Haley fired in KC. Good....it won't matter who they bring in though until our tight owner (Clark Hunt) starts spending money and our GM (Scott Pioli) does a better job evaluating talent and drafting.

Jay Glazer just reported that Tony Sparano got the axe too.
I think Sparano was starting to understand what it takes to be a "great" head coach. He's still too conservative although has been better this year. He stopped running such hard practices and letting vets rest a bit more and have more fun. The team is responding although they laid an egg against Philly.
Tebow!!
Didn't the CBA put an end to the "hard practices"?Quote:

It did in that you can only have one hard day a week (or less). But the lengths of his practices have gotten shorter and he's loosened up allowing the team to have a little more fun. Tony micro manages a bit too much and he's always believed in working players really hard. He's finally learning (maybe imposed by the CBA) that resting your older veterans more is better. While he's opened up the offense more this year he is still way too conservative in the 4th quarter, playing not to lose rather than trying to win. He's constantly settling for FGs when he should be pushing for TDs and two score leads. He doesn't seem to understand that opposing offenses with their backs against the wall and a full 4 downs tend to score TDs at a higher rate than the first three quarters.Quote:

It appears "Tebowing" is here to stay.
The Global Language Monitor website says it acknowledges that the word Tebowing -- the act of taking a knee in prayer during an athletic contest -- is now part of the English language.
In today's online world, that's practically the equivalent of gaining acceptance to Webster's Dictionary.
:D Tebowing is here to stay for good it appears. Can't wait to read mors comments and reaction on this little tidbit of info.Quote:

I'd hate society a lot more if I thought more than 50% of the participants were actually taking it seriously. I actually wouldn't really think it's even that high, but I'm going to hedge my bet.Quote:

Seriously ESPN???? Having a debate RIGHT NOW on whether or not the Green Bay Packers are the best team in history??? Ask the 2005 USC and 2007 New England Patriots teams on how that turned out.
Good. Maybe now they won't win the Super Bowl.Quote:

Skip Bayless is the dumbest "analyst" on the planet. If ever the phrase mouth with no brain needed to be used, it is to describe that moron. All he does is say the most controversial things he can get away with to create talk. Besides all of that, he's an avid Cowboys fanboy, which makes me hate him that much more.
Meh. I don't think he's always bad. He's usually better than whoever is sitting across from him on First Take.Quote:

As much as they've pussified NFL football, I'm surprised it's only 1 game.Quote:

thats nothing new, thats how it works now anyway, all positions are started too early thanks to massive free agency in part. Aron Rodgers is one of the few who came up the way they made most players come up in the 60s and 70s. You developed your skills for a couple years on a team and took your spot when you were developed/ready..while guys are now, possibly, bigger,stronger,faster. They arent as well schooled in their craft as before. They are very athletic but not technically sound/prepared.Quote:

he may not have a golden arm, but obviously , being a QB involves a million other tangibles and he appears to have most of them.
yeah like playing behind the league's best defense the past 6-7 weeks. They have the #1 run game in the league and if you remove Tebow they still rank #4.Quote:

And absolutely nothing wrong with that formula..Just would be nice if the defense got the bulk of the credit..instead the defense is supposedly playing better all because of Tebow. Hell Elway even said they have been considerably lucky during this run lolQuote:

Actually Tebow's running and scrambling ability probably does have a lot to do with him getting better looks.Quote:

I've come to the conclusion, that it's all by design. They're just trying to set Tebow up to break Elway's record for most 4th quarter comebacks immediately in his career. Most 4th quarter comebacks record today, MVPs, Super Bowls, fixing the world financial markets, finding peace in the Middle East and making Mother Theresa religiously look like a hobo tomorrow.
No wonder Elway wants to deal him out of town.Quote:

The reason the game isn't laughable is because the defense is stopping the other team from scoring. And I'll give Tebow credit when he misses on a pass he really misses his WR rather than throwing right to the opposing defense. You do that and you've already won half the battle IMO.Quote:

This is a feel good story, the teams with real aspirations to win the Super Bowl aren't fearing the Broncos
Unfortunately if the Denver Tebows beat the Pats this week, all the Tebow blowjob givers will say SEE! Yet they don't know that NE has the worst defense in the league.Quote:

But I will say it is amazing the numbers he puts up in the 4th quarter especially after how terrible he plays in the 1st 3. It's like a switch........

Best. Movie. Evar!
Guarantee Tebow watches this part before every 4th quarterQuote:
