SonnyRules Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 ***DISCLAIMER - THIS IS AN INTERNET HOAX*** http://www.iiffl.net/nflnews/ap/news_slug=citadel-2_353743_11&prov=citadel&type=story.html Sources: Colts kicker Vanderjagt attempts life By CLIFF BRUNT, Associated Press Writer January 17, 2006 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt attempted to take his own life yesterday at his Indianapolis home. Carmel 911 received a frantic call from Janalyn Vanderjagt at about 4:35 Monday evening. Apparently, Janalyn had just arrived home along with the couples son Jay Michael. Janalyn found her husband Mike attempting to hang himself in the couples bedroom. Janalyn tried to persuade Mike to rethink what he was about to do. Mike repeatedly attempted to kick the chair out from under him but was unsuccessful. That's when Janalyn called 911. Police along with fire and rescue were dispatched to the suburban Indianapolis home. Rescue personnel were able to talk Vanderjagt down after about 10 minutes. Vanderjagt remained in an area hospital today in stable condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fuzz Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 That has to be a joke right? He couldn't kick the chair out from under him? He missed the field goal...he's a kicker..he couldn't kick the chair out...has to be a joke, albeit in bad taste. I hope it is a joke otherwise it's just really sad news to read.
