I'm fairly certain that a few posters here, that are no longer posting has already done this.

He was not even in real bad debt

Strange

[ProfaneReality]

senseless...

Strange

I have no doubt the Goldman can attest to that

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

dude was a mess

[dfberger23]

He definitely did not kill himself over gambling debts. His gambling debts were just a sign of the mental trouble he was in.

sad to hear. how do outstanding markers in vegas work. do they try to muscle you with threats or is it just a bill collector -judicial system thing. anyone know

[nosniboR11]

not a bill collector by any means, they have diff laws and when you dont pay its like not paying your taxes

[Tree Rollins]

That Tom Brandstater is one hell of a good guy. I hope he get's the rest of whatever is owed to him.

[GiveMeaBJ]

Makes you wonder how much Brock Landers lost.

[brxbmbers42]

i know you can go to jail for it. but wasnt sure if they threaten to break a limb like owing your bookie

[Grits n' Gravy]

non payment of casino markers is treated like bouncing a check in vegas. the d.a. will prosecute if casino files claim with them.

brock couldn't get credit at a live casino, so he's safe.

Maybe it wasn't suicide. Someone could've put a slug in Mckinley and made it look like suicide.

[Lincoln73]

Should have faded some rubberband plays.

[Dirty Sanchez]

"I'm fairly certain that a few posters here, that are no longer posting has already done this" Really? Do you have any proof of that? You can't believe 90% of the drama and stories on SBR because those who put it out there are just looking for attention

No shit read the entire article...obviously he committed suicide for a combination of reasons.

[chico2663]

i feel sorry for him

[forloveofthegame]

wow sad to hear. just in that article you could see that stuff rolled down hill for him fast

[Fishhead]

Terrible gambler........I can attest to this firsthand.

Living way over what he earned. Second knee operation put a question mark on his future career.

[Otters27]

Terrible story. Feel sorry for his family.

[purecarnagge]

that QB is a friggen hero. That's a friend. you know in his head he probabally thought...i need to sell someone within the organization about this...but he was too scared to cause drama/get cut/get his buddy cut. (although I think he was already on his way to being cut after 2 knee injuries).

Kinda of scary

[BestPlay2day]

Gambling debt was only a small portion of his problem. Knocking up a girl and maybe another one would be more depressing as well as being broke with a bad knee. Hate to read stories like this.

[crazyfied]

that's horrible. people need to grasp a little reality and put their priorities in order

[Muddy]

I would like to think that I wouldn't be a reckless gambler if I made $310,000 a year. Maybe I'm naive. Just don't get how these guys do it.

[tanner40]

Can't believe a backup QB (now PS QB) would lend someone 65k. Unreal

[walshy83]

Jesus, how terrible. From what I heard/read he was a pretty legit guy.

[jwbama23]

very sad story, there is a poster on SBR that claims to have been good friends with him. I hate to hear someones name run through the mud after they have passed and they cant even defend themselves.

[big0mar]

Wheres Brock?

[DblDeuce]

Denver is 3-8 AYS, no wonder.

[GunShard]

Yea, I heard this story.

[thezbar]

Life in the fast lane was too much for this guy. Sad ending.

[Mr. Peepers]

sooo sad...this could have been avoided
