Thread: Demaryius Thomas' mother might finally see him play

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Demaryius Thomas is trying to get his mother to Denver so she can see him play football for the first time.

Katina Smith was released from federal prison last summer when President Barack Obama commuted her sentence on drug trafficking charges. It was part of the president's push to reduce the prison population of non-violent offenders.

Smith went to a halfway house in Georgia and was restricted from traveling until now.

Thomas said he hopes she can see him play when the Broncos (12-4) host the Pittsburgh Steelers (11-6) on Sunday.

He said the reunion ''would mean a lot. This would be her first game. I'll be excited. She'll be excited.''

Smith and her mother were arrested when Thomas was 11 years old.

Hope he catches the damn ball this weekend.

I hope it happens for him. I also hope she watches a huge play from him like the Tebow to Thomas masterpiece.

I have to give DT extra props because I was so hard on him earlier in the season...;-)

I thought this was already a story earlier this season.

I'm a selfish, jaded, cynical curmudgeon who wants him to have zero distractions - so maybe she can wait to see him play in the preseason next year.

It's a story again now because her travel restrictions have been lifted and this is the first time she can see him in person.

This could either be a really good thing or a really bad thing. Here's to hoping DT plays lights out in front of his momma!

Seems people play outstanding in situations like this. I find this to be and "incentive" much more than a distraction.

Normally I'd agree, but we're talking about Droppy McDropperson here.

Yeah... I liked the way he played in our last game. The last game was the first time I've seen him play similar to what we saw from him in the Super Bowl. I'm hoping he keeps that, because I've been waiting to see that Super Bowl fire from him, and just haven't.

Thanks Obama
