CJ Anderson wants to be called "BAM BAM"
Yesterday I published an article highlighting CJ Anderson's amazing 2nd half run. In it I referred to his style of running as "beastmode." CJ saw the article, tweeted out the link, and had this to say:
Leave beastmode 2 my brother money I'll stick with BAM BAM

You got it CJ, "BAM BAM" it is!

Pat Bowlen
About a year ago I broke the news on MHR that Pat Bowlen would be stepping away from his day to day involvement with the Broncos because he was battling Alzheimer's disease. I've written some introspective things about players and chronicled some very heart-wrenching subjects, but that by far was the most difficult post I've ever written. Pat Bowlen is the Denver Broncos. Pat has grown his business not only into one of the most successful in any industry, he has done so with a grace and spirit of giving that is unmatched.
Mr. Bowlen is the reason our team is a shining beacon throughout the Rocky Mountain Region. You don't find owners with the character Pat possesses. Thinking about the Denver Broncos without Pat Bowlen is like losing a family member or loved one--they will never been replaced.
I know Mr. Bowlen is still with us and his example is strong enough to continue to provide the gold standard upon which the Denver Broncos SHOULD operate. But the time will come where the stewardship of the Broncos will be passed on. On that day, a piece of the Broncos spirit will cease to exist. Hopefully before that time comes, John Elway can pass Mr. Bowlen the franchise's third Lombardi Trophy proclaiming throughout Broncos Country that "This one's for Pat!"

Patriots gonna Patriot
I'm not going to waste time to rehash what's been going on back and forth with this latest Deflatriot drama. (Dibbs on the term "deflatriot"). But I have to bow down to the masters of the cheat and give props where they are due. When in doubt, change the meaning of the language people are using to convict you.
"Deflate" has gone from meaning "to let the air out of" to a slang term developed by McNally to refer to "losing weight" to becoming a vague adjective to be used for a litany of descriptions.
It is ridiculous to see the Patriot rebuttal grasp at such straws, but it is what it is. Cheaters gonna cheat, Patriots gonna Patriot.
In fact when I think of the "Patriot Way" this about sums it up for me:
