Horse Tracks 7/4/09 - Happy Fourth, Broncos Fans!!!

Thanks NYC
Here’s wishing you all a safe and sane celebration of freedom!

DG does indeed pick a solid team.

Let’s hope that is true for our Country as well! At least those of us that live in the good old USA ;)

Anyone else want to kick every single politician out of DC and start over with term limits? :O

Sorry for waxing political, but it is the anniversary of the most important day in our short history!

Happy and safe 4th of July wishes to everyone!

Stan Marsh said it best: “America may have some problems, but it’s our home, our team. If you don’t want to root for your team, then you should get the hell out of the stadium. Go America! Go Broncos!”

(And in honor of being happy on this holiday, I’m refraining from checking out the NFLN link above — afraid to hear what JDukes has to say. Ugh.)

Have a good safe, red, white and blue (and orange) holiday. Be safe.

My response about Champ is, let’s see how he does on the field. I don’t know how one goes from being the best to no longer the best by doing nothing. I know a lot of people are taking his age and injury into account . . . but how can we judge by not observing him? People have made assumptions from age and injury before, only to be proven categorically wrong, once the player took the field (see John Lynch).

I have a high regard for Woodson’s opinions. However, I bear in mind they’re opinions. He is a fine football mind, yes. But football minds are who had Leinart and Young better than Cutler in the 2006 draft and who were debating whether Leaf or Manning were the better QB.

Maybe those other CBs are better than Champ now. Maybe not. I want to see it first.

the other CBs praised are all under 6’ tall:
Terence Newman and Darrelle Revis are 5’11" (and Revis looks smaller to me….)
Asante Samuel and Cortland Finnegan are listed at 5’10"
I’m sure Alphonso’s too small to be a playmaker in this league, though…
