Thank you for this segment. Lifetime Bronco fan here, having a sad day. Just so unbelievable. This piece was very nice and made me and many others smile.
From a Cowboys Fan , I’m so sorry for your loss , May DT Rest In Peace ! ☮️
Yeah still hard to accept he's gone forever this early😭, will always be remembered & honored in Colorado.♥️
From NYG rip to your boy. Terrible man.
@@abelpolanco Amen, thank you brother.
@@555125kevin no doubt friend.
The life he lived, the character he became along with his achievements are inspiring, gone too soon.
It's remarkable that he had the spirit he had despite his early life. Most people with that background would have been scarred for life.

@@JJ-vp3bd I've expressed my own suspicions that the needle contributed to his death. If his autopsy is never publicly released then it's a clear indicator.
As a lifelong Bronco fan, Demariyus Thomas will always be the WR that comes to mind when I think of my favorite team. So many great ones over the 53 years, but this young man was always a beacon of hope and sunshine. Then we think about his athletic achievements. GREAT segment Rich, thank you.
Easily one of the greats in Denver Broncos history, from a Raiders fan my condolences.
Denver loves him. I was 13 when we drafted him. He’s a literal hero here. No words.
No one does tributes quite like Rich Eisen.

Man DT... my heart aches 💔. This one hurts. Thank you for everything. You will truly be missed by Broncos Country. Forever a Bronco 🧡💙
If there is a heaven , and I believe there is, his beautiful soul will fit right in. Rest In peace DT
Back in the 80's, I read a novel where at the beginning of one of the chapters was a little quote. "You are, what you do, when it counts." In the almost 40 years since I first read that quote, I've tried to live by it. I've never seen anyone put it better. And listening to the story of Demaryius, it was the first thing that came to mind for me.
Such a sad situation. My prayers and condolences go out to his family and friends
Not a Bronco fan but DT was one of my favorite players. Always smiling & I saw a segment a long time ago about his mom getting out of prison & finally getting to see him play. I'm glad he got to rise above his childhood & have his mom get to watch him play in the NFL.
Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Demaryius Thomas.
I’ll be honest I’m not a Broncos fan, never have been. But even I will admit players like DT and Von Miller were true class acts. Truly he was a good and humble man even in a position others treat as permission to be hideous. Truly his passing at an example of how to be a real man instead of just great athlete is the greater loss. Rest In Peace you’ve truly earned it
My prayers are for Dt and his family and friends who were very much blessed to have such a great human being who touched us all with his love forever with football and as a much better man than an amazing athlete, may he rest in peace he has been called home to be with God rip 🙏❤.
Thank you for your reflection, Rich. RIP to a phenomenal soul and football player.
The facts and this speech breaking down DT is awesome. Way to do DT justice. We all miss you DT.
It's never too early or late to tell those you love how you feel about them.
Thank you Mr Eisen for your heartfelt tribute to Demaryius Thomas. It was truly shocking to learn of his death. As fans we climbed the heights with him all the way to Super Bowl 50 never anticipating this devastating loss when he still had so much life to live.
Thank you for sharing & caring about this extraordinarily talented man who also spent a great deal of his time caring for & about others. He will be sorely missed.
I'm a Colts fan and seeing Manning leave was such a blow to the team. I get its business. Watching Manning and Thomas together was awesome to see. I always wanted Manning to win more Superbowls even if it was with another team. I really believe that as much as Manning did those Superbowls wouldn't have happened without Thomas. RIP Demaryius, and my condolences to his family and friends.
Thanks Rich for this segment it hits home for some of us who live and lived that lifestyle him and his family have.
We lost our son in 2009 to an seizure that occured while he was asleep. This also happened to the son of the great Cowboy safety Charlie Waters. It is truly the most horrific gut punch ever to lose a child in any manner, but while they sleep and while they are so young. My son 24. RIP Mr Thomas.
Thanks Rich, this one hit hard as a Broncos fan.
This really put a damper in my day yesterday when I heard the news. I was so shocked and thought about it all day. Appreciate life, you never know when your going to go. 🙏
Truly very kind, compassionate, and respectful comments by Rich Eisen about DT's life circumstances and how much he overcame to be a great player and become a great person. A tragic loss to those of us in the Georgia Tech community...
I really respect how you explain things and show great empathy with the situation. Demariyus overcame so much and was such a great person.
What a football player RIP.
Heartbreaking tribute, Rich.
As a Eagles Fan This Was Shocking News To Read About RIP DT!
What an amazing young man a good man I watched him play for the Broncos him and Peyton were magic together! But what made him special was the man he became his good heart the way he gave back to others. God Bless you rest in peace I will always remember you forever!
This was an incredible segment by Rich Eisen! Bey Bey was an incredible player but an even better human being! He will be missed everyday! He was taken from us way to soon! May he Rest In Peace. Sending my prayers to his family. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤍💛💙🧡
The great ones always go first and I can never wrap my head around it and being a Steelers fan I remember that playoff game very well now looking back at it I'm glad it turned out the way it did he was awesome to watch
Tears flowing...loved you so much! 💗❣️💕🙏RIP dear man. You over came so much! A life well lived yet ended way too soon.
Rest in peace young man I really appreciate what you did for my Denver broncos but I really respect how you stood in there in life I'm not so sure I could have done it God took a good one
A soulful tribute, delivered with effortless integrity. My heart goes out to his family, friends, former teammates and the Mile High 'Massive'
Life can be awfully short. Make the most of it while ya can 💯
Respect for not putting your standard "hey, ya stayed til the end... thanks for that" at the end of this one. Classy move, guys.
👊🏻
grew up watching Demaryius and man this hurts so much
Awesome! Great segment!!! Thanks for the closure of a very sad event!!!
The football world lost a very good player and a great representation of the sport and overall a good human being all of us die hard football fans are saddened by this 😢 Rest in Paradise Demaryius Thomas
Powerful testimony of Demaryius Thomas 😌
I'm a Chiefs fan but man this is very hard to believe has happened.
DT58 just wrecked his truck to go watch a game; it's instantaneous..
I'm a Broncos fan and I remember how stunning Derrick Thomas' injury and death was... Both of them were 33. Just incomprehensible.
@@GrassValleyGreg the opening kickoff was a really good tribute to him though. Impressed.
@@pretzelhunt Yes, it was cool that the Lions participated in that. Mad respect for DT.
Thank you Rich. I always enjoyed watching DT. I learned a bit about his through his charitable work. However I didn’t know the the back story that you shared. So sad to see him go.
Thank you for your personal tribute to this young man.
Such a beautiful tribute, for a beautiful soul watching over us now. So sad.
Thank you for reminding us of just what a special player and person DT was
RIP DT. You shown brief but bright here in Broncos country. You will forever be part of our story.
Thank you for being doing this segment. I love the Rich Eisen Show it really is the intellegent show amongst men yelling at each other. Your a philosopher at heart and really make it show. DT was literally the workhorse for everyone such a warrior. RIP DT. HOF.
Thanks for this, Rich. Too many people just throwing out basic "he will be missed... now onto the next topic" nonsense today. So disrespectful.
Well said Rich. Peace and Love. 🧡💙
Things that make no sense. So sad. No words. Rich, thank you man.
Not a broncos fan, but I remember him being a consistent & reliable big play guy. I completely forgot about his mom seeing him play for the first time. Thank you Rich for reminding me of that. I now remember how happy they both looked even though I didn't understand the whole situation.
Thanks for doing this Rich, super cool. I was the same class as Bay Bay at Georgia Tech. What's cool was the coach who recruited him, Chan Gailey, was fired after our freshmen year and then hired Paul Johnson and his option offense. Schools tried to paoch him and get him to leave but he decided to stick it out and had an amazing career at GT. He single handedly brought GT back into the game at the 2009 ACC Championship. Caught a WR and with a single stiff arm went like 60 years for a TD. Sickest stiff arm by a WR in the game. RIP Bay Bay
Still remember him carrying some of my fantasy teams back around 2013-2014. Not a broncos fan but man, this is sad. Rip
This was the best tribute I seen so far 😭
Terrible news. However Rich was so eloquent and thoughtful. This is why I watch and listen. He's the best.
Beautiful tribute! RIP DT
Thanks for the look back.
Only winners get wings! I enjoyed watching him, but enjoyed his smile even more. May God bless and keep you DT.
The car accident he got into caused him to have medical problems. He suffered from seizures. Had a major one in the shower.
Had no idea the reasons for his seizures
@@kimedison6677 but he had been having them.
@@jimbeam2299 that's why he had his family move closer to him. They were getting really bad. He was scared that this might happen.
More likely the seizures were caused by his concussions from playing football.
@@alexfleming6304 yup. Just an awful situation
this crushed me. we love you DT
It’s interesting. DT was one of those players that was so good that you noticed him for his play and talent. But he was so soft spoken and about business that you only occasionally thought to yourself, “hmmm, not a Broncos fan, but that guy’s cool”. Maybe the lesson is to notice those guys who are solid citizens and give them the attention they deserve. Rest in peace.
Thank you Rich..from a Broncos fan.
Decker didn't get a title with use....its so sad! 88 for everery fan in broncos nation! Very 😥 rest easy you and number 10 are best duo ever to me ! Thank you
Its really sad. He retired in the NFL with a healthy body but he had complications with his past car accident. He was still so young.
@Sosi Tehlirian please don’t breed
@Sosi Tehlirian
Okay, conspiracy theory naziboy.
Wrong, that car crash was 3 years ago and the seizures didn't start until 1 year ago
@@snak_dog you do know that the company's that make the jab can't be sued for injuries or death right?
Man, what a story, with a very UTTERLY sad ending, way too soon!!!!!!!!!!
rip to a legend
Sending Strength and Condolences 🙏 to DTs Family and friends Broncos Country 4L
I'm a lifelong chargers fan. This is so sad. RIP.
Didn’t know about DT’s story or he had passed until now. Not a broncos fan or a Gtech fan but this made me tear up quite a bit. I’m going to go hug my family now.
He didn’t live a long life but it seems like he lived a good life. Rest In Peace, this sucks.
Rest In Peace!
Thanks for the memories!
Nuff Said!
This is just heartbreaking
He was a good man with a lot of character. Very sorry to hear this.
Wonderful summary of his life.
Love you, Rich...you are the best in the biz...great tribute to DT88
Against All Odds? DT did the Impossible. THANK GOD HE REPRESENTED ATLANTA, GA. TECH, AND BRONCOS COUNTRY WE LOVE U DT! U WILL BE SORELY MISSED. MY GOD BLESS U, AND KEEP U!
No one shows more respect to the game and the people who play it more than Rich. RIP DT great player, even greater soul.
All I can say is he is in a Better place now God rest his awesome Soul.
From the same area,A Great Person!!
Sad story
Really Sad such a great player and person,
Sad news, for sure. He seemed like a great guy and I loved watching him play.
They should make a real cinema of this courageous and gentle souls life. Rest in peace brother.
🙏 DT ❤
This is a great tribute to DT man I’m sick still
Beautiful job Rich, beautiful!
So sad man. He was a beast WR at Georgia Tech in a triple option offense. Way too young RIP
Tip of my hat , bow of my head , to DT , to all Broncos fans , from a dolphins fan .
Thank you brother. We are hurting. Broncos country is hurting. We appreciate the support from other fans around the league
WELL SAID RICH 👏
Rest In Peace DT. Gone to Soon.
Absolutely great piece Rich...
That was Paul Johnson's offense in DT's senior year, they played triple option all day long.
When DT committed to GTech, Chan Gailey was the coach, but then he was fired.
RIP you will be missed.
RIP. Life truly is NOT fair.
A Great Young Man was DT, Prayers got out to all of his Family and Friends .. 🙏🙏🙏
Well said Rich...
My condolences to his family.
WOW!
God Rests his soul. Prayers with his family and friends
I remember GT throwing lots of jump ball passes back then, just like Tebow did. RIP
This was hard to hear of. Dude was a great player. Sad he was so young. Reminds me of derrick thomas. A car accident. Two guys who worked in the community and were great players . Both died very young. Both were in the same division.
Well said, Rich.
Such a sad loss.
So sad! 😢
