The 4-0 start notwithstanding, this never was a playoff caliber team.  So what difference does this loss make?

It was a 4-1 start. And what exactly is playoff-caliber in the NFC? The World Champs got pasted at home by Cleveland and Seattke holds a commanding lead out west. I guess the Falcons are the big dick now? Nothing is fucked here dude. It's not exactly fun to watch, this new NFL where every team is mortal as dick and anybody can back into the playoffs at 9-7 and contest the Super Bowl down to the final play. But it's something something and at least all the players are not on PED's.

Especially after this last weekend I've realized I hate this NFL. Parity? Fuck that. I like knowing who's good and who sucks. I don't want to live in a world where Oakland beats Denver at Denver by 75 points. And I don't even like Denver.

My survivor picks don't like this world either.  But at least I went down going with a crash and burn for the ages, instead of enduring the agony of Cincy fumbling a kickoff with 1:15 left and the game tied like last year.
Those Cardinals aren't red, they're yellow.  Like the Spanish!

THIS. My reasons are just because I'm in it to win it in my football pool. $500+ goes to the year-end winner and I was second, behind first by 3 points after last week. I got a total of 53 points this week, with 7 to be decided tonight. FM Betting L.

How many points do you have on the season?

Through week 6: 475. I had a nice week 6 @ 86 points. Vaulted me from 8th to 2nd. If the Bears hadn't been gutless fucks against Seattle, I would have had an extra 13 points. That's the last time I make them a "sure thing".

Can I play in your pool? I'd like $500.

Next year, sure. They don't care who plays. $2/week. $1 goes towards weekly (which is a payout of around $50) and the other dollar goes towards the yearly. How many points do you have so far, stud?

I was tempted to ask how the Broncos defense giving up 52 points to the Raiders dooms Orton's career, but then I proceeded to read the rest. The Tebow dong-chugging is just icing on the meatball cake...

QuoteThis defeat will leave a scar on true blue Broncomaniacs

QuoteOnly Tebow can save McDaniels now.

QuoteStubborn and stupid is no way to go through life.

QuoteWhat are the Broncos' playoff chances now? Well, take the Olympic record time in which veteran Champ Bailey bolted from the locker room without a peep, divide by three, and you get a big, fat zero.

QuoteSooner rather than later, the lone way McDaniels can silence the booing of Broncomaniacs directed at him will be to send Tebow marching into the Denver huddle.

"Broncomaniacs"? Do they call themselves this?

Jeebus. Pretty good. 72% Efficiency. I guess I'll be sitting at 528 or 535 (and I put some faith in the Cowboys, stupid me). But seriously, if you want to play next year, then you can. We can do this shit over PayPal, and you can rape my coworkers and me.

Or, hell, you could start now. It'd still be $2/week, but you'd have no shot winning the yearly, but weekly? You got yourself a nice shot.

"Broncomaniacs"? Do they call themselves this?

Orton was terrible in the first half yesterday. His first pass was a pick 6. And we've known for a long time that he is simply not that great at football. It took me about 8 years to reach that conclusion. So, forgive the columnist for waiting until now to recognize the folly of counting on him for anything more than caretaking of an offense hat needs Jesus to help overcome the lack of talent on that entire roster. Ol' Josh got rid of all those clubhouse cancers and surrounded himself with "winners." Such a fucking tool. He's the professional equivalent of every high school coach you've ever hated.

"My way or the highway" etc... Whatever, douche. Don't let the doorknob hit ya where Timmy's Good Lord split ya.

QuoteThe humiliation of a 59-14 loss to Oakland will forever be stamped like an "L" on the forehead of Orton so long as he wears a Broncos uniform. Whether he starts one or 12 more games for Denver doesn't really matter. Orton can never again inspire real hope in this town.

This implies that Orton once inspired "real" hope in Denver.  Did Broncos fans fail to notice that Orton was white, had a neckbeard, and was not named Barack?

One of my co-workers is a huge Broncos fan.  I figured if anyone would have noticed, it would be him because he watches every Broncos game.  So I wandered over to his office a little bit ago and he says that he did not fail to notice any of these things about Kyle Orton shortly after he joined the team.
