Holy . I thought this was a joke thread or something until I opened up ESPN.

RIP Darrent
So talented... You hate to hear of anything like this.
Good God...Never wanna hear this. Condolences to his family and hope this doesn't affect them or the Broncos badly. Get well soon, Darrent Williams family.
I'd like to congratulate ESPN for proving me wrong about their news judgment in a situation like this.
What's that? Skip Bayless is talking about playoff matchups...
Oh...
Broncos' Williams Killed in Drive-By Shooting
Incident Happens Just Hours After Team Eliminated
By ARNIE STAPLETON
AP
DENVER (Jan. 1) - Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting early Monday, his limousine sprayed with bullets in downtown Denver.
Team spokesman Jim Saccomano said police called him about 3 a.m. from the scene and told him three people had been shot, and the 24-year-old Williams had been killed. The killing came hours after the Broncos were eliminated from the playoff race.
A little after 2 a.m., a white Hummer limousine was fired on from a vehicle that pulled up along its side, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. There were at least eight bullet holes in the limo.
Three people in the limo were hit and were taken to hospitals, where one man was pronounced dead, Jackson said. The other man and woman who were shot were not identified.
Jackson said police were searching for suspects and interviewing witnesses.
"We have no motive yet," Jackson said. "We're hoping to talk with witnesses to find out where they were coming from, and that might give us some clues."
Saccomano said he spoke with coach Mike Shanahan and others in the organization. Hours earlier, the Broncos lost to San Francisco 26-23 in overtime.
"Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away. A terrible tragedy," Saccomano said.
Pro Bowl player Champ Bailey was among the players and team staff members who gathered at Denver Health Medical Center, where Williams' body was taken.
"He had a big heart and a lot of courage," said Cedric Smith, assistant strength and conditioning coach. "It's a tragedy, a complete tragedy. It's sickening."
Williams teamed with Bailey to give Denver one of the top cornerback tandems in the NFL. Williams finished the season with 88 tackles, 78 of them solo, and four interceptions.
Players and coaches are off Monday. They were scheduled to meet Tuesday before heading home for the offseason.
On Sunday against the 49ers , Williams had three tackles and returned two punts for 50 yards before leaving the game with a shoulder injury late in the second half. After the game he said he was planning to wait a few weeks before determining if he needed an operation.
In December, Williams spoke of his desire to return to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, this offseason to talk to kids about staying out of gangs.
Williams, a second-round draft pick out of Oklahoma State in 2005, made an immediate impact on the Broncos. He started nine times in his rookie season following a stellar college career.

Damnnnnnnnn. Darrent Williams was just gettin better and better too. R.I.P
poor guy, pretty good player,and after playing a game too. i hate to hear news like this, and on new years day. best of wishes to the broncos organization and the williams family.
Such tragic news. I hope they catch these idiot's who did this and make sure they spends the rest of there ing life behind bars!
Darrent was such a promising player, learning how to be a CB from the best in the league. He struggled at times this year, but the potential was there. My heart goes out to Williams family and to all his friends. Very, very sad they have to start off the New Year like this.
R.I.P. Darrent
its bad luck when the 9ers and Broncos play. last time they met, someone else died after their game from a heart attack
wow thats really sad..... just yesterday he was playing on the team and today hes gone.....
RIP

Wow that's horrible. RIP. Condolences to his family.
Supposedly Javon Walker was in the limo too.
Is there word yet whether the other two people shot will be alright?
Damn, that sucks. Seemed like a good kid and was going to be a good one
they will be alright but i dont think Javon was in the limo either
Two team sources say he was, according to ESPN, but who knows.
R.i.p
Word from Adam Schefter is that Bronco Cornderback Derrent Williams was murdered after attending a New Year's Eve party hosted by Carmelo Anthony. Schefter said that Williams got into an argument with "gang bangers" at Melo's party who followed his limo and shot and killed Williams.
Another quiet night at Melo's. More details to come, but if these are friends of Melo's, it will be another ugly black mark on Melo's star-crossed career.
^^^ thats from a Nuggets forum im part of.
Who is Adam Schefter?
NFL analyst with the NFL network.
Interesting.
As a diehard Broncos fan, I'm just in shock right now. The latest rumors are that Darrent Williams, Javon Walker, and Brandon Marshall were leaving Melo's party when the gang came by and opened fire. Williams supposedly died right on Javon's lap. What a horrible situation.
