Well, it's more fun to hate a good team, right?

Now that's real acid, so I want to see goggles, people!

Now that's real acid, so I want to see goggles, people!

The loathsome Broncos are 6-0. Despite (or maybe because of) the vertical striped socks, tossing Cutler away like an old Spin Doctors CD, and trading away their 2010 1st round pick, Denver is (gak) a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Yeah. I know we don't want to think about that... but the "they haven't played anyone" argument is about as legit as the crap that flows from Glenn Beck's wordhole at this point. They could realistically go 13-3 or so, and that game at Lucas Oil Stadium December 13 could decide Home Field in the AFC. Despite pooping the bed in the 2005 AFC title game (fuckers), Denver would be hard to beat at Mile High next January.

We are living the Twelve Army's equivalent of the Kobayashi Maru test right now. Is there any bright side to Denver's ascendancy?

Of course it would have been way more fun (and easier on me) if Denver had met expectations and sucked harder than a Dyson. Sadly, they will be playing meaningful games in January while our Seahawks will (probably) be sitting in their "man caves" watching on giant HDTVs.

Particularly if Seattle is not in the playoffs, the main juice we could get watching the postseason is rooting against teams we fucking despise. Besides Pittsburgh, who makes the bile churn in our stomachs more than Denver? The stupid throwbacks... That smug little shit of a coach... All the annoying Bronco fans you've ever known, once again drunk, high and tripping balls on success. Can you imagine the agony if McDaniels actually gets to hoist the Lombardi Trophy next February? If Denver wins a 3rd goddamned Super Bowl? You'll be screaming at your TV next January for the likes of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and/or Carson Palmer to step up and stop their march to XLIV.

Unless they play Pittsburgh. Fuck the fucking Steelers.

I haven't given up on our Seahawks yet, but so far the Seattle/Denver parlay couldn't be going worse for us, could it? Shows you what my jabbering ass knows.

I hate the fucking Broncos

But not as much as I hate the Steelers. Fuck everything that franchise stands for.

I know they're 6 -0

but I’m still not sold. Even the last game, didn’t score an offensive TD until the 3rd quarter. All their points came off a short field or on special teams. Turn overs and special teams TDs don’t seem sustainable (no stats to back this up). No matter what happens this year, Kyle Orton is still a candidate for B.D.I.U. and a shit QB. Their D is way overperforming, riding sacks and an above average turn over rate to a good record, just like the Cards in last year’s playoffs. I fully believe a total collapse is still possible. Maybe this is just my inner homer screaming.

And fuck John Elway in each ear twice.

So let's see what you just said

They create turnovers, sack the quarterback, get timely special teams play, and outscore opponents in the 2nd half 76-10. Sounds look a good solid football team to me. The Broncos have won every game a different way; Special Teams, Defense, Miracle Play, Orton throwing 330 yards. Good teams find a way to win and that’s what they do. They have many different tools in their arsenal to win games and that is what they do.

Might as well

I’m digging the DKSB on Field Gulls, and we can track where one of our first-round picks may end up in the draft order. Besides that, monitoring a McDaniels/Neckbeard insurgency and mocking it when it will eventually fail is our goddamn right as Seahawks fans.

Oh, and fuck the fucking Steelers.

Off Topic...BUT

In a chat today, Matt was asked what he thought of Jake Locker, he replied “Great kid. He could probably play 5 different positions in NFL. Reminds me of John Carlson.”

Someone else asked what improvements he has made so as not to get sacked so many times by Ware, his answer: “I’m going to send DeMarcus a fruit basket before the game.”

It was a pretty good chat: Here it be.

I hate trhe Steelers more than the Yanks, Red Sox,

Gators, LSU Tigers, Auburn Tigers, Buckeyes, USC Football, UCLA basketball, Oregon everything (except track and cross country).

Not sure about Steelers vs. Stern or Clay Bennett though.

Oh, and I still love Polamlu and wish he were a Seahawk.

by LantermanC on Oct 21, 2009 9:03 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I find it hard to hate the Steelers, honestly.

There is so much that is just admirable about that organization.

Winning any Superbowls this decade is not one of them.

I love watching Roethlisberger play, and I really like Mike Tomlin. I think both are tops. I like Polamalu a lot as well. It’s hard to hate them, but it’s way, way harder to root for them in any game the past 4 years.

I hated that Superbowl game

But I don’t hate the Steelers either. I don’t have a soft spot for ’em like I do for the Jags or Pack, but I do respect them.

Personally I hate most of the NFC East and the Titans more than any other team. Including the Broncos and Steelers.

Still rooting against the Broncos this year. But it seems a pretty pointless activity at this point.

by Vasilii on Oct 22, 2009 3:33 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Fuck the Steelers. Fuck the Broncos and Fuck the Cowboys.

That about covers it.

Oh, and fuck any East Coast team that has the lead on any sports television or radio program (that means you, Patriots and Jets). Fuck them, too.

I don't hate the squeelers...

I hate the zebras who gave them the game. Moreso, I hate the NFL brass that wanted their ‘Jerome Bettis winning a superbowl in his hometown before he retires’ story so bad they were willing to turn the NFL into the WWF in the most important game of the season.

Feel the Love

I hate the Packers for intercepting Matt to beat us in the 2003 playoffs

I hate the Packers twice for making it snow in Green Bay and beating us in the 2007 playoffs

I hate the Bears for beating us in the 2006 playoffs

I hate the Dolphins for beating us in the Kingdome to take us out of the playoffs in 1999.

Mostly I hate Minnesota and turn-coat illegal-contract poison-pill Hutchinson, his agent, and all his slimy lawyers that came up with that slimy deal.

Broncos?

Eh, I honestly find this year’s team quite likeable. Obviously, them having the Seahawks pick and Knowshon Moreno being on my fantasy team helps, but there’s something fun about seeing a team dominate when they were ridiculed so badly in the offseason. I used to dislike them but I’m jumping on the bandwagon this year. :-)

Steelers no, they fail at being likeable, mostly because of their fans. On the other hand, Big Ben is on my fantasy team. So go offense! Boo defense! (Except for Polamalu…And Harrison, maybe…)

if i only still fit into my “Bronco Busters” T-shirt.

Next time the Broncos come to Qwest, we should bring back the Bronco-busters theme.

I hate the Broncos worse than the Steelers. I hate the Steelers too, but Bill Leavy and his crew even more. Denver people have hockey and pro hoops.

Seattle is like Pittsburgh: NFL, MLB…

By the way, I know now what the Rooney Rule really is about:

Refs screwing over Steeler opponents. Anyone else see the measurement from this past week’s games?

I'm probably going to get ridiculed here

But where does the hatred for the Broncos come from. I understand not wanting them to do well so the Seahawks will have a higher first round pick but I would say that the average Denver fan does not hate the Seahawks like you seem to hate the Broncos. Is it an old AFC West rival thing or something happen between us that I don’t know about.

I would say that in the 2005 Super Bowl a lot of Broncos fans were rooting for our old AFC West foe.

Good luck this year, looking forward to next years game at Qwest between the Donkeys and Gulls.

Living in Denver has been the perfect recipe

to bring my hatred out in full zesty taste.

Within my first couple months here, someone asked if I was excited about the Bronco game, I said “Not so much. I’m from Washington and am a huge Hawk fan.”

He looked at me and said in a smug knowing way, “Well, you stay here long enough, you WILL be a Bronco fan.” I wish he was joking, but simply put, he wasn’t. That pretty much sums up why I never will be a fan… that level of smugness, and a complete lack of comprehension that a person from a rival wouldn’t change tune and become a fan. Another example of the smugness— check the troll thread about the Broncos first round pick over in fanposts. Bronco fans too often are far too smug about such things. That was posted Sunday, when we were essentially in pain over yet another injury riddled likely lost season.

I’ve been to your SB Nation site (helped my buddy with who we would pick— he had Seattle for your mock draft last spring) and can honestly say that not all Bronco fans are horrible— but there are too many that display their schadenfreude right in front of us instead of from a distance, and always at the most inopportune times…

I wish...

I could control the actions of all Bronco fans and get them to act with a little bit of class. But the truth is every fan base has a group of idiots. I understand Bronco fandom when you live in Denver is intoxicating. All I can say is if you and I should ever run into each other, I will be respectful. I will always root for the Broncos but not be smug, or overbearing, or cocky.

I didn’t agree with the thread about the first round pick over in the fanpost. I think some of it is a reaction to how much people thought the Broncos would suck and suredness that the Seahwawks would get a top 5 pick from us. But still, that type of post should be saved for the MileHighReport if one feels they have to post it.

Good words, my friend. Rec'd for honor and dignity.

I pick my moments in regard to Bronco friends.

I’ll hang with Bronco friend/fans in the right context (for example, the draft) but I don’t watch games with them typically. It just is an oil/water thing, best for all involved. I was invited to a MNF beer and steak party but decided since I would be forced to root for the Chargers that it wouldn’t be the best thing for me to do. And I really love free steaks, so it was a tough choice. Now that the Chargers game is over, and the Broncos are pretty much locked into a playoff spot, I think I might take them up on future offers…

I know my tempers and frustrations, and those that know me know how to push those buttons, and what’s more, it’s hard NOT to push those buttons because I always react, and hi jinks, or at least amazingly literate passionate and slightly deranged rants ensue. It is what it is. My bronco buddies are giving me a wide berth now, and smack talk has essentially ended now that our season is on the brink…

DKSB,

I enjoy these weekly updates on the Broncos, but can you leave political jabs out of future articles? To me, your statement went over the line with what JM outlined a few weeks ago regarding politics.

Thanks again for the post.

I was going to say you are overreacting, then I re-read.

I read this last night drunk… here’s what he’s talking about Durtee (and use the reply button)…

“crap that flows from Glenn Beck’s wordhole”

Honestly last night I read that as Glenn Beck’s wardrobe. Which I actually thought would have been funnier. Dude wears some off outfits, I don’t care what your political leanings you’d have to agree on that… but yeah, wordhole is political, not taste-based. heheh.

And I agree with you. Let’s leave political pundits out of the discussion.

by John Morgan on Oct 22, 2009 12:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wait..

I understand his politics are out of the discussion, but what about his wardrobe?

Seriously, the guy is the only person I know of on TV that wears a tie and manages in a shirt and tie to put three different stripes together. I often channel surf and find him on, and have to watch him for a minute or two just to stare at the odd combos he puts together. His wardrobe looks like it should be worn by a high school science teacher who is color blind.

I know Beck more as an idea and target for criticism than a living human being. He seems so polarizing I’d rather he just was left out of the discussion completely.

I don’t follow politics at all so I don’t end up killing someone because he doesn’t vote the same way I do. I don’t even know who Glenn Beck is. Don’t care either.

that wasn’t that bad as to need to be taken out of his article though.
