I'm talking about the badass pass rusher from Carolina who's gonna be a free agent. Oh, Greg Hardy. I'd love to see him, too, but I can only imagine he'd warrant a bigger contract than Jared Allen.

Jared Allen and Kevin Hardy are two free agents Denver might kick the tires on. Kevin Hardy? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Hardy_(linebacker)Wiki says he's 40 years old, so I really hope you have the wrong name or else Elway needs to get his head checked.

Some Bronco fans are hoping that the Broncos can (or let walk - I can't remember if his contract is up or not) Jack Del Rio and bring in a DC with some attitude; and I agree. The Broncos have gone from the most astounding team in football to the butt of late-night jokes, and it's well deserved after their pitiful performance on the biggest stage of them all. I want us to look like San Francisco and Seattle on Defense; hard hitting, physical and loud. I want guys that'll hit you and make you apologize, just like Seattle has right now. As long as I've been watching the Broncos I can only think of a handful of guys that embodied that type of spirit: John Lynch, Brian Dawkins, Al Wilson, Darrent Williams, Elvis Dumervil, Von Miller and Kevin Vickerson. We need guys that can tackle (I get that the defense was gassed, believe me I do, but when it takes 5 guys to bring down... Golden Tate, I believe it was, and he still scores, something's wrong) and that's been a problem for the Broncos for years now. Bring in a guy who has the 'kick ass and take names' mindset and let's make this defense nothing to f*** around with. The offense is there already talent wise, and I believe this team to be 95% of the way there; getting a smash-mouth defense is the last piece of the puzzle. Fortunately we have a guy in the FO that understands what it takes to bring the Lombardi back to Denver, so I have more confidence in Elway than anybody else, and he'll get it done. I cannot disagree enough. Del Rio was the saving grace for a defense hurt by front office mismanagement, player stupidity, injuries and a scumbag now residing in Maryland. If we give him some help this defense will be fine. I just want attitude. If JDR can light a fire under the guys than so be it, I just want whoever will implement a hard hitting defense that makes offenses scared. I want a defense that makes offenses play scared, like Seattle did to us. I wasn't around for the 80's Raiders, but going off highlights and NFL Film stuff, that's what Seattle's defense reminds me of and that's what I want us to look like, as well. We have pieces in place on Defense, but if had the right mindset this team could win the Super Bowl next season guaranteed.

So apparently the rest of the NFL is looking up at San Francisco and Seattle In my opinion, going forward, the AFC is going to be looking up at the NFC. Until teams like Kansas City and Indy really settle into their roles and become REALLY good and begin to dethrone Denver and New England at the top of the pile, the NFC has all the hot, good teams right now; the Eagles are doing big things on offense, Seattle is Seattle, San Fran is tough as nails and were one C-Kaep glory throw away from going to the Super Bowl, Carolina is just a step away, as is Arizona. NFC's top dog right now, and I believe that the power has shifted back to them and will stay there for a few years. That's not to say an AFC team won't win the Super Bowl for another decade, but the NFC is the conference to beat right now.

if Nirvana and Grunge didn't blow up and take off like it did?
I just switched over to the Classic Rock station, and "Rocket" by Def Leppard was on; out of all of Def Leppard's work, "Rocket" may be the most 'arena metal' song I've ever heard from them. Just totally shameless and over the top.
It got me to thinking how glam metal really dominated the late 80's, and that in turn got me to thinking how it more or less completely died off when Grunge (and to a lesser extent Thrash Metal) hit and blew up.
However, let's rewrite history for a minute. Let's say that these guys never got together and wrote this song,
What would popular music have been like in the 90's? Would Hair Metal have continued to reign supreme, or was its downfall an inevitability? If it was, what could have taken Grunge's place as the nail in the coffin?
Personally, I have no clue what the popular music landscape would've looked like without Nirvana and Grunge. I mean, when you listen to a lot of early 90's pop, it's so similar to 80's pop that they're indistinguishable, so without Grunge and that whole cultural change I think it's a possibility that the 90's could have just been 'The 80's: Part 2'
What say you, FAN?

Dude's a putz. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}"Every now and then, we will attempt to write the worst sports column on earth. Today: Let’s talk about Peyton Manning and a career full of disappointment." ...

Well, when all we ran were screen and dump-off passes, of course they were able to decipher his hand signals. We made it incredibly easy for them because they took away all of our options on offense.

This is interesting. twitter.com/incarceratedbob/status/430802836750745602I guess this guy's gotten a few things right before, like Peyton coming to Denver, so it'll be interesting to see if this holds true or not. Hopefully management really isn't that superstitious because the orange uniforms kick ass. I also wonder if this means a whole new logo or just different colors.

If we're doing cold weather stadiums, It'd be cool to have it up at Invesco. Denver's a really cool city and upgrades have been made to the stadium lately that might make it more attractive to whoever votes on that.

I was beyond dissapointated with how Peyton played yesterday. I've seen him lose close, but not like that. You almost never see him look that bad, and he did. 8 points for the first members of the NFL's 600 point club is just ridiculous and stunning to fathom. I used to be a Peyton apologist. Not anymore. I was disappointed with the way he played, too, but I fail to see how the loss last night was all his fault. O-line gave up, receivers couldn't get open, Peyton threw terrible, terrible balls and special teams played so bad even the Redskins think they sucked. Did he have a hand in the Broncos loss? Absolutely, but can it all be pinned on Peyton? No. And I also fail to see how this one, solitary game erases everything he's done for his entire career, including coming back from a tough injury and multiple surgeries to take an entirely different club to the Super Bowl.
