DPP - A Hillis sighting? Do you believe in miracles? - Dave Krieger
Right, because what matters is what the fans want, not putting the 11 guys on the field that will give you the best chance to win. Give it a rest. You know what? I already root for a team that makes decisions based upon what people think (the Mets), and it's not fun. Trust me.

DPP - Q&A: Is Hillis still in McDaniels' doghouse, and if not, why isn't he playing on short yardage? - Jeff Legwold
"So all of this may be a case in which other people like Hillis more than the Broncos' current coaching staff."
