56. Way too young

[Mac4Lyfe]

Wow, sad news. RIP

[ikid2groove415]

Guy use to be obese-

[KVB]

Wow, RIP.

He was a part of the NFL coaching family for a long time.

Sparano is the only NFL head coach to lead a team to the playoffs the year following a one-win season, and only the second to conduct a ten-game turnaround, both of which he accomplished in his first season with the Dolphins.

Assuming it was cancer

[phinfan27615]

RIP Tony, will always cherish the memory of him taking us to the playoffs in 08-09 season using the wildcat

Assuming it was cancer

Why?

"Tony Soprano" died of a heart attack.

[LT Profits]

Assuming it was cancer

Not cancer.

The Vikings noted that his death was unexpected, but did not state the cause. According to journalist Chris Mortensen, Sparanos was admitted to the hospital after complaining about chest pains over the weekend. He was released after doctors performed tests. Sparanos and his wife Jeannette were about to leave for church on Sunday when she found him unconscious in their kitchen. He couldn't be revived.

Most people don’t take there health seriously until it’s 2 late!!! Dennis green was another big fella that went down years ago -

[Otters27]

Wow. Just saw too bad. Liked him with the Dolphins

[daneblazer]

Coaching isn’t a healthy profession

[jjgold]

I would think it was a heart attack terrible and he went to the doctor

he was just there at the hospital. probably has a nfl "great" healthplan as well...........only there is no plan unless you are top 1%

[jjgold]

I wonder if he did an EKG??

DR will be in hot water

Not an expert, but you would think if somebody checks in th ER with chest pain, besides your regular vital signs check, they would do blood work, EKG, labs, X-ray the works. Prior to sending him home.
unless he had an Aneurysm- then that one you couldn’t predict.

[jjgold]

It’s a terrible story, maybe it was an aneurysm that’s hard to detect

I remember as a kid my great uncle (grand fathers brother) had a heart attack, was in the hospital 4-5 days was being discharged and while shaving in his room had a massive heart attack and died. I guess when it’s your time it’s your time

[BIGDAY]

Guy could coach. Liked him in the OL role.

RIP

A buddy of mine died like this a few months ago. 52 - relatively healthy - went to the urgent care with some chest pains and just didn't feel right. They did some tests and sent him home. He died that night sleeping in his easy chair.

[Mr KLC]

Been there and done that. Went to the ER with pains in my neck 3 years ago. They found nothing but did more because I had a history of high triglycerides and cholesterol. Found out 3 of my arteries were 90% blocked and I needed a 5 bypass. If I didn't have that inquisitive doctor, I probably would have been dead in a couple of weeks because I was going to participate in a 5 mile walk for breast cancer with my daughter.

[jjgold]

I don’t like these stories terrible.

a lot of heart trouble is genetic

Wow!

Glad to hear that you’re still with us, man.

Mine was only a double bypass. I have Leukemia also. I'm on borrowed time, but enjoying every day.

RIP from a Dolphins fan. Always thought he was cool, and his players loved him.

[slambam]

A lot of people blaming doctors, but you never know. In February my father in law had a heart attack on a Monday. Had surgery, was doing well, they even kept him an extra day or 2 as a precaution. Released him on Friday, had another heart attack on Sunday morning and died. Doctors can only treat what they see.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

RIP, he seemed like a good guy and loved football.
