Rob Bironas

36 is just way too young to go. Very sad.

Former Titans kicker Rob Bironas was killed in an overnight car crash in Nashville.
He was 36.
According to Metro police, Bironas was involved in a single-vehicle crash in the 800 block of Battery Lane around 11 p.m. Saturday.
Bironas lost control of the SUV he was driving while traveling at a high rate of speed, and the vehicle went off the road and hit several trees before ending up in a drainage culvert, upside down.
Bironas was transported Vanderbilt Medical Center, and pronounced dead on arrival.
Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron said Bironas had turned on Battery Lane from Franklin Pike, and appeared to be headed home, not too far from where the crash occurred.
Aaron said there was no evidence of alcohol on the scene.

He just got married 3 months ago to Terry Bradshaw's daughter. Agree, way to young.

High rate of speed, wondering what the vehicle looked like.

Story is getting weird. Double life, was he on Ambien, or is the misses lying about what happened just prior to bed time?

That is more like Ambien mixed with bath salts. Obviously a lot more to the story...

Still surprises me that drugs like Ambien are legally sold based on the stories I've heard from people who have taken it.

My sister has some pretty crazy stories that have happened to her when she's taken Ambien.

My BIL used to act all weird on it, but I think most of that was due to his alcohol intake on those nights prior to taking it. The (few) times I've taken it, it just helped me sleep, though it did crank up the weird dream machine to max power.
