Shenanigans....Chicanery

Broncos - Patriots

I have no clue how Denver got past Pitt last week. I’m pretty sure tonight will be a violent beatdown. This will not be quick, I will not enjoy this.

Draft day

So apparently the Broncos are taking Von Miller. I don’t like this at all. He’s a great pass rusher, but the D line needs so much help and he seems like a less skilled version of Elivs Dumervil. My main problem is that #2 is just too high. Why not take one of the beastly DTs, preferably Dareus, or Patrick Peterson?!?

Any other year the Broncos could trade down to say the 6, pick up a 2nd round or future 1st and get Miller lower. Sadly, with players off the table due to the lockout, there won’t be many trades. I’m trying to think of a single decision the Broncos have made in the last…16 months I don’t hate and coming up blank. Hopefully I’m wrong here and Miller ends up being awesome.

Draft Week

Ahhhh draft week. While I hate the new 3 day format, my absurd love for drafts in general means I will watch far more of the media created/inflated spectacle than any reasonable man should. While the lockout is technically off with the ruling on Monday afternoon, I can guarandamntee that it will be appealed, causing a stay, meaning not a damn thing changes. This sucks, because free agency can’t start, and players can’t be traded. What this means is no trades of real import will likely happen. This sucks for 2 reasons. First, I love trades, and I especially love them during the draft. More importantly though, Denver at #2 could trade down and get 2 really good 1st round defensive players most years…but not now.

Assuming Denver stays at the 2, I’m really hoping they go with either Marcel Dareus or Patrick Peterson. I think Dareus is the more sensible pick at the spot, especially with the new kickoff rules nerfing some of Peterson’s value. Von Miller from A&M has been getting a lot of hype lately, but Dumervil will be coming back this year (if it happens) so why not take a guy in Dareus that can fit in at DT perfectly or DE w/ a little work.  All I know is if they don’t go with one of the elite D players, somebody needs to be fired.

Final thought for right now: I wish there was somewhere to bet on the bustiness of players. The fact that Cam Newton is being talked about as a potential #1 pick cracks me up. I just do not see this guy as a successful QB in the NFL. I would like to wager on his career success being closer to Jamarcus Russel than any other recent #1’s, but I sadly don’t think this exists. As always, I’m a moron, so this means Cam should thank me for his soon to be Hall of Fame career. But seriously, he’s gonna get picked by the Bills and be terrible. BOOOOOOOOOOK it.

More to come Thursday. Now I must sleep and think of nothing but my Jeopardy tryout where hopefully that whole “I’m a moron” thing doesn’t take over.

I think the Broncos hate me

First Brady Quinn, then the utter abortion that was the trade to get Tebow, now hiring the only coach that did worse than you this year??? Seriously what the fuck???

Soooooooo about Coachhunt2k11

I won’t lie, I had all my hopes on Elway’s new presence swaying Harbaugh to Denver. He was ny top candidate and really the only one I wanted. Now that he’s going to SF I don’t know what to hope for.

Some people say Harbaugh wanted to let his players talk…

I say he got away from Tafoya because he had to sign something for John Elway on the sideline. A beautiful head coaching contract for the Denver Bronco Professional Footballing Club.

This team is miserable

The only joy I can take out of the utter patheticness of this year’s Broncos is that McDaniels is gone and we should have a very very high draft pick when all this is said and done. Granted, I don’t even know if there will be a season to draft for, but it’s something I guess.

Mike Leach for Denver Broncos

I’ve got tons of thoughts on the whole Denver situation that I’ll get to after work, but while I’m at lunch, I’d like to officially endorse Mike Leach for the position of Head Footballing Coach of the Denver Colorado Professional Horsey Themed Football Squadron. If we’re gonna go nuts, let’s go full Pirate Ham

HORSEYPOCALYPSE 2k10!

Broncos-Colts is just about to kick off. Thankfully Champ Bailey got the all clear to play, although Goodman is out. You never want to have secondary injuries when you are going against Peyton Manning, but we’ll see. Denver looked good last week. Colts are vastly better, but who knows. Let’s go Orton!

What’s more pathetic?

Me trying to find a stream of the Broncos-Lions preseason game, or the fact that I’m upset that I can’t find one?
