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...

DPP - Woody's Mailbag: Armchair GMs chime in

"Even though Matt Cassel had a good season in 2008, and is a decent quarterback, the Patriots didn't even get in the playoffs." Well, there you go. Because Matt Cassel couldn't get the Pats to the playoffs, he didn't do so hotly, according to Woody. Never mind that he won 11 games...

"I looked back at every Orton start. He has a good record in 49 starts, but in at least 30 of those games, the defense was responsible for the victory and the offense was hanging on for dear life." That's some analysis. Practically scientific, in fact...

"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, your face, and the players' faces. It shouldn't be that big a deal, except we know why he wears it. He's still Belichick's man, not his own man."

How's that for arrogance?!?! Does Woody think he runs Denver and the Broncos? McDaniels should lose the hoodie because Woody told him so?
