Football Player

The Resume

    (August 19, 1968-September 30, 2004)
    Born in West Seneca, Buffalo, New York
    Offensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers (1990–1999)
    Died in a police car chase through Herkimer, New York (age 36)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was the 293rd pick in the 11th round of the 1990 NFL draft.
    He earned the nickname ‘Jugs’ for a haircut that resembled the Jughead character of Archie Comics.
    He traveled some three miles on the wrong side of the road before colliding head-on with a westbound tanker truck carrying corrosive acid. He was cast 80 yards clear of the truck, which exploded almost on impact.
    He was inclined to puke and spit on himself in a huddle, sometimes to throw off the opposition’s defense.
    A knee injury against the Kansas City Chiefs ended his 1998 season in surgery. The same knee was injured the following year in training camp, leaving him on injured reserve.
    The autopsy revealed brain damage, attributed to his football career, but – despite being a marijuana smoker – no substances.

Why he might not be annoying:

    A football player with a banjo and a motorcycle — how neat.
    His parents divorced when he was 7.
    His father died after being paralyzed in a car accident (1998).
    He never missed a game until 1997.
    State troopers used a line of metal spikes to sabotage his pickup truck’s tires.
    One truck driver assisted state police by forcing the fleeing truck into a westbound lane.
    The driver of the tanker suffered almost no damage.
    He left behind two children: Justin Jr., then 10, and Sabrina, then 8.
