It looks like Xanders has a strong chance of becoming the Broncos general manager. I however would love to see Mike Lombardi (Host from the NFL Network) come in for an interview. As Profootballtalk.com reported, Mr. Lombardi interviewed with the 49ers but later reported that Trent Baalke will be the next GM for the San Francisco 49ers. Mike Lombardi seems to speak with logic and reason. I think that he would be a prime candidate. What do you think?

An impatient fan base, a blood thirsty media, a senile "owner", a greedy COO, and wishful thinking when it comes to restoring a winning culture.

Long gone are the days that we can cheer on a coach who fist pumps the crowd, curses on national t.v. while it being Thanksgiving night, hip-checks his wide receivers, beats an AFC west team into the ground with his sub-par talent of a team, moves more up and down the draft board than any other NFL team, shakes the hand of an opposing coach (win or lose), calls out a team for when they are coaching their players to cheat, gives honest and straightforward pressers, a coach not afraid to go against the main-stream-media and pick-up a player like Tim Tebow, plays loud rock music at the practice sessions,  a coach who races along side his wide receivers as they score the game winning touchdown, rotates which players will be signing autographs at Dove Valley, changes the cafeteria food to healthier options, builds a team of players that are driven to win, get rid of spoiled and ungrateful wife beating wide receivers and whiney quarterbacks, and last but not least, gives several honks and a wave goodbye to the same media that screwed him over.

When I was a young kid and Wade Phillips got the boot, it felt right. Wade still to this day has yet to produce an amazing football squad. With McDaniels, it felt different. It felt as though he was going to be able to turn this thing around. I remember when Mike Shanahan came in, it felt right. It felt as though he was going to be able turn it around, even after his first 8-8 season. It even felt right when Mike Shanahan got fired. But this day, this time, it is different. I am extremely disappointed with Ellis and the Broncos organization. When you have a coach that the players are happy and motivated to play for, you don't throw that coach out on the street. Ellis said today that McD was a good coach and was going to be a good coach for another team. Ellis, if that is true, why in the world would you get rid of the guy? You need to fix the front office, not use McDaniels as the scapegoat. I needed an excuse to get out of football, the 2011 lockout and the firing of McD (and possible departure of Tebow) gives me just the right excuse. As a life long fan, I am sick to my stomach and don't see myself coming back as Bronco fan anytime soon. People will say that I am not a true fan. People will say that you stick by your team no matter what. Well people, this goes beyond football, it goes against ethics and what the Broncos USE to stand for. One thing is clear, Bowlen is no longer the man calling the shots. If Tebow leaves, I am out. What is the point of staying a fan of a team that is as poorly run as the Broncos are now run? Is football really that important?

Well now Doctor, what's your name? Doctor Auz in to operate!

All this talk about finding a new coach is making you sick. You don't need a new coach son, you need a new perspective. What the Broncos need is a new uniform, a new attitude, a new way to connect with fans, a new way about getting into the opponent's head. I am not talking about taking some pain killers and bootin' the coach or putting a band-aid on an amputation.  I am talking about drinking some orange crush and bringing back that old Mile High Magic.

The possibility of a 2011 NFL lockout looks to be likely. Millions of hard-working people pour a good portion of their income, time and energy into this sport.  The NFL not only provides entertainment to many, it also creates an avenue of escape for those that are going through and experiencing difficult times. Most of the athletes in the NFL will earn between 5,200.00 to 80,000 a week. The United States is in one of the worst economic collapses that we have ever seen. People are losing their homes and yet we see millionaires gripe about not being paid enough. I wonder what it would take to get all of the athletes, in every major sport, to donate eighty percent of their income for a year back to the public that adores them. This is obviously not a well thought-out plan, but it could at least provide some perspective on the times we face. The 2011 lockout is a frustrating ordeal for many, but the fans are the ones that suffer the most. I will personally lose respect for the entire NFL if the 2011 lockout becomes a reality. Do you really want to come back as a diehard fan in 2012? I would, if the entire NFL organization gave back to the community in a big ($$$) way. The entire league is overpaid and we should not continue to support a game that encourages youth to believe that this type of behavior is acceptable. If athletes want to be role models, then they should give back to the community that helped them have an opportunity to play a game for a living.
