executives, he has alot invested in this,
this "retirement" was a ruse, it is all about being the face of the New XFL next Spring.
Oliver Luck is behind all of this...
Your linky is No Good, ...... maybe Santa Monica Observer article / link was jumping the gun, too quick possibly, as right now nothing on the LA Times or OC Register sites yet.
Since your Link was taken down by SM paper, maybe they are waiting a bit longer, make sure it is all accurate...
true, and Josh left a bar hammered and was driving 100mph at like .24 or something,
but I guess no different than Jose Fernandez speeding on his boat all coked up.,
shit, damn it,
IF True, not exactly the news we wanted to hear. that is sad,
and will be a dark cloud over his memory and life, like Jose Fernandez being all coked up speeding at 3am on his jet boat; wish these star athletes would learn from one another about these dangers.
and, in addition to Jose Fernandez, Y. Ventura, Kile, Skaggs and Adenhart deaths -
there have been a few others the past decade,
another Angel, Luis Valbeuna 3B died down in the DR in the winter.
Oscar Tavares, young OF for STL, car wreck with GF down in the DR (kinda like Ventura)...
good point, but that would be possibly more likely if it happened overnight.
Sounds like it was early afternoon, 1pm or 2pm area, midday., when he passed.
If the reports are correct,
Suicides usually occur overnight, with drugs, etc
like Chris Cornell, ....
saying he was at the hotel; the paramedics and police were called, his mates were around likely,
sounds like Heart attack, or brain aneurysm, that type of thing,
Vaughn was a Great pick, and very happy they did not go the CJ Abrams route, who was more of a 4- 5 year Project.
Vaughn should be up by latter part of 2020,
and along with Madrigal, Luis Robert and the others, they will only strengthen this already solid young offense.
