Shalom Friends, (that's what Jim Nantz would say if he knew any Hebrew when he begins his broadcasts).

Anyway, it's interesting that Ty Law has come in for our secondary (pending his physical, of course,) but I think it will be a good thing. I'm fortunate to have lots of living grandparents and great-aunts even though I'm approaching 28 this coming June. Whenever we have family reunions or I visit with one of them, they provide plenty of wisdom and they're lots of fun to talk to.

That being said, we have not only one of the league's hardest-hitting secondaries (thanks Brian Dawkins!) but some of the smartest, savviest guys one can imagine. The Steelers' Mike Wallace may wish he could switch places with his 60 Minutes namesake after he sees fearsome sights from Law, Champ Bailey, Andre Goodman, Renaldo Hill, Alphonso Smith and Dawkins.

Since we all know Hines Ward likes to mix it up with defenders, the acquisition of Law would give us another tough guy who will not be intimidated by #86's antics. As for Santonio Holmes, you're a good kid, but keep your head on a swivel, my friend.

The jury is still out on Mitch Berger as I think if the Broncos don't have to punt that much, his presence will be a moot point. All you really need from a punter is good hang time and enough 40-45 yarders to keep opposing offenses at bay.

In my utopian game Monday, Kyle Orton will once again go over 300 yards, Correll Buckhalter and Knowshon Moreno will run for a combined 420 yards and Ben Roethlisberger will pay the price for holding onto the ball long enough to get your order at my local McDonald's. (before the Falcons-Saints game, I went to buy a 3rd pounder not to go and my order took 5:20, I timed it. Pathetic!)

Incidentally, on Michael Lombardi's post on the National Football Post today, he mentioned that the Broncos are 22-1 odds to hoist the Lombardi (no, it's not named after Michael for those scoring at home) trophy in Miami next February. Those with better chances, according to the oddsmakers, include New England and Dallas (who we have already defeated) as well as Pittsburgh and the New York Giants (who we both should beat before the end of the month).

I know that Vegas bookies know their football really well (New Orleans and Indianapolis currently have the best odds, not surprising), but I wonder if bias against the orange and blue has clouded judgment somewhat.

Let's rejoice in Josh McDaniels' continual quest to improve as we the fans will be the true winners for watching this classy, hard-working organization in their orange unis. GO BRONCOS!!! Oh yes, and as always, thanks for reading.
