Greg, I'm not. You must not be a realist either.

Mike must be a KC fan

It will be a long time before we see a player with the personal drive and integrity of a Rod Smith. His exemplary performance both on and off the field is something players should strive to achieve.

In case you haven't noticed the Bronco's have sucked for a long time. I was forced to face this fact a long time ago. I will never give up though.

Kevin, the Broncos have a better chance of catching smallpox than making it to the Super Bowl. Rod does have class. Shame the rest of the team/organization couldn't learn from that.

We the Broncos fans knew that he would either be retiring or playing, but he did play great and will be missed by the fans and team mates, now is the time for the Broncos to step up and fight to the super bowl

Rod Smith is a "Class Act"; the excitement he brought to the games, the values he has for being a role model to our youth, he brought style and pride to the Bronco's football team! Thanks for the many memories and best wishes to you and your family!

Rod Smith is a class act that all of our "troubled" Colorado professional athletes should follow...All the best to Mr. Rod Smith!

Truly the class of the organization, maybe Brandon Marshall can grow up and have 1/2 the class as Rod. He will be missed.....hopefully the Hall of Fame will remember him, I know the Ring of Fame will!!

  • Posted By: Kenna: You make it sound like this happened last night or even within a month!! Truth is Im the bartender @ Porkys and I never gave anyone under 21 a beer!!!!
  • Posted By: Phil Duhon: Good reporting, but a little misleading. Porky's was stung in July, the video posted was from July and drastic measures have been taken since and before then to stop underage drinking. A bar or a club have nothing to gain from selling to a minor. I am not disputing this report, but the way it was presented is a little shady. I noticed you used Oscar's as well but failed to report that the sting was un-successful.
  • Posted By: ID everyone: wow! This is really scary.
