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.

Brewer, patriot, massive individual, but still from Ohio

The Broncos signed DT Sam Adams today. The guy has talent and bulk, maybe not in that order. Perhaps I should say he had talent. He was a great lineman for Baltimore's Super Bowl team and has since bounced around the league a bit. He brings several positive qualities to the Broncos. He is a talented veteran known for stuffing the run, due mostly to his humongous-ness. He might have lost a step or two, but he will probably be a great mentor for the young guys Shanahan drafted earlier this summer. Also, he will fill the hole left by the never-quite-made-it-to-Denver Dan Wilkinson. Their skills are about equal, but Adams still has some tackles left in his speedy bulk. If he stays healthy, Adams will be a great partner for Gerard Warren on the line.

But I'm still perplexed about our microscopic attention to the defensemen from Ohio.
