As many Tyrann Mathieu fans as there are among Arizona Cardinals fans, this was something I had to get on the site. He recently lost his grandmother, with whom he was extremely close. He took to Twitter on Tuesday to share exactly what type of person she was.
Hopefully we all have or have had a person with this sort of impact in our lives. We are saddened by Mathieu's loss.
Life ain't fair...
