One of the trademarks of this here average at best blog is that I tend to wait a few days and then attack a story that has already been beaten to a bloody pulp. That kind of quality “journalism” is never going to stop which is why I would like to spend today talking about Peyton Manning being traded to Denver. Just kidding, of course, let’s go back to that story about the Naptown area guy who pulled a Hank Gathers on the field of a semi-pro game that no one attended. So what we know here is that 32 year old Dave Coleman, father of 5, and (former) Nap resident was playing in a very, very ****** semi-pro football league for a team out of Portland, IN (borderline Amish country and nearly a 2 hour drive from his house so you KNOW that he took this seriously). During a recent game in the Toledo area, he went for a tackle or something, did not keep his head on a swivel, and got Hines’d the **** Warded. He tried to get up. He couldn’t. He never got up again. That seems like pretty much th...

Broncos, QB Peyton Manning Willing To Make Adjustments To Offense

Though Peyton Manning's skills will be incorporated into Denver's offense, OC Mike McCoy noted Saturday the offense will also use concepts McCoy has utilized before, but are less familiar to Manning. "He wants some new ideas and to run some new things," McCoy said, citing two-back formations as an example. What won't be carried forward? "Zone read is no...

Broncos’ Brock Osweiler victim of unfair stereotype

Who says that a tall quarterback can’t be successful in the NFL? It seems to go against logic that having height like the Denver Broncos’ Brock Osweiler would be a detriment to his success as a quarterback. Osweiler is 6’7” which makes it much easier for him to see over the defense compared to the average quarterback who normally stands about 6’2”. On top of that, he...

Brandon Flowers "not too worried about Peyton Manning"

Anyone who has ever played a sport knows that you must have confidence. Sometimes one can be too confident in his/her or their teams ability.

Elway couldn't pass on Manning's heir apparent

John Elway says he had to ''sacrifice the short term for the long term'' when he used a second-round pick on Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler rather than drafting a player who could help Peyton Manning right away. The boss of the Denver Broncos was joined by coach John Fox in an hour-long conference call with 6,000 season ticket holders Tuesday. A caller...

Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers Not Too Worried About Peyton Manning And Broncos

Ever since Peyton Manning joined the Denver Broncos, the rest of the AFC West has been mentioned as an afterthought by many onlookers. After all, if last year's 8-8 squad won the division and a playoff game without Manning, it should only improve with the four-time MVP under center. Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers isn't ready to concede anything to anyone -...

Luck should look to Eli

NFL Soup makes a great point: no one knows more about emerging from Peyton's shadow that little brother and two-time champ Eli Manning. First love and history aside, Andrew Luck’s best bet to successfully follow the Peyton-era is to take a few pointers from Eli Manning. No one knows the cool shadow that Peyton casts better than Eli. No one has endured the comparisons more...

AFC West Fantasy Rankings

Confidence In The Seattle Seahawks

Recent history has shown successful NFL teams have two things in common: a quarterback that refuses to turn the ball over and a defense that forces turnovers.  The past Super Bowl champion quarterbacks have featured Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning, all future Hall of Famers.  The Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans and New York...
