Former Vikings safety Orlando Thomas passed away this morning from ALS. He was only 37, same age as Gehrig was when he passed from this I believe.

Wow! RIP. Unexpecteded indeed.
Thats to bad, I think he even lead the league in INT's one year, may have been 98'. He was a good player, hard to believe that the Vikes only have one player left since 01'.
ALS is not a good thing. I have seen a couple people pass on from it.
RIP
I guess he didnt die according to Jake Reed Jake Reed (JakeReed86) on Twitter
That's freaking terrible.... I loved watching him play....

Good news, he's still alive. Still, a very tough disease to deal with.
