pointyfootball Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 http://www.macon.com/mld/macon/16059523.htmHe killed himself yesterday. Could possibly be the worst day in Philly sports history. It didn't say anything about suicide - is that true? Terribly sad. I didn't know he was from Belle Glade, FL. At one time it was one of the poorest areas in the country with the highest HIV-rate as well. He was a dirty sob, but he definitely played with heart.

roqnap1 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Don't get me wrong...I couldn't stand him as a player. But I am truly saddened by this news. At no point in anyone's life should they feel so low to even THINK about offing themselves. It saddens me that this happens to anyone. RIP Mr. Waters.

ArmchairRedskin Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yeah, one of my most hated players. A dirty SOB on the field. Still, though, you really hate to hear this kind of news. May peace be with you, Mr. Watters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAFGA Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I was pretty surprised to see this one scroll across the bottom of the sports ticker. First thing I thought of was that he was a dirty playing bastid. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 He was as dirty a player as they come. He was fined numerous times by the league for dirty play and is well known for trying to take Rich Gannon out by intentionally going for his knees.

RiggoReincarnated Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Andre "Dirty" Waters. I haven't heard that name in a long time. Was he a part of the infamous "Body Bag" game at the Vet?R.I.P. Yeah he was...he was a member of those fearsome Philly defenses in the early 90s.

PiLfan Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 A very touching tribute by Phil Sheridan of the Philadelphia Inquirer: There was real pain in Andre Waters' voice. This was April. Waters was on his cell phone, driving a carload of at-risk teenagers to a barbershop and then on to a barbecue place. He was working with court-adjudicated youths, but still trying desperately to get back into the one business he knew best. "I love the kids, I really do," the former Eagles safety said that day, just six months before he apparently took his own life. "But football, that's where I believe I have the most to offer. I just can't get a chance." Waters, 44, died early yesterday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He took with him the answer to the only question - Why, Andre, why? - worth asking. He may have given at least part of an answer in that nearly three-hour phone conversation in April. click below for full article: http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/sports/16062892.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 RIP My thoughts and prayers go out to his family the Eagle's organization and the eagle fans. That really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
