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.

Thought of the Day

It has come to my attention that the announcers were absolutely horrible in the last game. I cannot attest to this fact since I listened to the majority of the game on the radio, while attending the glorious nuptials of other folks, and watching highlights and replays after-the-fact. However, it does seem to follow the general trend of mediocre announcing throughout the league. I like John Madden. He does a good job explaining the game, and his diagrams are great. Al Michaels is also good. After that I can't think of anyone else who really thrills me. Can you?
