We live in the shadow of the 9/11 event don’t we, NYC?
You in NY me in NJ.

I remember buying a 55" projection TV on September 7th and setting it up cause the Broncos were playing the Giants on Monday Night Football September 10th. I remember inviting some friends over and having a great time watching the game until Eddie Mac got hurt.
We won 31-20 but life changed forever the next morning.
I hope we never forget.
So many stories, so much to remember.

And, of course, for the morning survey!

I put out a flag this morning; one that flew on a 9/11 memorial field years ago. I was dismayed that I had to run out in a cold downpour to do it, but only momentarily. It was a small inconvenience compared to what so many suffered that day, and in the days since.

Never forget.

Nice interview. He comes across as intelligent, articulate, and congenial.

Peace.

Thanks. Lots of really interesting reads. Prisco is already 0-1; His comments on why the Broncos loss make no sense to me…….

We should start a calendar pool for when Seymour reports to the Raiders. I say we offer our good friends the Raiders a 6th round pick for him as a “cut your loses proposal.”

A couple things I’ve noticed this week thats being overlooked.

The Bengals are expected to win this home game, yet they can’t even sell out on the first week of the season. It should be easy to keep the crowd out of this one.

Ochocinco seems to be more preoccupied with being an actor than a player, hopefully he can continue this trend and lay an egg this week.

Carson Palmer can’t be in great game form either. Anyone remember how long it took Peyton Manning to get in the groove last year after missing preseason.

Looks like the Broncos are being setup for an upset.

I would much rather we showed enough so that next week I am not tempted to look for the opposition being at less-than-full strength. Go Broncos! Show me the feast you prepared for dinner!!!!.

Interesting timing with that article about Rick Upchurch. I am playing a softball game tomorrow against Rick Upchurch and 10 other retired NFL players. They will all be signing autographs after the game. I can’t wait to take the field against these NFL Players, but I’m most looking forward to meeting and playing against Upchurch. I’ll take some pics and do a fanpost about my experience.

…LOL

Just make a list of former Broncos that don’t deserve to be there. It’d be a shorter one. Guess they need to work on building an extension to the stadium to make the ring big enough to accommodate all these ‘deserving’ folks.

I turned on the radio and heard a second plane had just crashed into the WTC. I already had a TV in the classroom, and when the pentagon got hit the kids in the class were terrified. It was just unreal that we were under attack.

I was supposed to go to the Broncos game that following weekend, but the NFL moved all of the games to the end of the season, so I went then. (Denver lost).

I hope we get OBL’s head on a platter, and a Lombardi trophy too. But I want the head on the platter even more.

Here’s my theory on why Richard Seymour(notes) balked at reporting to the Raiders after being traded by the Patriots for a first-round draft pick last Sunday morning: Inside information. For two-plus years, Seymour had been exposed to Randy Moss(notes), whose career was revived after being shipped from Oakland to New England. I’m not exonerating Moss for having been a dog during his time with the Raiders; I’m simply saying that he likely had a very negative impression of his previous employer relative to his current one, and I’m guessing he wasn’t shy about sharing. Then, a month ago, the Patriots acquired defensive end Derrick Burgess(notes) from the Raiders, reportedly for third- and fifth-round picks. Now Seymour had someone in his position meetings who, I surmise, couldn’t contain his elation about having escaped a dysfunctional franchise for a first-class organization. Think Seymour heard a few horror stories about life with the silver-and-black? I do.

Good point. Seymour is living in a horror movie right now…
