CBS 4

its not like this is the first time the spin stories out of control, it happen pretty much everyday!!! why cant the press be like MHR?

at some level I think they all know that this game of crying wolf is a losing game. But no one can afford to be the first to quit playing it. So the keep trying to outdo each other while the fans get burned out and disillusioned and sites like MHR thrive.

Let’s face it, who of us didn’t let out a whoop whoop (at least inside) when you found MHR.

Lombardi is far and away one of the most annoying talking heads on the Denver scene. For me it’s a toss-up between Vic and Bobble-Head Soicher as to whom I can tolerate less. His incessant gesticulating drives me insane. A close buddy of mine and I have pondered what Lombardi would do if he woke up in a bathtub full of ice, perhaps somewhere in Vegas, and discovered that someone had amputated his hands. My hope would be that he would retire, but I’m afraid they’d just outfit him with claws and he’d look even more ridiculous waving them in front of the camera when he speaks.

Obviously the local media is guilty of sensationalizing each and every tidbit of news in a transparent effort to drive viewership. However, if there is any truth to the rumor that in the past week Cutler has failed to return two of Mr. Bowlen’s calls then, gentle friends, the excrement may indeed be heading inexorably towards the fan. Let us hope this is not the case. There have already been rumblings that the owner was displeased by Cutler’s actions after the firing of Shanahan was announced—Jay’s declaration of disappointment and subsequent public absence. If Mr. Bowlen did place not one, but two calls to Cutler in an attempt to establish dialogue and Jay refused to return either call, that action could easily be interpreted by ownership as rank insubordination. This could yet get very ugly, and I’m beginning to worry that we’ll see the resolution April 25th. The fact that Bus Cook represents Cutler, in my opinion, may not bode well. I was exceptionally unimpressed by the way Cook handled the Favre saga last year.
