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.

Reevaluation

Okay, so maybe Mike Bell isn't as mediocre as I previously forecasted. His stats against Tennessee were impressive, gaudy even, but all the backs looked good against the Titans. I'm not going to embrace the rookie yet, but I will admit to changing from downright cynicism to a healthy skepticism.

The Houston game should be a nice proving ground for Bell. Kubiak will make things difficult for the Broncos' offense. If Bell shines for 2-3 quarters then I'll give him the MP seal of approval. Until then I'm waiting for the other Bell to claim his spot as the #1 back.
