It's up on sportsline.com and it was just talked about it during the draft. Tough for the Cards, who lost Darryl Kile a few years back.

From ESPN (sports.espn.go.com)

Tonight's game with Chicago (would have been the national game on ESPN) has been postponed. The Cardinals are supposed to release a statement around 3pm Central today.

Sadly, he wasn't sober at the time of the accident. Police also found marijuana in the vehicle. ESPN's Coverage is here , though it appears to be an AP story. Still a sad loss, but it now becomes a cautionary tale.

Make that marijuana and a glass pipe. Tony LaRussa came out to say that on the two days before the accident, he'd gone out of his way to have heart-to-heart talks with Hancock. So clearly, something bad was going on and he had little control over the demons in his life. Sad. But in a month's time, few casual fans will recall this as Hancock wasn't a star. It's a shame, because stuff like this should serve a purpose to bring attention to others in need of the same help that Hancock was refusing. Ah well.
