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.

All posts for the 2005-2009 Denver Broncos seasons are archived above. Check out the other exciting links. If you are actually reading this, then you'll have guessed that I like to sprinkle little bits of exciting information whereever I can. You should also beware of rogue gnomes. Some of these gnomes are disgruntled Bronco gnomes and they can be a nasty bunch. It's helpful to keep a pack of cinnamon gum in your pocket or purse. Disgruntled Bronco gnomes can often be placated or at least distracted by cinnamon gum. Without the gum you might lose a toe or get a swift gnome kick to the shin. Beware!
The Colorado Rockies are World Series bound!!! In age of excessive spending and hired bats, the Rockies did it the old-fashioned way. Their payroll is nearly 60% less than possible WS foe Boston. And the roster is home grown. Congratulations to Todd Helton and the rest!!!
In case you don't know, this Rockies team is epic. Best defensive team in baseball...EVER. Plus, they're on a nearly unprecedented win streak. Epic, baby, epic!!!

I hesitate ever to make predictions but the Rox have only lost 1 time in 22 games....and it might be awhile before they lose again!

So, you know how the big knock on A-Rod is how he brings it hardcore in the regular season and disappears in the postseason? Well, Manny and Big Poppy are the complete opposite. Those guys only start stretching in August. They pick up the weights at the start of September. And then in the postseason they just go nuts. If the Rockies face the BoSox, Manny and Big Poppy will win a game apiece for the Sox. But don't worry. The Rocks will get 'em in six.
And I just like the movie Major League so I give the Indians one WS game. Come on - Charlie Sheen as a power pitcher. You gotta love it.
MPJ: First of all, it's Big Papi. You know that.
Second of all. holy shit this is a weird feeling. Denver? A baseball town? I mean, I know the Rox were the toast of the west when they came to Denver, and remained pretty trendy and cool right up until about 1997. But to have people in Denver actually paying attention? Camping out for tickets? Wearing purple with pride? Commenting intelligently about baseball? Saying nice things about Charlie Monfort? I kind of don't know what to do with myself.
Rockies in six.
Karma - Rockies in six over...?
And for the record, I have never said anything nice about Charlie Monfort. Or any other Monfort for that matter.
And, I shoulda just called him David Ortiz. It's not like I'm, you know, fluent in Spanish or anything. Anyway, he's just a clone of Mo "Hit Dog" Vaughn, minus the fielding ability which isn't saying much. But it doesn't look like either of them can get past Cleveland, even with the homers.
