La La Land of Pre-Season Feel Goods

by Mike Clark on Mar 2, 2009 4:40 PM MST Comment 103 comments

Well here we are again just a handfull-of-weeks from the draft and the official opening of the "La La Land of Pre-Season Feel Goods! "

I apologize for my long absence but Shanny getting fired kinda threw me into a weird dizzy that causes a village idiot like myself to crawl into my 'I don't get it box' and hide. To my dismay I come back to find Cutler trade talks started by ???? by either Cutler or the Team..........who cares........I think Cutler will be on our team for a long time. The important point in this post is the opening of La La Land to all the fine members of MHR.

Being MHR's official 'Village Idiot' and guardian of the gate I thought it best that I remind you the laws of visiting La La Land. Many moons ago Zappa helped me set out a set of rules--kind of a constitution................

We have all heard about La La Land, but here is your official guide to La La Land. A Constitution of sorts. Or perhaps a guide to true happiness.

1. Anything that is not good concerning the Broncos, shall not be discussed.

2. All predictions of the future must be approved by Mike Clark or Zappa.

3. Feelings such as; despair, sadness, anger, frustration, pessimism, or any other negative feeling is forbidden while in La La Land.

4. The Broncos rule all.

5. Raiders, Chargers, and Chiefs have foul odor.

These rules, amendments, guidelines or whatever you want to call them are to be followed diligently at all times while visiting or residing in La La Land. Anyone found to be in violation of these rules shall be deported immediately to the Real World of misery and despair. Repeat offenders will be dealt with by Chuck Norris.

La La Land national motto: 13-3 Baby!

La La Land national mascot: Orange and Blue Kool Aid Man, Oh Yeaahhhh!

La La Land national anthem: Ain't No Mountain High Enough

I hope you have found this guide to be helpful and informative. May the Broncos be with you.

Remember that from the draft to the start of season absolutely no negative thoughts are allowed. Everything that happens, no matter what happens, will result in us going at least 13-3 and marching to the Super Bowl.

We will love our free agent pick-ups.

We will love and find good in every person we draft.

We will love Josh McDaniels.

We know that any conflict between Josh and Jay will simply help them grow.

We WILL make the play-offfs.

We ARE going to the Super Bowl until we don't.

And remeber our motto "13-3 Baby!!!"

Go Broncos!!!

P.S. I would like to thank Jon Tollerud for stepping in for me...it shocked me back to activity.

I am committing treason, but I am currently following the typical Raider fans season so right now I am hitting rock bottom of dejection. Here in a couple of weeks my hope will begin to rise again and by preseason I will be on a serious kool aid bender that will continue until the playoffs are no longer a viable option for my beloved Broncos. lol

To love the Broncos is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.

Welcome back Mike!

You were definitely missed in here. I was asking for you a few times when the going got rough. To me, La-La Land for us Broncos fans is kinda like a masseuse to sore muscles. You never realize how beneficial it is until you visit the masseuse. And just like La-La Land, you don’t want to leave. And if you have to leave, you are always ready to go back immediately. So I guess what I want to say in addition to welcoming you back Mike is thank you. Thank you for working out our sore muscles and getting us ready to play again. It’s not easy being Broncos fans. Not only does it take hard work and tireless dedication, but we must be in peak physical condition. All the parts must be in top working condition. I’ll bet you didn’t realize how important your roll is. It is vital! Please don’t leave again. When you leave, the MHR family suffers. We need you Mike. We need La-La Land.
