The Broncos have released wide receiver David Kircus, and since Kircus is a mediocre (at best) wide receiver who didn't catch a single preseason pass, that might not even seem like it's worth mentioning.But Kircus is worth mentioning because in an off-season when the big story of the NFL was players' off-field misconduct, Kircus's case stood out as particularly disturbing. Kircus went to someone's home and punched him in the face, causing multiple facial fractures, all because the guy put his hand on Kircus's arm -- and that's if you believe Kircus's side of the story.
Kircus is charged with felony assault and faces five to 16 years in prison. It seems very, very safe to say that his NFL career is over. He was a marginal player anyway, and marginal players who go around assaulting people aren't going to last in Roger Goodell's NFL.

Not that it matters what you think, but how the hell do you know it is true. He has not been found guilty yet. There are 3 sides to every story, his, his, and the truth. (usually it is his, hers, and the truth, but this is between 2 guys) Let us see. Do you ever wonder why Shanahan released him?mmmmmmmm.....Does he know something we don"t.
