Antonio Smith's father passed away

[cdumler7]

Seems like this week has not been the best news week for the Broncos. This is the biggest but bus wreck thankfully where nobody was hurt, Murphy being sent home after a prostitution bust, and now Smith's dad passed away. He said he is staying and playing in the Super Bowl but definitely something that will be weighing on him. For some players it gives them an extra boost and others the stress gets to them.

I am glad we have a team that has shown that they can handle pressure especially when things are not quite going like they need them to go.

Definitely prayers and well wishes to him and his family and they deal with this. Been a tough year for that guy.

Condolences to Antonio...........losing a parent leaves one with a huge hole in their life. One that can never be filled.

So sorry for the Smith family. A week that should be a family celebration becomes a time of mourning. Blessings on them.

Didn`t realize his Dad has been in prison for last twenty yrs either. Only 55 yrs old. Heart complications.

Losing your Dad is one of the most devastating things that a person must endure

All the best to the Smith family

Sad news for Antonio and family. That is a tough thing to deal with at any time in one's life, but the timing of this has got to have his world spinning. I hope he has a good support system.

That's what I'd get my dad - not to put too fine a point on it.

Agree crash. If I'm Antonio, I'm thinking "you'll be trying to stop two men in one body today buddy. Me and my Father."
