Two ex-NFL players killed in Los Angeles car crash  

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Two former National Football League players were killed on Thursday when their speeding car slammed into an empty bus, possibly as they were racing another vehicle on a Los Angeles street, police said.

Police declined to release the names of the men but local media identified the passenger as 29-year-old     Darrell Russell, a former defensive tackle with the Oakland Raiders, Washington Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Authorities said the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix struck a curb around 6 a.m. local time, clipped a fire hydrant and smashed into the bus, which was not in service.

Firefighters worked for more than 20 minutes to pry the men from the car before taking them to local hospitals, where they were pronounced dead.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
