Yikes. Second Broncos player dead this offseason.

Is that a record? :shrug:

Wow, that really sucks. :(

Thats a buzz kill. Way too young to die. I really feel for his family.:(

I saw this today. Man what a shame. Seemed like a great guy in the community and so on. At the risk of sounding like an asshole, why does Pac Man Jones go out and start a fight in a Vegas strip club that ends up with a bouncer getting shot in the spine, but live to tell about it, meanwhile Darent Williams goes out to a bar on NYE, gets in a little scuffle and gets shot execution style?

Meanwhile, we've got person after person in the NFL who doesn't give a shit about charity and so forth, and this guy's the one who dies, at a charity event, no less.


lame

Meanwhile, Rick Telander had a pretty damn good column (http://www.suntimes.com/sports/telander/index.html) today.

For the first time in my writing career, I see learned, thoughtful, civicly aware African-American sportswriters saying that this behavior -- even if it stems from the historic seeds of poverty and injustice and racism -- is appalling and enough.

Excuses be damned, the writers are saying, a la Bill Cosby. It is wrong. And it is cutting the soul from our people.

That was a damn good article
Yeah, too bad for him he wrote that in February. He's filled his one good column a year quota. Now it's on to Northwestern football for him.
