His efforts and dedication to the Light of Life was unparalleled, and his desire to always help others made everyone appreciate him, he was loved by his family, teammates, and friends. We were fortunate to have Tunch as a player and broadcaster for so many years. Our condolences to his entire family during this difficult time.

His passion for the game of football was evident in his everyday life, as a player, he fought his way through tough times of being cut and injured but continued to make an impact as a leader of our offensive line and made two Pro Bowls.

After his playing career, Tunch continued to make an impact in our community in so many ways, his efforts and dedication to to the Light of Life( Rescue Mission) was unparalleled, and his desire to always help others made everyone appreciate him.

I am very certain nothing like this ever happened, i have no idea why James would make a comment like this but there is simply no basis for believing anything like this.
