but man the NFL can't catch a break off the field
Guy was a top kicker

his stats prove it and yet he was at 36 out of a job. Had a cpl recent tryouts. Maybe the NFL knew something about his mental state?
He was unemployed because he kept driving them off to the right.

Really strange, I wonder if he had a reaction to sleeping pills?

On Saturday evening, Rachel Bradshaw called police to report that her husband was missing.

In her statement to police, Bradshaw said she was at home with Bironas and a friend Saturday evening watching a movie when Bironas told her "goodnight" around 10:30 p.m. She assumed he was going to bed.

She told police she went to check on Bironas, but he was not in the house. After phoning him several times without an answer, she called relatives, who had not been in contact with him. So she called police.

Bradshaw told police there was no argument before Bironas left the residence. She said it was "highly unusual behavior for him to leave without telling her." She told police he was not intoxicated, but that he drank a beer earlier in the evening.

but the sleeping pill theory is a good one. Ambien is a crazy crazy drug.

I had a scrip for it once for help sleeping through pain (painkillers are a no no for me)

and I took one pill one night and much craziness occurred luckily my wife locked me in the house.

That shit is scary.

That is scary. I never have taken any myself but I remember something in the news about it awhile back. I think maybe it was a celebrity fighting a DUI charge with that being their defense.
When i got my DUI

as part of the plea you hav eto go to a 2 day class it is instead of spending 2 days in jail...

In the class there were 5 or 6 people in there for taking Ambien thinking they went to bed and then waking up behind the wheel either crashed or pulled over...

One guy took it went upstairs thought he went to bed woke up a block from his crashed into a telephone pole...

The teacher of the class told us a story of women taking the pill before she went to sleep...she finally came to in front of her class not knowing how she even got there...

It is very scary and they say it happens a lot with the time release capsuls...
yep

Ambien is definitely crazy. I took it a few times after back surgery and the good times followed. I lost my wedding ring one night as a result only to find it a few days later under the bathroom rug. I must have woke up in middle of night and donned the ring, and then humped the shit out of my bathroom rug/floor...maybe? That's my theory...glad I found the ring. Stopped taking Ambien.
Great pill

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't turn out to be the cause. Makes more sense than anything else.
