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.

Bastardly Fans

I belong to a football pool. Every week members pick the winner of each game. We do it for fun. We do it for laughs. We also do it for cash. This week I noticed that several of the folks have picked KC over Denver in the Monday night game. I know that many of the folks in this pool, if not all of them, live in Denver, which means ipso facto that they should be Broncos fans. Yet these insensitive bastards don't even have enough faith in their home-town team to pick them in the pool. Well guess what? I picked the Broncos. I picked them as a fan, and I picked them 'cause they're the better team. And if they win, then I might just get all the cash. And no, oh faithful readers, I won't be buying them drinks with my money. So there!
