As a Charger fan and a fan of football, Terrence Kiel was part of the charger communtiy long enough for me to follow him as a player. And to hear of something like this, is just terrible. Plus not to mention Such a misdemeanor charge he was held from the NFL. Not to bring any other player down but there is many other players that have done far worse and are able to still play in the NFL. And im not goin to name anyone. But R.I.P Terrence

I feel bad for the kid because from what I understand that whole incident was the fault of one of his Hanger On's who used Kiel's credit card etc...so it all traced back to Kiel. I heard he was on his way back to the league maybe with Tampa and a couple of others.

The fact is all this probably wouldn't have come down if his hanger on didn't screw him over...

Note to Pro Athletes...cut your baggage...if they can't make their own way chances are they're losers and at some point they are gonna bring you down.

RIP Kiel...should've never went down like this....

Oh, how this news deeply saddens us. Words cannot express how shocked & hurt we are over loosing you, my friend ... & of all days, why again, on the fourth of July? Oh why?

My son, William, is devastated ... I know he'll continue to play semi-pro ball wearing your number all the more proudly just as he did when he first began to follow your career years ago. You were a great mentor ... he loves ya, man ... we all do!

My family has great memories enjoying watching you play, & hanging with you off the field. We were really looking forward to seeing you happy & playing again, TK ... we would have followed you anywhere!

“WE LOVE YOU, TK!” it's what I always yelled at you when you were on the field & off ... it's what I'll keep saying in my heart each time I pray for you & your family.

Your humble spirit & gorgeous bright smile always touched our hearts ... forever you’ll be in our hearts & remembered as a most humbled, kind & gentle spoken man. Thank you for all you gave of yourself ... to us & to others!

We'll treasure your memory & look to the day we meet again! Oh, how we will forever miss you, TK!
