    I’m sorry to hear about this but boohoo.

    BUT, I’m more upset about the incredibly mistakes in the article. It says he is a basketball player, and used to instead of too. What else? I’m just sick of all the typos in things like this where professionals are supposed to be writing them. Yikes.
