I love the Broncos... I hate the Broncos

Can't take it anymore...My screaming at the tv is begining to affect family dynamics.

At least they're not the Bills. You finally accept that this isn't your year and you'll be getting a good draft pick. Then they decide to play like men and win a few in a row. Add in three OT game losses (all by a field goal). This season isn't good for your heart, regardless of your age.

BTW, why can't former Patriots leave old habits behind?

Question

What do the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, and Colorado Avalanche all have in common?

A: None of them play professional sports.

My perspective is this...Bowlen has had the advantage of a loyal and avid fan base during his tenure as owner...he has taken that for granted...he hired an inexperienced (cheap), immature coach with questionable credentials...Bowlen is willing to be patient as he does not want to pay three head coaches...I doubt that he'll be very patient IF revenues drop off at the stadium...if the ticket holders quit showing for games, quit paying for drinks and snacks at the game, quit paying for parking at the stadium, IF Bowlen feels some pain in his pocketbook, McHoodie will be gone...that remains to be seen...

I saw "Denver Donkeys" wiped into the dirty fuel tank of a locomotive, similar to a "wash me" on a dirty car. I think many are disappointed.

It could be worse! You could have the Cardinals to root for as your "home team"!

A local sportswriter noted: When "Coach Whiz" came here from the Pitts, everyone thought he walked on water. Now, they've discovered that he simply walked on Warner.

Zonie,I'm not a Cardinals fan(except as a kid when they were in Chicago,Charlie Trippi etc),but I believe Warner was the best thing that ever happened for the Cardinals and when he left so went their chances to ever get into the finals again,at least for now)......... It's what Robert E. Lee said when he heard that Stonewall Jackson was killed,I feel like I've just lost my right arm!
