Well,  I thought this year's commercials were a bit lackluster.  I mean, some were downright awful (the Coke Simpsons one comes to mind) and the typical GoDaddy Danica Patrick ones are just getting old!  Not that I really liked them to begin with... I know a lot of my friends loved the e-Trade ones, but I don't particularly find those that funny either.

But I thought there were a few to write home about.  Here were my favorites, let me know yours!

Wow, so things are pretty heated these days, I thought light-hearted post might do us some good.

Ok, guys, as most of you know, I'm a Cutler apologist.  However, as you hopefully also know, I'm not blinded by my Cutlerism and I do recognize his flaws as well as his contributions in the firestorm that got him shipped out of Denver and traded to the Bears.  I'm a realist and I understand the reasons why he is no longer a Denver Bronco.  I also recognize that there really isn't much of a reason to post these links aside from the fact that there are a few good tidbits of insight from our star CB into his state of mind regarding this offseason. 

However, I do feel that with as much flak Cutler gets on this site these days, it's only fair to our former QB to get a little bit of positive pub every once and awhile.  So, here are two fairly recent links:

Champ Bailey on the Waddle and Silvy Show (Chicago Talk Radio)

Cutler not interested in endorsements yet

The first link is interesting in that many of us (including me) were reading into Champ's initial comments regarding the Cutler trade as Bailey not viewing Cutler very favorably.  If this interview is any indication, that was not accurate assessment.  The second link is hopefully ... well, I guess for Bears' fans ... an indication that he is indeed maturing off the field and will show improvements on the field as a result.  From a former fan's perspective, I think the accounts of what he has been doing off the field and his comments regarding focusing on football are highly classy and professional.

Yes yes, I know what you are going to say: "Tunga, you need to move on"... I've said the same thing myself several times in comments for other posts!!  But as a self-proclaimed Cutler apologist, I just couldn't let these positive stories of Cutler not get posted, when all the negative ones do...

Anyways, for what its worth and for those few remaining Cutler fans out there, enjoy the links!   =)

So, I heard this morning on M&M (Mike and Mike in the Morning) that they interviewed John Clayton and that J-Clay, a hof voter, claims that the voters were voting on Shannon Sharpe as a WR, not a TE.   And that if that's the case, his chances are greatly diminished to make it in this year due to Chris Carter and Andre Reed having better overall numbers than Shannon.

Ummm....

Errrr....

Right!  This makes absolutely no sense or logic whatsoever... except to further our evidence of the "Anti-Bronco Bias" that has been an hallmark of the hof voters for so many years.  Shannon was not a WR, he was a TE, what's so difficult about that?!  And oh btw, he was a TE that helped revolutionize the position to what it is today and retired owning almost every major receiving record ... by a TE.  Even if these voters are looking at him as a WR, how about his 1 statistic to weigh in with the rest of the individual numbers: 3 Superbowl Rings.

To M&M's credit, they also think this makes no sense, and that Shannon should get definitely get in, if not this year, then at the very least sometime in the very near future.

In any case, let's hope this will not be the case and Shannon gets his well-deserved first-ballot honor.

Here's to hoping everyone has a wonderful holiday, spent surrounded by family, shoveling ungodly amounts of food and beer down your throats, and enjoying some not-so-great football (ho hum, Lions and Rams...)!!!!  You guys rock and this is the best Bronco site of all time!  =)

Go Broncos!!!

Oh crap... need 25 more words... um, well, I think for the first time this year, I will be picking against the Broncos.  I really hope I'm wrong!
