Week 10 Craziness

I watched the first half of the Thursday game on NFL Network with a feeling of pending doom as Denver lost more key players. Would we really go down to Cleveland and a rookie QB? What a relief with Royal (with Cheese) made a huge TD and then we recovered a fumble (and actually scored on it.)

It was a much-needed win and Broncos fans rejoiced all over the world including twitter and facebook!

Now let's discuss the Monday night game...I found myself pulling for the 49ers (even though I had a lot to gain by an Arizona win) and it was a great game! Save for some bad playcalling at the end, the 49ers really impressed me. I hope this is finally the beginning of a new era for them, it's been a long time coming. I picked them this week against Seattle...hope they pull it off.

I'd like to thank the Oakland Raiders for keeping me in my eliminator pool...I need you guys to do it again on Sunday please.

Great game tonight in New England...I took the Jets...Go Brett!

Monday Night Match-up: Denver at New England

Recovering from stomach flu for 4 day so my Broncos jersey is a little loose...but my guys are tight! Come on boys, make me proud tonight! You win, I win (my pool!)

Cutler to Marshall, for touchdown & Denver recovers and takes it home (that's what I hope to hear all night long.)

Another New England Superbowl...Do We Care?

The only thing that's got me excited about this year's Superbowl is a great new site called Jinx the Jock. It started as a Jessica Romo bashing site and has progressed. Other than that I don't care about watching another New England game. I get it, they are the best ever. Can we skip the rest and just give them the trophy now? Cuz the only thing worse than their winning again would be watching Eli Manning win - yuck!

This past Sunday I was totally cheering for Favre, I am so bummed he's not playing, then it would at least be exciting. Sorry Giants fans, I appreciate you love your team but I just hate Manning. I do like Strahan though.

I definitely have other things to look forward to on the big day, one of which is my birthday - a big one - and a house full of fun people. Plus the Superbowl 5k and beer garden kicks off the day so the rest is a blur anyway.

It's always sad when the season ends but at least I won a little money and I have high hopes for Jay Cutler in the coming years. Just hope that Lynch stays another year. The good thing about the season ending is that summer is on its way!

New England's Season Sparks Sweet Memories

It was nearly ten years ago that the Denver Broncos had their last great Superbowl Season. We went 12 weeks without a loss and each time another team does that it reminds me of that awesome time.

I was living in New York City, I was single, I was just hitting my 30s and I loved watching football in the cold weather on Eastern time. I watched Denver games in 2 different regular bars - one was brutally destroyed on 9/11 (The Marriott) and one was the Riviera Cafe. I loved watching weekly with all the other fans from another city.

I distinctly remember the 63 yard field goal by Jason Elam that season. Wow.

The irony is we discounted our game with the NY Giants on week 14 and we lost. It happens to the best of teams, the Patriots nearly lost to the Eagles, no one saw that coming. Hell, I went to a Ducks game last Sunday night expecting just another boring Pats-scoring-like-crazy blowout.

Ah the memories. Good times.
