I was watching the game with my wife (a huge broncos fan) and we were pointing out his play, and talking about him a lot. My wife told me he was shot this morning and I was in disbelief.

My initial reaction was it was because they lost the game and a ticket to the playoffs. But after reading that article and saying he hung out with the wrong crowd when he was younger, I am not sure.
I hope there isn't some crazy fan executing players because his team lost.
