NFL 2009 Season Thread

[Kris P Lettus]

Have you seen the Saints stats the first three games this preseason??

Now I realize it it preseason, but even against the Dolphins (who won the AFC EAST last year) no starting "skilled" offensive player played a snap.. No Brees, Bush, PT, Colston, Lance Moore, Henderson, Shockey.. Practice squad guys were playing the Phins first stringers (even Pennington) in through the first half and we only lost by 3.. Also, John Carney missed a 36 yard feild goal..

Pretty phyched about our team this year..

[Kris P Lettus]

(Doesn't even know what a status bet is)


Over Like Rover is your status..

[Team Sheep]

Ravens (-13)
Vikings (-4)
Jets (+4.5)
Saints (-13)
Cardinals (-6.5)
Seahawks (-9)

£5 stake - £259 payout.

Why the fuck not.

[DrA]

I never trust the huge favorites going into week one. You always have about three teams like the Kansas City Chiefs that win for no reason at all.

Don't think Cassel is even playing..

[SammyG]

Am I delusional for thinking the Rams have a shot at winning on Sunday...

[Reavant]

Don't think Cassel is even playing..

im pretty sure he was just trying to make a point captain serious

[Kris P Lettus]

I was just discussing the fact that their only "star" offensive player is injured..

[Reavant]

captain serious strikes again

[Reavant]

:D

[Kris P Lettus]

interweb is serious business

[Droford]

I was reluctant to take the -13.5 on the Ravens but seriously even if Cassel plays its vs a fired up Ravens defense at home. The Ravens might not score much on offense but I figure their defense should be good enough for at least one easy score and maybe a defensive td to boot.

[Zen v.W.o.]

It's true though..OT in the NFL is stupid the way they run it. Its predicated on luck. A fucking coin toss can determine a winner.

One team should have the ability to go downfield first...if they score, they score..if they dont, they dont..but no matter what, even if they do score, the other team should get a chance to either tie the game up on their next drive, or grab the win.

Otherwise it is pretty fucking stupid.

[Kris P Lettus]

Def agree.. NFL should use something similar to NCAA OT..

Predicted on luck? So the other 4 quarters in the game are irrelevant? A team can't make a defensive stop, cause a big play? That is the worst argument against the NFL OT.

The college OT rules remove the importance of special teams, and to a lesser extent, defense. I have no problem with the NFL OT.

[Kris P Lettus]

"We want the ball and we're gonna score!!"

[#1-norm-fan]

I don't have a problem with NFL OT either. College OT does remove the importance of defense. A game goes 10-10 into OT, a great defensive battle for 4 quarters and then you start giving the offenses the ball already in FG range and the score gets inflated. It's fine how it is.

:yes:

[D Mac]

And the Cowfags will choke.

[RP]

If there's a crucial moment in a Cowboy home game and the road offense need to pick up a first down and they just wanna get a look at what formation the Cowboys are running, could the QB just go into the shotgun, take the snap and throw up in the air and hit the scoreboard?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Always an upset in the first week, always. I think the Lions will probably play hard for Schwartz but there's just a lack of talent there that will prevent them getting too close.

Rams have a shot, especially if Seattle has like half their O-line out like the last time I looked. Hopefully S-Jax got a good night's sleep cause he's going to be very busy.

I have a few things going on bet wise but I'm steering clear of the Jets, mainly because it's the Texans, and they're like the most unpredictable team in the league right now. Right next to the Broncos actually.

Don't hate me Giants fans but I can see how the Skins may (MAY) be able to cause an upset. Probably not, but I think they can cover the spread certainly.

<font color=goldenrod>Hahaha, that would be awesome.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>It may as well be Christmas...Giants season begins today :love:

The pressure is gonna have to step it up a notch today, the Giants will likely have just 6 defensive backs active today...3 CB and 3 S, including undrafted rookie Bruce Johnson as their nickel back. All 6 guys will have to be on the field in the dime package...kinda worried they are gonna get worn out. Really surprised they never went ahead and signed an extra secondary guy, if only for this week...still don't see why they need 10 OL on the roster. But, if the pass rush does its job it shouldn't be much of an issue, either take Campbell down or force him to make crappy throws.

Offensively, I'm expecting Jacobs and Bradshaw to carry the offensive load, but I really hope one of the wideouts can put up a great game and lock in a spot as a starter. It looks like Smith, Hixon, Manningham, and Nicks are gonna all be rotating until they find a combination that works best, so in some cases they are still auditioning for the starting job. I trust the line will give Eli the time he needs to find open men, and his throwing has looked crisp, so I hope the wideouts can actually make the catches.

As for special teams...I'm still not all that comfortable with Lawrence Tynes, but the dude has 4 years left on his deal so he's gonna be the guy. He basically got a year off last year behind Carney, but now the job is his again. Hope he can get off to a fast start to prove the naysayers wrong.

LET'S GO GIANTS!</font>

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Panthers/Eagles today. Gonna be interesting to see what my boys do this year. I still hate Jake though, just saying.

[Droford]

If there's a crucial moment in a Cowboy home game and the road offense need to pick up a first down and they just wanna get a look at what formation the Cowboys are running, could the QB just go into the shotgun, take the snap and throw up in the air and hit the scoreboard?

I would think it would be a penalty if the QB wasn't outside the tackles since if the QB throws regularly out of of bounds inside the tackles on purpose its intentional grounding.

Now, I cant believe that the Chiefs are stupid enough to go with Brodie Croyle today over Tyler Thigpen. Its almost like they know they're going to get beat..

[Reavant]

but he wouldnt be throwing it out of bounds

[Droford]

but he wouldnt be throwing it out of bounds

I thought that huge scoreboard was considered OB.

Theres no way the NFL is going to allow a QB to do that because it would have to be completely intentional on the part of the QB to throw it up that high. A punter could hit it, and while completely being intentional, still have more chance of belief that its was accidental..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

YES. Gus Johnson and Dan Fouts doing commentary for the Bengals/Broncos game.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol looks weird actually seeing Dallas wearing blue unis today cause the Bucs elected to wear white</font>

[Londoner]

watching cleveland atm, good stuff so far.

[FearedSanctity]

Theeeeeres that Denver D I'm used to

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Bad penalty from our center. From first and goal on the one to first and goal on the six because you, as a center, don't know the snap count.

[Londoner]

Loving this, i must say. But i am drunk, was hyped for the season anyway though.

[Droford]

Lions arent letting me down so far..

[HeartBreakMan2k]

TOOUUCCCHHHDOWN! Williams. :love:

[Team Sheep]

Where can I watch the Jets game? Don't really wanna watch Cleveland on TV...

[FearedSanctity]

Kinda depressed our DBs couldn't beat the kicker on a race to the ball

[Londoner]

Team sheep-its a good game though,imo.

[FearedSanctity]

Bye bye, Brett Kern?

[Team Sheep]

Team sheep-its a good game though,imo.

It's alright but I'd rather watch the my team. I guess Favre on TV and NFL Game Center will have to do.

[Londoner]

It's alright but I'd rather watch the my team. I guess Favre on TV and NFL Game Center will have to do.

Whose your team? I don't really have any favourites, just looking forward to what happens.

[Boomer]

Tony Gonzalez is amazing.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

... I hate Delhomme so much...

[Droford]

The lions are gonna end up beating the saints.

:foc: to the Saints.

[Team Sheep]

Whose your team? I don't really have any favourites, just looking forward to what happens.

The god damn Jets :D

[Londoner]

The god damn Jets :D

ah :D

interesting situation in this game atm!

[Droford]

Chiefs block a punt for a td.

ARGH

[FearedSanctity]

Christ, this throwing into double coverage on third downs is getting old

[HeartBreakMan2k]

... I hate Delhomme so much...
:rant::mad:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Giants game is airing here as usual at 4:15. So sick of seeing the fucking Giants every week every year.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ugh come the fuck on Drew Brees, throw the fucking ball to fucking Lance Moore.</font>

[Droford]

Ugh come the fuck on Drew Brees, throw the fucking ball to fucking Lance Moore.
you should be happy then..I guess

and Shockey might have a TD.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Bengals outgain the Broncos 185-91 and are down 3-0. COME ON

[SammyG]

About fucking time Tony Romo.

[weather vane]

Cinci is fucking killing me rn.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Bengals have dropped like 7 passes today. What the fuck is your fucking problem assholes

[The Gold Standard]

Sanchez looks pretty good today.

[The Gold Standard]

I cannot wait until 4:15 when the Giants start!!

[weather vane]

Laverneus Coles is terrible at catching things. Mainly footballs.

[The Gold Standard]

It is so hard to root for my fantasy teams because I have so many different people to root for and I am also facing some of these people.

[Droford]

Flacco is on pace to throw the ball about 45 times..

Im shocked they've gotten so far away from their MO of running the ball...

[The Gold Standard]

Flacco should only throw it like 25-30 times a game

[Nervous Ferret]

Mark Sanchez :cool:

[Droford]

His 29th pass was taken back 70 yards by the chiefs to set up a TD for KC.

Ravens are down 14-10..wtf?

[The Gold Standard]

Texans need to throw to Andre Johnson more.

[Londoner]

Minnsesota 17-13 up v cleveland.

[SammyG]

Brett Favre fucking sucks by the way.

[The Gold Standard]

Jets D is all over the place today

[The Gold Standard]

Percy Harvin is good

[weather vane]

why the fuck do I bet on the Bengals?

[Droford]

Figures the only team standing between me and $200 is the Ravens...I doubt they'll score 2 TDs in 17 minutes.

[SammyG]

lol Thank god Thomas Jones had a 1 yard TD run or he would give me NOTHING in fantasy.

[The Gold Standard]

lol Thank god Thomas Jones had a 1 yard TD run or he would give me NOTHING in fantasy.

same here

[The Gold Standard]

WHy can't Stafford throw the ball to Calvin at the 1 yard line?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fucking Texans O-Line not even giving Schaub a chance. Having a crappy fantasy week so far</font>

[The Gold Standard]

Sanchez is looking real good today. He doesn't really look like a rookie yet.

[The Gold Standard]

As I say he doesn't look like a rookie, he throws an INT

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>It's official, Giants only have 6 DBs going today. Hope nobody gets hurt or they'll have to put a fuckin WR out there</font>

[OssMan]

Michael Clayton on the Bucs just took a huge hit as soon as he made the catch but stayed on his feet and the dude who hit him went down. It was sick.

[The Gold Standard]

<font color=goldenrod>It's official, Giants only have 6 DBs going today. Hope nobody gets hurt or they'll have to put a fuckin WR out there</font>

Who is out?

[Evil Vito]

Who is out?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Roy Williams just got deked by Kyle Orton

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE

[The Gold Standard]

YES Thomas Jones helping my fantasy team

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Also feel bad for Guy Whimper.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Michael Turner's done nothing so far. Have him on one of my teams...hope he can prove the "guys who come out of nowhere to have an amazing year go back down to earth the next year" detractors wrong</font> :o

[Zen v.W.o.]

It is so hard to root for my fantasy teams because I have so many different people to root for and I am also facing some of these people.

That's why you only join one, otherwise it's stupid and you cant even enjoy watching football, because sometimes you'll have players on your fantasy team playing against your fave team, and you dont want them to do well against your fave team.

Only join one.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Michael Turner's done nothing so far. Have him on one of my teams...hope he can prove the "guys who come out of nowhere to have an amazing year go back down to earth the next year" detractors wrong :o


I'd be more worried about the "guys who run the ball 370+ times in a season are physically exhausted the next year" detractors.

[Droford]

That's why you only join one, otherwise it's stupid and you cant even enjoy watching football, because sometimes you'll have players on your fantasy team playing against your fave team, and you dont want them to do well against your fave team.

Only join one.

Also, dont bet on your favorite team. Even if they're winning but not by enough, you still aren't happy.

As evidenced by my anger at the Ravens being now tied with the Chiefs.

[RatedGSuperstar]

Adrian Peterson is a beast. Good thing he'll probably be hurt in a couple weeks, just in time for Week 4. ;)

Hope every single one of you die right now. Especially Skippord.

[Droford]

TD RAVENS on 4th and goal from the 1/2 to cover! YES

38-24

they just have to stop the chiefs with 30 seconds to go and im off to Dover for $200

[owenbrown]

:'( Supreme

[D Mac]

Oh well, at least KC kept fighting till the end. Should beat the Raiders next week.

[FearedSanctity]

Denver deserved to win and lose that game. But I like the win better.

If the D keeps playing like that, and if the O finds a pair and steps up....

[Team Sheep]

YES YES YES COME ON!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hooray a Giants player is hurt. I hope he dies.

[Team Sheep]

Cardinals and Seahawks now to win me some cash :cool:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I hope you die too.

[RP]

WHAT

[RP]

what the fuck happend?

[RP]

I just adopted the Bengals as my secondary team. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPEND OMFG

[Droford]

I guess my money rests on the Lions not scoring a TD here..damnit I thought the Saints had put this game away.

Saints INT! YES..Im off to get my cash! YES!

[RP]

Brandon Fucking STokely

[McLegend]

O NO

Donovan McNabb might have crack ribs, and if he does he would be out 2-4 weeks......

[RP]

I cant be mad at Brandon " one of the most underrated recievers ever " Stokley, but wtf!

[RP]

ARE YOU SREIOUS!

[RP]

REALLY BENGALS! REALLY?

[owenbrown]

are you gonna be ok, RP? :lol:

[D Mac]

O NO

Donovan McNabb might have crack ribs, and if he does he would be out 2-4 weeks......

Vick takes over in week 3, but who's their other QB?

[Heros Welcome]

DIRTY BIRDS BABY!!!

Boomer pretty much said it earlier. Minus the few miscues from Matty it would have been an even bigger win.

The Defense today was tough as nails, esp the D Line.

The passing attack looks to be so potent this year, and throw in the fact that Turner was stuffed today once he can get going were going to be rolling on all cylinders!

SO PUMPED FOOTBALL IS BACK!!

I don't think they should call a penalty after a review. If the refs miss something on the field that's thier fault. (Rams game)

McNabb :(

The Detmer brothers are frantically getting into shape.

[D Mac]

Didn't even think that was possible, wtf?

Yeah the Rams blocked a punt and they reviewed it and called 12 men on the field and it led to a Seahawk 1st down and they routed them there after.

[Loose Cannon]

are you a rich lad Team Sheep?

Sanchez :cool:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

It makes sense that you can review that, it's not like they are reviewing a holding call or something. Too many men on the field is a different type of penalty.

[Team Sheep]

are you a rich lad Team Sheep?

Sanchez :cool:

It was a £5 bet.

[Loose Cannon]

what is that like $5,000 US dollars?

Offense looked pretty good with the exception of a bad decision by Eli on the INT and a couple of drops. And the D was amazing until the secondary finally started getting worked on at the end. Hope Ware and Nicks aren't out long though.

The last thing you want to do is get Houston Texans fans upset.

[Kris P Lettus]

The lions are gonna end up beating the saints.

:foc: to the Saints.

lol

Besides the turnovers, the game was exactly as I predicted.. Plus, that unnecessary roughness call or whatever, win Will Smith bumped into a Lions player after the play, that negated the Sed Ellis fumble recovery was complete and total bullshit.. I'm going to write a letter..

So glad we got Darren Sharper BTW.. Also, Shockey actually scoring TD's was pretty f'n great..

Eagles D looked sick for what I saw/heard today.. Did McNabb break a rib?? If so, who's their backup?? Kobb??

[McLegend]

Kevin Kolb...

McNabb might not be out next week. I kind of don't want him to play since it's only week 2, and the next 3 games after are very winnable games even without McNabb.

[Gonzo]

I'm fucking pissed, McNabb is my second QB in my 2 QB league.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL holy shit Jay Cutler</font>

[D Mac]

LOL Cutler. He'll be run out of Chicago if this keeps up. :lol:

[FearedSanctity]

Orton may not have the greatest arm, but at least he didn't throw 4 INTs. Or 3. Or 2. Or 1. :yes:

[SammyG]

That was a good game.

[Gonzo]

lol wtf on Cutler

[Skippord]

Al Harris suddenly became my new favorite cornerback

[Emperor Smeat]

Bears WRs and TEs were horrible against the Packers and not so much because of the Pakcers Defense but all the lazy route running. I think Olsen was probably the worst of them all today.

Although such a sweet TD pass Rodgers did that gave the Packers the game winning lead.

[SammyG]

Yeah for real, wtf was up with Clark stopping like 3 of his routes. Didnt cutler throw like 2 picks because of that basically.

[FearedSanctity]

I, personally, like to believe he threw those picks because he's a bitch

Love that Broncos fans are so bitter about Cutler leaving. Would you want to play for a coach who flat out says "I don't want you as my quarterback" ?

[DaveBrawl]

Did Chicago get the Jay Cutler excuse bag in the trade as well or did Denver get to keep it?

I'm sure he or ESPN can reach in and find someone or something to blame for last night.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/rumors/post/Shanahan-planned-to-cut-Broncos-WR-Marshall?urn=nfl,189263

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall(notes) has led all NFL receivers with 206 catches for 2,590 yards over the last two seasons and he had four receptions in the team's miracle win yesterday over the Cincinnati Bengals. But former Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan was apparently planning to give Marshall the axe this season, according to ESPN.

Who can blame Shanahan? He reportedly was sick of all of Marshall's off-the-field antics and thought he was becoming "unreliable" on the field. He supposedly told former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler(notes) this just the day before Shanahan himself got canned.

Now, ironically, Marshall is the only one of those three that is left on the team since Cutler got traded to the Chicago Bears. Of course Shanahan's firing didn't mean an end to Pro Bowler Marshall's behavioral issues. Those are supposedly the reason the Broncos can't trade him, a hope that Marshall has reportedly had since last spring.

ESPN has been killing Jay Cutler all morning. I've seen the highlight of the same 2 INT's atleast 30 times in the 2 hours i watched SportCenter and Mike and Mike. Its overkill. Dont people know the Packers have a fantastic defense?

wow. Win one game and all of a sudden its " Screw Cutler! ". :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Does Denver even realize they were one miracle away from losing to the Bengals? Enjoy sitting at home for the playoffs Denver.

[DaveBrawl]

No it's not one game, I couldn't stand the guy when he was qb for Denver, but it's funny how someone always had an excuse for him if he played poorly.

As for sitting home for the playoffs I think they had gotten used to it with Cutler there so nothing really changed.

[RP]

Raiders over the Chargers tonight

[Splaya]

Urlacher is supposedly done for the season.

Mind you, I'm a Detroit Lions fan and when they are horrible (see: ALL the time) I'm a huge Green bay fan. But as a fantasy football person, I can see who gets affected by Cutler the most. Rep to the first person who gets it

[RP]

lol on ESPN's site they have the first news line saying " Urlachers Season Over " and then below the news box theres a add with Urlachers face on it that says " Click to unleash Urlacher ! "


Love it. Thank God football is back.

Yeah it's all Cutler's fault that the defense gave up the 3rd most points and the 4th most yards in the NFL last year.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I understand the want to be loyal to your team, but Denver fan has completely ignored facts and logic in this whole debacle. Your coach fucked up. Admit it and move on.

[DaveBrawl]

Bitter much?

I didn't say he was the only one to blame. I never even attempted to make that point. But if he did have a bad game, or if he did make a mistake there always seemed to be someone that wanted to say it wasn't his fault, and it only happened because someone else messed up.

[FearedSanctity]

Love that Broncos fans are so bitter about Cutler leaving. Would you want to play for a coach who flat out says "I don't want you as my quarterback" ?

Sorry, don't remember that.

I remember Jay basically crying about them trying to trade him. I remember after that Josh saying he was just doing his job by listening to any reasonable offers for anyone, and then saying moving forward Jay was his QB. I then remember Jay leaving the state and McD constantly trying to meet with him. About a week was spent with McD just trying to meet one-on-one with Cutler, and Cutler either no showing or just sending his agent. I remember McDaniels and Bowlen saying Cutler hadn't been answering calls or even responding to texts. Then I remember him being traded.

Don't get why it's so hard for everyone to see why McDaniels would want Cassel. You're a young rookie coach, why the hell WOULDN'T you want one of the guys that knows your system already AND helped make your name what it is. Would I rather have Cutler right now? Duh. But I can deal with what we have now, because I wasn't really too big on Plummer when we first got him, yet look where we got with him. Farthest we've been since Elway.

Jay didn't help his case after he left, when he rated Chicago fans (a 9) and Denver fans (a 6), and then a couple days later after Denver fans got pissed, said that he'd never said it. Dude has a serious problem manning up.

Maybe we should've just listened to Philip Rivers a couple years ago...

Wow. Urlacher out for the season with a dislocated wrist. :-\

Doesn't sound like a season ending injury. I mean, I'm not doctor or anything but "dislocated wrist" just doesn't sound like an injury that's gonna end someones season. Just odd.

Yeah seems odd unless his wrist was seen as too injury-prone for the season even if he came back after surgery.

[RP]

or unless he tore ligamets

How would you feel if your boss said Hey I'd rather have someone else do your job and if the price is right I'll get rid of you, but since we didn't get what we want I guess we'll just stick with you? I'd be pissed and I'd want out of the organization too.

As for Cutler not meeting with McDaniels, how is that a negative against Cutler? He didn't want to play for McDaniels anymore so what obligation does Cutler have to have go to some meeting that isn't going to solve anything?

I agree that McDaniels would want Cassel because he's comfortable with the guy, but you can't go out and try to get him without angering the guy whose job you're trying to give away.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

You can argue that Cutler handled it poorly, and I would agree with you. But if McDaniels hadn't done what he did in the first place, there wouldn't even be a situation to handle.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Do you think Tony Dungy ever said he was listening to offers for Peyton Manning?

[DaveBrawl]

I wouldn't want Matt Cassel to replace Cutler, but Jay Cutler is hardly Peyton Manning. Besides it's not like he was openly trading Cutler, if someone came with an offer he listened it's not like he listed him on the trading block.

As for the way he handled it, he could look to Jason Campbell. He was basically looked to be traded to a couple teams, including to Denver for Cutler, and he didn't throw a fit and pout. He came out and said he understood it was a business and would try to play his best no matter where he ended up.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Jason Campbell is hardly Jay Cutler

[Hanso Amore]

This is going to be the worst night ever. its hard enough watching to Bills lose...but on Monday night, during the Tom Brady Suck and Fuck Fest is going to be mutha fucking BRUTAL

I wonder if Gruden is still bitter about the tuck rule game

[Hanso Amore]

Jaws is from buffalo and Gruden hates the pats, but I know it will STILL be the Tom Brady power Hour

As it should be... I mean I hate the Patriots and everything... but yeah.

The Broncos listened to trades for John Elway, twice.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Because Dan Reeves and John Elway hated each other. How does that bolster your argument?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Hakeem Nicks and Danny Ware both expected to miss at least 2, possibly 3 weeks. Damn. But, it could have been worse. Nicks apparently was really close to a Lis Franc injury which can keep out for a year.

A couple of roster moves gonna be coming this week. I'm guessing they cut one of their excess linebackers for Michael Boley and get rid of an OL to bring Allen Patrick off of the practice squad.</font>

[ClockShot]

Eagles sign Jeff Garcia.

lol Kevin Kolb

1 sunday rental until Vick is elligible? What's the point of going back?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Well Vick's hardly a sure thing. Better to be safe.

[McLegend]

You need a back up for week 2.

I actually think Kevin Kolb can be pretty good in the West Coast offense. Really looking forward to Sunday.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Pats wearing throwbacks, as are the Bills.

When are the Bills gonna just declare that their official uni? They wear it so often it may as well be.</font>

[Skippord]

just saying Elway didn't freak out about it

pretty much I just wanted to bring John Elway up

I love that man

[Skippord]

also I wasn't alive then so I probably shouldn't mention it

but I'm just saying you can't fault Bronco fans for being bitter about Cutler

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Elway threatened to play baseball if the Colts didn't trade him. Not the best example.
