Bobby Hammond awoke early on the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011, to find nikechargersnflshop.com his cell phone buzzing with the missed call of old friend and FC Dallas color commentator Steve Jolley.
Hammond, the longtime team administrator for the Dallas Burn and FC Dallas who was one of the franchise’s first hires back in 1995, immediately suspected that Jolley had dialed him by accident. There was no pressing issue so early that morning, considering the team was just returning from a bye week and Jolley was home in Philadelphia with his family.
Still, Hammond returned the call. When Jolley failed to answer, Hammond went about his day and began the trek from his house in Plano to the team’s offices in Frisco, a roughly 20-minute drive past golf courses and shopping centers and through the sprawling suburbs of northern Dallas.
Around 7:30 am his phone rang, with Jolley on the end once again, and Hammond picked up.
He was heading north on Independence Rd., he remembers that. He was about 10 minutes away from the stadium. Not long after the conversation began, Hammond forced his car to the shoulder of the road, the only thing he could think to do to absorb the news that by mid-morning trickled into every locker nikechargersnflshop.com/WOMENS-RYAN-MATHEWS-JERSEY.html room and board room in Major League Soccer.
Hammond’s good friend and longtime Dallas player Bobby Rhine had suffered an apparent heart attack the night before while on Kids Ryan Mathews Jersey vacation with his family in Florida. And inexplicably, somewhere far away from his home in Dallas, Bobby Rhine was dead. He was 35 years old.
