RIP Kevin Greene

[PAULYPOKER]

That mid 90s Steelers linebacker Corp might have been the best of all time

Greene
Lloyd
Brown
Kirkland (the black TTWarrior)

I met Greene and Lloyd at their favorite watering hole in my backyard during training camp ..

They were cool as fukk. Treated me like one of the guys..

Greene was a Wildman in the bars as well..

Always intense with everything, Lol......











RIP Kevin.....

I have a feeling you won't be resting very much though with all that natural stamina, Lol...

I remember him being on the niners. There was a game where both Young and Greene were out with injuries, and I want to say the Niner backup might have been Grbac at the time. Greene walks over to him before the opening drive and grabs him by the helmet to give him a pep talk. At the end of it, he legit headbutts Grbac (Grbac had his helmet on and Greene obviously did not). Legend.

Damm way to young.

Did we get a cause of death yet?

Nothing that I have seen..
Just that he passed away at his home in Florida..

[Chi_archie]

I gotta guess something sudden like cardiac or aneurysm

Football stars just don’t tend to age well. I think read a stat that their life expectancy is mid to late 50’s. They do it all for the glory. They live as dangerously as construction workers but get compensated pretty well.

Mr Greene was one of the few that played for pride and the love of the game..

[MinnesotaFats]

Was he part of the concussion lawsuit?

The silence regarding a cause of death is concerning...makes me fear self inflicted.

Not good for NFL

[King Mayan]

RIP big man!

[Chi_archie]

no cause of death made known to the public after a week

does that seem to indicate that it was suicide?

100%

Thou toxicology reports can take weeks, we'd be determining a suicide by overdose of something most likely.

Family been very tight lipped.

Kevin Greene: A Football Life (2016)

I think it's a pill addiction or suicide myself.

I really hope you are wrong...
Saddens me to think that if he was suffering a neurological sickness that it would have come to that..

I just go by trends of deaths to high impact players. For example we all remember Junior Seau and how he died. Tight end Aaron Hernandez lost his mind and hung himself in prison, other get hooked on pain killers, etc.

58 is kinda young for Kevin Green to go. I have to think it was something other then natural death causes.. It's the detective in me.. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/22/s...eene-dead.html

I hear ya...
Its more probable than not..
I'll never forget the interview ESPN did on John Mackey years ago...
Brought me to tears..
The mans brain was totally gone..
NFL had completely turned their back on him and his family...

Yup..

CTE is real especially for the hard hitting linebackers. Remember Junior Seau?

No cause of death yet definitely screams suicide. Sadly, you can’t just lie and say natural death without a future “gothca” catching you in a lie.
