Dominic Raiola will miss the pregame hand shake. Before every Lions game, director of security Ricky Sandoval came over, shook his hand and gave him words of encouragement. On Thursday, Sandoval died after a three-year fight with pancreatic cancer at the age of 49. "He was really strong, and I looked forward to seeing him every day," Raiola said during a phone interview from Hawaii. "I don't think anybody knew how bad things were for him because he was so strong. "When things get hard on the field you think about a guy like that going through when he went through. But when you think about a guy going through that, what we do (as players) isn't really that hard."
