article and have no idea what happened except that he died -- which is how they want it to be.

On a lighter note, Doug Martin had one of the more memorable/unique nicknames in recent NFL history. I am not sure he liked it all that much, I saw one article which quoted him as saying he "couldn't shake it" which sounds perhaps disapproving/annoyed, but it was given to him by his college teammates at Boise State and once the NFL media gets their claws into something like that they continue to run with it long after it is dead and buried. Anyway, RIP "Muscle Hamster."
