One of the all time best. Sad news.

Wow... just like McNair's death, this came out of nowhere. Talk about too young.


Poor Terry Bradshaw's daughter. I never knew they were married until a few days ago when I saw a clip of Terry Bradshaw on a late night show on youtube. Don't recall if it was Kimmel or Letterman or whoever. Terry Bradshaw gave Bironas a hard time at first because he didn't want a football player dating his daughter do to lifestyle a lot of them live. They're in shape, on the road and have a lot of money. In other words, he's worried about someone like that being faithful to his daughter. Anyways, Bradshaw ended up liking him a lot and became close with him. Can't believe that a few days later he passed away after seeing that. It's sad enough that it happened, but hearing a story about how he has a wife and how he proposed to her just a few days ago makes it that much more sad. Life isn't fair.

One of the all time best. Sad news.

Indeed.

Damn this is very damn sad and very shocking when I first saw it this morning on yahoo sports.
My condolences to the bironas family.

Titans should play in memory of bironas today.

[Nerd-Vol]

Rip. Really sorry to hear about this.

 

[YankeeVol]

Crazy how things can change so quickly. Thoughts to his family.

 

[dduncan4163]

He was one of the best kickers the Titans ever had. RIP

 

[InVOLuntary]

Very sad news. Heard it was a single vehicle accident. Also, as I would have expected Terry Bradshaw wasn't on Fox today.

 

[508mikey]

Unreal - He could have still been playing as good as he was.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

RIP. I always liked Bironas. Sad day. Prayers going up for his family.

 

[Deputy Fife]

He was one of the best kickers the Titans ever had. RIP

Unequivocally THE best and it's not even close.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Unequivocally THE best and it's not even close.

I agree. Del Greco was good until he totally sucked at the end of his career

RIP, Rob.

Saw a picture of his SUV. Looks like a 2015 Tahoe but it's crushed. Slow down people

 

[VolsSportsFan]

The details coming out about his death are painting a very strange picture.

 

[GreveHaller]

This story is getting strange. Sorry but if my spouse went to bed and I found out they werent there nor was their car I sure wouldnt call in a missing persons report immediately. Sure I might try to call her cell and even call other people but it would be 4,5, 6 hours before I called in a missing person report not 30 minutes.

Apparently a couple had called 911 because a white SUV had almost ran them off the road

Jim?

And the more that comes out the stranger it gets. The couple apparently stopped and the husband got out to ask what the problem was. Did they run him off the road?

Rob Bironas' wife reported him missing just before fatal car crash - CBSSports.com

Here's audio of the 911 call by the person he tried to run off the road.
