Good Morning, MHR Friends. A day late with these sentiments, but our thoughts go out to all those touched by the horrific tragedy in Haiti. As for the links...if you woke up on the right side of the bed today and would like to maintain a sunny disposition, do not read Woody's column. It's one of the most toxic things I've read in the DP sports section. Guy's got a real axe to grind with Josh McDaniels, apparently.
PS. Please don't read Woodrow's column if you're planning on operating a vehicle shortly thereafter, either. It'd be a disservice to the general public if I didn't warn you...

Thanks Doug.
This Haiti situation almost makes me glad we missed the playoffs. Imagine us having to go into SD in a few days, while Doom is dealing with 40 or 50 members of his family being in Haiti after all of this. That would be tough.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.
Why has nobody made a live-action game of Chutes and Ladders? I'd be first in line.
at least now we know why Paige is such a …. McDaniels didn’t listen to him about what to wear
you have to be freaking kidding me if that is even partially true — who says that crap?? who would then brag about having said it??
Woody would
He’s a clown. He’s admitted he doesn’t really even like sports—but he sure does like pulling down paychecks from Dean Singleton and ESPN.

I wonder if he's not halfway kidding there...
In the past Woody’s acknowledged that he’s pretty much playing the role of class clown, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s being ironic when he complains that McDaniels doesn’t listen to his advice. but, on the other hand, it’s possible that Woody has been around Denver sports for so long that he really things he knows more than McD. And to be fair Woody is technically correct about the hoody – from the perspective of a long-time denver fan it just doesn’t play well when a head coach seems to emulate a rival in such a personal fashion. Imagine if Shanahan had shown up to coach the Broncos with his hair slicked back, in a white leisure suit and some gnarly old-man glasses with bejeweled straps hanging off of them <>

“…On the other subject, I have sat two feet away from McDaniels, just the two of us, and I said: “Lose the hoodie. Get your own thing.” He paid no attention. He stuck it in my face…"
Hahaha, I love it. Coach doesn’t pay attention to Woody, and he throws a hissy fit because of it. Josh has got to be crying with laughter right now.

Torain?
A little off subject, has anyone heard anything about Ryan Torain? Apparently he looked pretty good last preseason before getting hurt again. Sad that someone with such potential can’t get his career started.
Last I heard, he was still a free agent.
There was some talk, too, on the Texans blog of him going to Houston.
I agree with your sentiment, it’s a real shame because he certainly can play (despite the injury-prone, upright running style). Maybe Shanny can look into bringing him back in Washington.

Wow...
I get the impression Woody doesn’t like Josh too much! Can’t believe I actually read that piece of s*** article. You did warn me Doug!
Woody
All upset that McD isn’t his own man. Of course listening to Woody and ditching the hoodie after being told to do so wouldn’t be acting as his own man, just Woody’s man. Which I think highlights Woody’s real displeasure.
How do you keep the Broncos Humble?
"Just show them the film. Show them the film." - Josh McDaniels
Woody, woody, woody
Let’s see Josh wears a hoodie to pay homage to his mentor. This is like a QB wearing #7 because the like John Elway or Eddie Belfour use to wear #20 in honor of his goalie coach Vladislav Tretiak. I don’t care what Josh wears, I care about the kind of coach he is. Josh always wears a hat, though, just like Bobby Turner. Oh my god, Josh is turning into Bobby Turner. It’s not like the hoodie says Patriots on the front.

I couldn't take it and posted a comment on DP to Woody
(To spare you having to look back through the bile over there, here’s what I wrote):
Woody, for all that is decent and holy, please stop writing about Josh McDaniels. You obviously have an axe to grind with him and have since he started. I mean, McDaniels should lose the hoodie because Lord Woodrow told him to? Who’s the arrogant one here? The Broncos are clearly going in the right direction in the future, and he deserves a chance. I can’t say either of those things about you, alas. This is just sad.

I actually read Woody’s column before this was up..and by god I wish I had been warned.
I dont get why I even click the links anymore, because you know it will just be a public hatefest of McD.
No wonder most Broncos fans who only read DP get infected with this negatice toxic BS….
Doesnt the page say Woody has been with the Post since ’81? hope the idiot retires soon…

By the way...
anyone have any clue why Josh’s brother gets considered for RB coach? Does he have any history with runningbacks?
Bleeding Orange & Blue in The Netherlands
no. but he IS josh's brother.
Ben McDaniels, 28, will coach his first season in the NFL after he was in charge of quarterbacks at Massillon Jackson High School in Ohio last year.
at least, that’s all i could find on ben’s resume. it was in the DP last year.
ah, sweet nepotism. so good to have you back, potentially ruining my favorite team again….
Nepotism ruins everything it touches.
I hate it and hope that McD shops around for a good RB coach before just handing the position to his brother.

Hey Woody..
ever been on a college campus in the last 20 years? Ever met anyone under the age of 40? Pretty much everyone in America wears hoodies Paige. I guess that means pretty much everyone is “A Belichik Guy” now.
What a fool.
Exactly.
Besides, it’s what he wore in New Englad, right? I doubt he started wearing it with the Pats because Belichick told him to. He probably finds them comfortable, and why would he change from that upon coming to Denver?

McDaniels explained one time
why he wears the hoodie. It is the SAME REASON that Belicheck wears one (it is a conscious choice, obviously), but it is not BECAUSE Belicheck wears one.
They both ar of the opinion that the hoodie is a symbolic gesture that puts the coach “on the field” with the players. It is a choice of solidarity with the players, and we can argue about whether that is effective, or whether it is desirable, or whether the hoodie is the right color, but it won’t change the fact that they think it is an effective symbol, and that they choose to use it.

I don’t care what McDaniels wears. If he coaches like he did for the 1st six games – all Bronco fans will love him.
If he coaches like he did over the 2nd half the 2009 season, he’ll be in Denver for another year or two before he is fired and has to rebuild his coaching reputation somewhere else (likely as an assistant).
I don’t care for Woody and I don’t care for McDaniels. Three words that describe both are: stubborn, predictable and arrogant.
Sorry Woody, but no one buys papers anymore. Your time is about up. I see no hope for you.
McDaniels still has a shot but no coach will survive if he can’t overcome his shortcomings. McDaniels will certainly need to analyze himself and make corrections if he wants to win his team over again. Woody was right about one thing. Several of the Broncos quit on McDaniels vs KC and that does not bode well for 2010. Not until Josh addresses/fixes his own faults.
I'm so angry at the Broncos right now.
Um Can you Name the several Broncos that you say quit
on McDaniels. They did not play their best game agains the Cheifs but I did not see anyone quit. I love that some people think McDaniels has lost the locker room when they have no proof of it. Before people come out with this type of stuff maybe they should find some facts to back it up.
Now Woody is a completely ignorant and has no Idea what he is talking about. He should not have a job considering how bad he writes. It is obvious he knows nothing about football and if he actually think he knows more about football and running an team in the NFL he has completely lost it

Geez
You guys need to relax. Woody is paid to be either tongue-in-cheek or stir the pot or both. And you know what? It very obviously works. I fail to understand why you care so much about what Woody writes – Josh McDaniels certainly doesn’t. He also doesn’t need your (our?) defense. Let’s watch some football this weekend, watch what the best teams are doing and turn the discussion back to personnel and strategies. And BTW, thanks Doug!
Go Broncs!
It's "just" football
agreed.
woody’s definitely a pot stirrer. i’ve been reading him since i was a kid. i hated him back then but i’ve kind of grown to appreciate him in my old(er) age. i don’t think he’s to be taken too seriously, like legwold or klis, and if you don’t like his current opinions on something you can always read his next article because they’ll be totally different.
Woody's an idiot
And not entertaining any more. His shtick was tired back in the late 80s, now that he has a national soap box from which to preach his particular brand of idiocy he’s actually gotten worse.
To borrow a wrestling term
He’s a heel. He’s just there to angry up the blood.
Maybe ‘tracks could just be a collection of links to Legwold’s pieces……
Denver Post
It’s too bad, but the Denver Post (viewers) seems to be a dumping ground for the fairweather, bi****** denver broncos fan base.
Sometimes I can get so frustrated with the irrational, redundant spewing that goes on with every broncos article.
Woody's tenure allows him to make hideous statements...
If Lindsay Jones made a statement like that she would be run out of Denver on a rail! He is nothing but a senseless old fool who has nothing better to do in life but make himself look cute…Old fool!

Rarely have I seen
such a lengthy concentration of pure drivel as the steaming pile of opinion which Straw Man put out in his mailbag. Check out photo 15 in this “Broncos Coaches Leaving” photo gallery at the DP. I know, it will take some time, I’ll wait.
Clearly McDaniels has infected Dennison, and now Dennison is off to the Texans. I wonder if some brave reporter in Houston will stand up to Dennison and ask him point blank to remove his offensive attire. I doubt it. I don’t think there is a reporter on par with the quality of Woody in Houston.
All this time, I though McDaniels was wearing hoodies because he liked them and they are comfortable, Denver being in a chilly, rocky mountain state and all. Now I realize the truth: if straw man asked me directly to do (or not do) something, I would do the exact opposite too. WWWPD? I truly don’t know, but whatever it is, don’t do it.
The Broncos have to get rid of Chris Simms. You can thank me later for suggesting he should start in Washington. If he hadn’t played this season, we all would have thought he could still play. He can’t.
Please don’t put “we” in statements like that, even if it is the editorial “we”. You know, Straw Man, most of “us” here at MHR were emphatically against playing Simms BECAUSE we knew he couldn’t play. No one takes being wrong and turns it into “gimme gratitude” quite like Woody.
Everybody reading this mailbag knew that a year ago the Broncos needed a major upgrade on the defensive line, but McDaniels knew better than us. He didn’t draft anybody. He didn’t make a big splash for the two great available free-agent defensive linemen.
Ahhhhh, Woody. This is your namesake here: classic. McDaniels didn’t do anything with the D-Line: he surely didn’t pick up Holliday (HUGE impact in sacks and helping Doom and others to sacks), didn’t trade for Smith (less impact, but played well in rotation), didn’t sign CFAs Baker (looking good for the future) and Pedescleux (unfortunately injured). He didn’t jettison all but three of the d-lineman from the previous squad, giving Peterson (a rotational guy on Shanny’s squad) and McBean (a depth afterthought) starting jobs (McBean did quite well, Peterson just OK) and Thomas in a rotational job at which he performed admirably. He didn’t sign Ronnie Fields for peanuts to be a workhorse starting NT. Nor did he pick up Darrel Reid or Robert Ayers to play situationally on the line.
Surely, what he should have done was sign Chris Canty (he of 8 solo, 5 assisted tackles and 0.5 sacks in 8 games this season) or Albert Haynesworth for even more than the record-setting $100 million he got in Washington. I know, I know his deal is loaded in the fifth year with a $29 million load of bonuses, and surely he will be cut before then after making $48 million in four years. That still would leave them having to take a crippling hit on their salary cap for the next three years. No player, especially a guy who hasn’t played a lick of 3-4 (AFAIK) and only played 16 games once, his rookie season, is worth crippling your team financially.
Or were there two other great available free agent defensive linemen that you were talking about? No, I see where you are going with this Woody: surely we should have drafted BJ Raji or Tyson Jackson instead of Knowshon with our first pick.
McDaniels, honestly, thinks he knows more than you or I or anyone else outside the program, as he has indicated publicly. I like your trade suggestion, and if I were the coach, I’d listen to you. Will it happen? I don’t think there is a chance.
You know what Woody: McDaniels does know more than you (SOOO much more…). And me. And most people for that matter. About football at any rate. Doesn’t it feel good to say “that trade will never happen…”? It’s so safe. Trades are so rare in the NFL in the first place, that claiming one specific trade will not happen is almost a guaranteed win. WAY TO WALK ON THE WILD SIDE WOODY!
Well, I can’t do this anymore. If I keep going I’ll be here all day, and there is probably some sort of character limit on these comments anyways. Good day Broncos fans, go Broncos!

Don’t forget – Raji and Jackson were gone by the time we picked, and it doesn’t seem possible for us to have moved up to get them. It’s certainly possible we’d have taken one of them if possible.

I'll take issue with a couple points you raise PBW
First, see my post above – Woody’s in the business of selling media; he’s not a football coach, player, scout, etc. and will never be so simply ignore him if it gets you that riled up. Second, yes, there are writers and other media figures in Houston just like Woody – believe me – I live here. Third, it’s disingenuous to suggest that “we” knew that Simms couldn’t play prior to the season that just ended – you’re pulling a Woody. The jury was way out – no one really knew as the guy had been out of football a couple of years prior to the season. We may “know” now, but not even Josh McDaniels knew then – otherwise, he probably would have been rid of him.
Go Broncs!
It's "just" football
So you say
Woody is paid for nothing more than to spew idiotic drivel with the intention of “stirring the pot”? Well, that’s specifically what my response strikes at. Straw Man is completely superfluous to the “sporting news/analysis” world. The fact that he gets paid to do nothing more than make inflammatory, stupid, and even self-contradicting statements is a direct slap in the face of the hard working people that actually report sports news (i.e. Lindsay Jones), and even more offensive to those who don’t get paid, yet analyze and report on the topic with far greater integrity than Paige.
He talks about Xanders having some sort of “phantom job title”, it is a far greater travesty that Woody Paige is paid (and probably handsomely) to be a “sports columnist” when he can’t even write well. That, sir, is my point.
I wasn’t trying to imply that there are no “sports columnists” as poor as Paige in Houston; I was pointing out how ridiculous Woody’s obsession with the hoody is and using a picture of Rick Dennison wearing a hoody to help make my point—PEOPLE LIKE HOODIES, get over it Woody.
Finally, you are correct: I didn’t say what I meant to say regarding Simms. However, I did not say
that "we" knew that Simms couldn’t play prior to the season that just ended
In fact, I was speaking about Simms in the context of Woody taking credit for finding out he “can’t play”. This context was specifically
You can thank me later for suggesting he should start in Washington
and I believe that it is true that the majority of people at MHR did not believe Simms should start over Orton at this time. Moreover, I think McDaniels DID know about Simms before the season. He declared Orton the starter and never once wavered from that position. I think from the moment he was signed Simms was destined to be bench fodder, and that didn’t change with the Cutler/Orton trade: McD wanted a starting QB in return for our starter (and two first round draft picks :) ), and like you said, he had been out of football. It’s not often a guy goes from “out of football” one year to “starting” the next in the NFL.
No, I did not say exactly what I wanted to say about Simms. I likely would have changed and clarified that statement had I not been too lazy to preview and edit my comment. I probably should have, but then again I don’t get paid to do this. Woody does.

McDaniels has forgot more about football then anyone on this site or anyone that writes for any outlet will ever know about the sport. There is a reason he is the the NFL coaching and we are not. This is a very arogant and ignorant statement for someone that knows nothing about football. Woody is a writer that got assigned to do sports. It is obvious he has no background that qualifies him for his job. His stuff gets worse every day. You would think the people who run the Post would have fired this guy already
