I know, broncos fans are few and far between here, but jeez. A hit throughout the NFL right here...

News showed the Hummer this evening and it was one of those that is super stretched to about the length of a Bus. So it is totally random that one of the bullets killed him and not just wounding him, also no idea how many other than the three hit were in the back of that stretch hummer.

BTW he was from Ft Worth so I don't know if services for him will be in Denver or Ft Worth, if in Ft Worth it may be an event to cover.

if it is in ft worth, i will hopefully try and go...

He was a local from Fort Worth. Graduated from high school here.

He kept a 3.5 at OK State and graduated. Had a 7 year old son and a 4 year old daughter.

The news reports are barren of any information about why the shooting might have happenned. From what I've heard, it might have been totally random. But there is no way to know. More and more it's looking like nightclubs and pro athletes don't mix very well. I remember the good old days when Charles Barkley would throw a guy through a window, or even back to when Joe Namath almost got suspended because Pete Rozelle didn't like him having a part interest in a bar that gamblers and other undesirables frequented.

It's not just pro athletes. If he'd been a regular nobody, he'd still be dead, you just wouldn't hear about it. Moral is: Stay away from bars at 2:00 AM.

As a OSU fan and former student, this is sad news to hear.

I saw this on the local news, he was a stand out at OSU for the football program. It's strange because we just saw him on TV yesterday playing vs. the 49ers.

looks like there's a tentative saturday service in fort worth.

[David]

The funeral will be at 12noon on Saturday at Great Commission Baptist Church, 7700 McCart Avenue in FW.
