As Champ Bailey put it: "The clock's always ticking. You're only in this game for so long, and every time you miss the playoffs is another time you're not going to win the Super Bowl.

N.Y. Jets' Sam Alosi should have been fired for tripping incident - Jeff Pearlman - SI.com
In the real world, where 99.9 percent of us reside, whether one admits to a mistake or not makes absolutely zero difference in the end result. When, a couple of years ago, a pal of mine was accused of frequenting a pornographic website at his job, he fessed up and apologized profusely. "Sorry," he was rightly told. "You're fired." When another friend was recently axed for talking back to her boss, she admitted her mistakes and promised to change. "Too late," the chief said. "We've had enough." Steal a pack of cigarettes from behind the counter at CVS -- you're done. Curse out a customer at Cosi -- hand in your apron. That is how the world works, and no matter how many I was wrongs are uttered, well, you're toast.

i feel bad for champ, hes one of the greatest corners and classiest player he deserves a super bowl ring and extension if he wants to stay

Champ
Its hard for the Broncos and their fans to complain about how few Broncos are in the Hall of Fame if they let players like Champ get away. Also, Champ leaving to have a chance to make the Super Bowl on another team would signal his appraisal of the Broncos chances in the next three or four years. I don’t think the Broncos are that far away from being a competitive team. Of course, I never do.
Thank you for the Tracks
It sounds like the D.A. has a lot to prove against cox that will require his testimony to be damning of him.
The charges against Cox will require the state to prove that he had sex with the woman and that she was “physically helpless and the actor knows the victim is physically helpless and the victim has not consented.”
A second count will require the state to prove that Cox knew at the time “that the victim is incapable of appraising the nature of the victim’s conduct.”

thats a heavy burden of proof so I would be careful how you judge Perrish Cox. He may have just chosen the wrong girl.
Dear Santa- All I want for Christmas is a Stud NT and David Harris- Thank you!

"Teamwork divides the task and double the success."
- Unknown
He does
But I doubt he would make this type of charge unless he/she knew that they had a pretty strong case against Cox. You useally don’t go in with this high a felony charge unless you have pretty solid evidence.

Date rape drug would ease that burden of proof.
So would witnesses seeing Cox carry a passed-out drunk girl to his room or car. It’s not necessarily that hard.
Denver first.
Let's keep in mind the Kobe situation
Yes he shouldn’t have put himself in this situation, but it doesn’t automatically mean his is guilty. My best friend growing up was in the same dorm as the girl who accused Kobe, and he said if she said no to Kobe it was the first time she said no to anyone, ever. This could be a similar matter.
OR he could be guilty, and if he is proven guilty, good riddance.
There is a reason why we say innocent until proven guilty.
I'd be surprised if we don't get to see
Tebow play at some point. I think we ought to get a look at Quinn too, but I’ve been saying that all week. The “on the record” comments that Studesville makes are more like political dodging. I understand the reasoning, because media personnas are a game as well, and he’s trying to play it right.
We conquered this territory with our bodies and souls, then we watered it with our tears.
Go Denver!
Who will stay as any assistant coach after Jan 2?
I think not many. Preifer? McCoy? Ben McD? Burns? Wink? Nunnely? Gase? Who else?
I hope
Burns, Wink and Nunnely for sure. Other than that…… ???

Goodbye and good luck, Champ.
I’m so sorry, Champ. You have toiled for years on the field to get this team somewhere, and every year just brings failure. Yet you remain optimistic, you give it your all, and we fans can’t help but notice. As a fan, I’d love the Broncos to win a super bowl – not just for Bronco Nation – but for you. There’s no doubt you’ve earned it.
Now, faced with the prospect of another year (at least) of rebuilding, I have to let you go. If you stayed, you would help this team transition once again. You’d lead by example, you’d awe your understudies, and you’d make the fans proud – just as you have done for many years. But as you said recently, this career is short, and certainly for you, it is also unfinished.
Go get a ring. Even if you wear another team’s jersey when you do it, I think all of Bronco Nation will shed a tear when you hoist that trophy. You’ve bled orange and blue for so long, it’s time we give you something in return – our encouragement to follow your dream.
Thanks so much for everything, on and off the field. You will be missed.
Thank you for the Tracks
I don’t know why I never Rec the Horse Tracks…. What’s the deally-yo?
They’re more than worth the Rec. for one-stop-shop purposes alone!
I wish We could keep Champ and win the SB next year…. I already know We’re going to win the SB next year, but I’m not so sure Champ’ll get to stay…. How do I know you ask?
The Magic 8 Ball. Not just any Magic 8 Ball either…. A virtual magic 8 ball on my girlfriend’s friend’s phone (yes, there’s an app. for that apparently)…. And I asked it twice, in two different ways, with some control questions in there as well, that it opted to give the ‘try again later’ crap for each time consistently. So there it is, you heard it on the Horse Tracks first. ( =

the funniest thing
last year i got my ex an iphone.. we had gone out that same night and ended up at a friends, where we were able to partake in some tasty adult beverages.. she kept on and on and on about her phone, and how it had an ap for this and an ap for that.. so by the end of the night, after she had a little too much to drink, she ended up getting sick and she’s yelling at me to get a towel i couldn’t help but ask her if she had an ap for that LOL
I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.
