    From the reading it looks like SIDS. :(

    TAMPA, Fla., -- The infant son of Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant died Wednesday morning, coach Jon Gruden said.

    Matthew Tryson Bryant apparently died in his sleep, Gruden said. The coach said he did not know any further details. Gruden said the child was about 6 months old.

    "We're shocked and very saddened by this," Gruden said.

    Gruden said he was unsure if Bryant will play in Sunday's game against Green Bay, and that the situation would be addressed later in the week.

    "The entire Buccaneer family is deeply saddened by this tragedy. The Bryants have been an inspiration to our entire community through their commitment to their family and their exhaustive efforts working with children and those in need in the Bay area," Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt and Melissa during this difficult time.''

    Didn't Joe Jurevicius go through the same thing 6 years ago? Terrible.

    Gawd damn.

    As a parent, this is the nightmare that is always lurking in the back of your mind if you have an infant.

    Freakin SIDS.

    Nobody deserves that. Nobody.

    Lamar Odom did, too.

    What a horrible thing to happen. I feel for his family. :(
