McDaniels/Brady 2.0

In a move that doesn't shock most Bronco fans, the team acquired quarterback Brady Quinn from the Cleveland Browns. Quinn's NFL career has been rocky (no pun), to say the least. After three seasons in Cleveland, he has 10 touchdown passes, 9 interceptions, and a 52% completion percentage in 14 games. Some people say those numbers reflect the fact that he's not a long term answer at the position. Some say he's never gotten a fair chance to run the show. And of course, there are others that attribute his failures to playing in that shithole in Ohio. At the very least, he is an interesting acquisition for the Broncos, who are searching for a franchise quarterback after last year's divorce with the Diabetic Demon. While his tools (PAUSE!) may not be as impressive as you'd like, having a known quarterback guy like Josh McDaniels to work with him is appealing. Josh has been a fan of his since his days at Notre Dame - and even tried to pry Quinn in a trade last season.

It remains to be seen how this works out. I don't mind the trade because Denver really gave up nothing. Their entire offseason has been really solid. I like Josh's philosophy of bringing in a deep pool of solid talent. As opposed to pouring all your money into a big time free agent who will most likely not be worth it.

Here's to hoping we keep B-Marsh...

Life As A Bronco Fan In The Post-Elway Era Is Depressing

I feel like I've seen this before. It's probably because I have. The final day of the season. The Broncos need a win to keep themselves in a playoff scenario. And not only do they come up short, they straight up lay an egg. Yesterday's game against the Chiefs proved to be no different as the Broncos were creamed (yeah, it was so bad that I said "creamed") by the Kansas City Chiefs 44-24. AT HOME.

What went wrong? There's a laundry list. It started earlier in the week when the rift between coach Josh McDaniels and star wide receiver Brandon Marshall once again reared its ugly head, resulting in the team's best player being benched. It continued with the benching of starting tight end Tony Scheffler, apparently because of his attitude toward McDaniels. These are the same two players that were at odds with the coach at the beginning of the season. The picture on the field wasn't anymore pretty. 44 points given up. 259 rushing yards from KC running back Jamaal Charles. Three interceptions thrown by Kyle Orton, two returned for touchdowns. Missed tackles. Dropped passes. An all too familiar scene for Bronco fans on the last day of the season.

For the second year in a row, the Broncos were humiliated by an AFC West rival in the final game of the season to end their playoff hopes. Three out of the last four years, they've lost on the final day of the season to miss the playoffs. The difference this year is that they wouldn't have made it had they won, but you'd still like to see the fighting spirit in your team. Especially in a game against an inferior opponent at home. Yesterday, I didn't even know how to feel about the game. I just know that I've been a Bronco fan since I was in the crib. And I deserve more than this. All of us deserve more than this. I invest too much of myself into this team for them to continuously embarrass themselves like this.

It must get better. We don't accept this in Denver. I thought the years where we routinely got humiliated in the Super Bowl were bad. This is next level.

Holiday Cheer / R.I.P. Brittany Murphy

What's up? I haven't blogged in a while. Truth is, I haven't felt like it. Not for any particular reason. I'm just a lazy piece of shit. Nevertheless, I don't want my blog to completely die out, so I write.

The Denver Broncos depress me. Time and time again. Ever since Elway left, this team has done nothing but choke when it matters. I'm one of those people who'd rather have my team be flat out awful than give me any kind of false hope. Routinely, the Broncos get off to hot starts, slow down toward the middle, and completely flame out in the end. This season, they're proving to be consistent in their inconsistency. Fuckers. Tired of this shit.

Brittany Murphy, of Clueless / 8 Mile fame, passed away this weekend from was is being reported as cardiac arrest. She was only 32 years old. Rest In Pace, Brittany.

This year has been filled with a seemingly endless amount of celebrity deaths. From the iconic Michael Jackson to popular TV pitchman, Billy Mays. As I get older, I think about my own mortality more often. Start calculating weird shit in my mind. For instance, at the age of 25, I figure I'll live at least two more 25-year periods. Did I even say that right? Fuck it. That's assuming I start taking my health seriously and shit. Which I don't. At all. Putting it into that kind of perspective, it makes me nervous as hell. I start thinking about what happens to you after you die and my stomach gets queasy. Then after I calm down, I realize that I need to make the most of the life I'm living. Life itself is such an incredible and improbable gift. I love living. If I had the option of living forever, I'd snatch that up with the quickness. I know its not natural - but that's what happens when people aren't made aware of the purpose of their lives. I blame God and his secrets. Saying that, I wish everybody out there a happy and safe holiday season. I hope you're out there doing something memorable and remarkable. Live it up.

By the way ladies - if you don't like giving blowjobs, don't offer. Nothing is worse than a reluctant blowjob. Well, there are worse things. Like AIDS and traffic. Not very many though!

Return Of The Mack

You liiiiiiiied to me, all those times I said that I Love You...yes I tried, yes I tri-i-ied.

What's up, readers? I took a little break from blogging for a few days. Just because I was hammered down with a lot of other shit and didn't really feel like it. But now I kinda feel like speaking on some shit. Wanna read it? Here it goes.

The Broncos have went from 6-0 to awful. In a very short amount of time. They lost to Washington this past weekend. Needless to say, I was very disgusted in our performance. I've been viewing Washington as the "get back on track" game for the last couple weeks - and not only do we lose it, we lose it heading into an AFC West showdown with the Chargers next week. Ugh.

The Magic lost Jameer Nelson to a torn meniscus this week. That made me a very sad panda. Seriously...this team doesn't catch a break. Especially this season. Rashard Lewis gets suspended for "illegal substances." Vince Carter sprains an ankle. Ryan Anderson sprains an ankle. JJ Redick sprains an ankle. Matt Barnes and Brandon Bass have been playing with flu symptoms. And Marcin Gortat is hurt as well. It really gets to a point where you figure its just not meant to be. It's gotten so bad that I've gotten behind the Magic bringing in Allen Iverson to fill in. I'm actually for the idea. That's how bad it is.

Bill Belichick is a lunatic. And so are people trying to justify the call. Peyton Manning with less than 30 yards? I'd rather send my daughter off to Chuck E. Cheese with R. Kelly.

I don't have a daughter by the way.

Speaking of which, you see that lady who sold her daughter off for sex? How is that humanly possible?

Manny Pacquiao absolutely destroyed Miguel Cotto this weekend. I'm not shocked that he won - but I was surprised at how easy he made it look. He's clearly, at least, right there with Floyd for the P4P crown and this fight needs to happen early 2010.

We're critiquing how Obama bowed now? Really?

I just watched a preview for a Carmen Electra sextape. I love when celebri-whores realize their career is over and bless us with these goodies.

This past weekend's episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. As I've said...and will continue to say, Larry David is the funniest man on the planet.

Can you escape Blueprint 3? I can't. It's EVERYWHERE. Namely, "Empire State Of Mind." Its on the radio, its on TV, its in stores, its at sporting events. People loving them some Jigga right now.

I finally watched all the X-Men movies after procrastinating for a few years. I gotta say - they're not very good.

I love the movie "Knocked Up." I've seen it a million times. Literally. I've been keeping count. Anytime its on HBO or E!, I have to stop and watch. Great shit.

I think that's it...I guess that's it.

Until next time...peace!

Broncos, B-Marsh Talking Extension

Those pajama pants are dope as fuck. Smells like a fashion trend to me.

Anyways, according to ESPN, the Broncos are now exploring the possibility of giving disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Marshall his desired contract extension. No word on if he's overly thrilled about the possibility of staying in Denver, but he's been able to suppress his attitude in recent days enough to get the brass thinking about throwing dollars his way. I'd love to joke about this, but the reality is that I need encouraging news out of Denver. Because, for all of the shit we've done this off season, we've got great players. A standout offensive line. A pair of great, play making wide receivers. A potential stud running back. Our defense needs a lot of work, but we've put veterans in a position to maybe at least change the culture of it. Ironically, depending on how this Marshall situation turns out and how the team responds to Mickey D's...we can be a quarterback away. Or maybe I've just overly optimistic because of this Marshall news. That's probably it.

B-Marsh Gets Suspended

The Broncos suspended receiver Brandon (great name) Marshall indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team today. After a day in which he phoned in practice and conducted interviews to reiterate his displeasure with the organization, Denver took the action that they felt was best for the team. Now ever since this asshole McDaniels took over, I've done nothing but blame him for everything that's gone wrong. But this - this is a primadonna receiver issue. I'm not even upset at the fact that the kid wants a new contract. I'm upset at the fact that he continues to do shit off the field that makes signing him to a big contract such gamble. Plus, his bitch ass antics are only decreasing his trade value. Making it less likely that the Broncos will actually move his punk ass before the season starts. I gotta say, as a sports fan, I've experienced two really fucked up offseasons. The Summer of Shaq. And whatever this bullshit is happening to Denver this year. Its completely unfair as a fan to have to put up with such disarray in an organization. To patiently wait for and support players while they're developing - only to see another team reap the benefits. Fuck that. Nevertheless, I hope he finds his way to another team soon. I'm tired of dealing with his bullshit. And hopefully, with his departure, we can start moving forward again. Which we haven't done in a very long time.

A Less Rocky Day In Denver

It's been a rough couple days for me as a sports fan. Rashard Lewis was suspended for performance enhancers and the Rockies lost their series to the Phillies in very poor fashion. Today, I woke up from my afternoon nap to a bit of good news. The Denver Broncos have finally signed playmaking runningback Knowshon Moreno. 5 year deal worth 23 million dollars, 13 of those millions being guaranteed. *sigh* Must be nice. Anyhow - I'm happy to see this deal finally get done and maybe we can make something of this season. I expect 1-15, 2-14 type football. 3-13 would just blow my fuckin mind. Go Broncos!
