Your playing long odds in a scenario where a 36 year old with lots of money starts dating a 20 year old with no money works out well.
EDIT: this will probably evolve into something similar to MJ's death (albeit a smaller scale) Some people see the artist and performer and simply focus on that, some people look at how he chose to live his life and turn it into a train wreck for the second half ... and the 2 groups don't understand each other at all.
Here, some will see the athlete, one of the best football players in his time, played through injuries, the best double threat QB for about a decade and played for the same team for a long time and won't get past that. And some will see someone who made some dumb decisions (again assuming that was his gf and this was a murder & suicide) and forget about the football.

Ya rich guys in their 30's never date 20 year olds, and when they do there's a good chance they wind up dead.
Do you have any idea how extraordinarily ridiculous that statement is?
Where's the dumb decision in dating someone younger than you? Sure it's probably not a great decision if you're looking for long term stability, but to imply that it increases your chances of being murdered is absurd. There are hundreds of thousands of relationships with age gaps of 15+ years, and shockingly many of them have to do with rich guys and younger women. You're trying to tell me that people in those relationships are more predisposed to being murdered? That's quite the claim.
As for your moral high ground, I'm not sure if you have some sort of 'sanctity of marriage' stance or what, but I don't really see how an affair turns you into someone whose death is any less sad. That's assuming this was even an affair within an intact marriage, there's every possibility that the marriage relationship was all but over. It doesn't exactly seem like there was much in the way of sneaking around going on here.
