Cory Lidle killed in crash

Unbelievable ...

One moment I'm in our office teasing my cohorts for crowding around the TV to see the CNN coverage of a plane crash in Manhattan. The obvious question on everyone's mind centers on terrorism, and I'm cracking jokes about CNN's tendency to blow small stories out of proportion with non-stop, repetitive coverage ...

The next moment I'm home and trying to catch a little bit of Sportscenter and the nightly news before going to the gym. Officials were now saying Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was killed in the crash. Suddenly I was the one who couldn't pull myself from the TV ...

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved ...
