MP's Broncos Update

Former NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle convinced "all the league's owners to adopt revenue sharing, arguably the most successful form of socialism in U.S. history. The reason the NFL is so dominant is because the NFL is basically Marxist. This was Rozelle's greatest coup, and everybody knows it. But you'd never guess that from watching the NFL Network. Marxism is not a talking point." -Chuck Klosterman

Regarding McDaniels/Profanity-gate: I don't think the guy should have apologized for anything. He didn't say anything unreasonable in the circumstances; in fact he didn't say anything that I haven't said at my job (which is moderately comparable). I think he apologized because he is a caring parent, which is a good thing, but I hope he doesn't change his ways. I like his fieriness.

Beaten Like A Dog

Though further analysis of the complete drubbing is forthcoming, let me just say that the Broncos looked absolutely inept. On offense, the passing game was virtually non-existent, the run-game broke down as soon as Anderson left, and the play-calling was completely bumbled. Mastermind my ass. Despite the result, the defense didn't play that bad. Unfortunately they were on the field way too long, which led to injuries, dehydration, and eventual breakdowns. Mike Anderson's early departure may have cost the Broncos more than anyone suspected. A final thought - Why didn't Shanahan bring in Ron Dayne? At least he could have banged for a couple of first downs and given the defense some rest. Pitiful, pitiful, pitiful.
