    Default Sad news!!!! (April Fools Joke)

    EDIT by Tned: Jr just confirmed that this was a sick joke that he and RC played on the rest of us. To the best of my knowledge, no one else on the mod team knew about it. RC has been banned (mods will determine length, I unilaterally banned him), they will also decide if any other action needs to be taken.

    Sorry for the distress this caused people. It was classless and wrong, IMO.



    I don't know how to start, or what to say, so I'll just copy/paste an email I received.

    I was on a layover in Detroit when I got the word from my mother. I'm currently at the Airport on my way home, to make arrangements. I know how close you to have become when he found out that we are distant relatives on my mothers side.

    Could you let his friend on the forum know what has happened.

    Thanks for being his bronco buddy, Esther
    RIP JR!

    Our JR Rc? Seriously?

    Please tell me this isn't so. If so, we just lost one hell of a Bronco fan. He and his family will be in my thoughts. Man, I'd like to say more about him as I have posted with him for quite a few years going back to our former home. I'm going to miss him. This sucks. I'm speechless at this point.

    Probably a combination of shock and hope that this is a bad joke.

    No shit?

    Is there any way someone can confirm this somehow, because this isn't a funny April Fools joke. When was his last login time? Anyone know how old he was?

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    This seems fishy to me. If someone's husband just died, I doubt her first reaction would be to email a guy she barely knows. And I doubt the signature would say "thanks for being his bronco buddy". I'm calling BS on this one.

    His last message was at 1:35 today with the new "Denver constructed to win a SuperBowl" thread.

    This is shit. If this is an April Fools joke I'm going off on JR or whomever started it.

    You would be amazed at the thought process of loved ones when their soulmate dies. My father passed away and the first people my mom called to tell was some friends he hasn't seen in over 30 years. She just couldn't think rationally.

    not sure what to say. . . if this is true, it's ****ing tragic news-- i would REALLY like to think that RC's taste isn't that poor, but in this case i'm forced to hope that it is. . .


    RC, it's april 1st-- you need to either confirm this, or take it down!
    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
    - John Elway
