Selfishly, my first thought was, “Damn, this sucks.” Let’s be honest - we never got the full DeJean experience. Sports can be cruel, and this falls in that category. What we had was cut short by a freak occurrence and /snaps fingers just like that, it was over. That is cruel to fans, cruel to DeJean’s teammates, and especially cruel to DeJean.
