Shanahan became coach of the Broncos when I was 8, which means I haven’t really known the NFL without him.
I understand why Broncos fans are excited about this, but is there any coach out there that will do better with that roster next year?
Another thing to think about: If the Broncos had lost the Hochuli Bowl, would Shanny be out of a job today?

@Hercules Rockefeller: Two years ago. Having unrestricted access to a pro sports team for a season means I had more access than the typical beat writer, and was able to establish actual personal relationships with the people I wrote about. So, yeah, I feel like I do have better insight than most people into this one franchise.

@Gern: Really? Because I thought I was pretty up front about how badly I sucked. Which doesn’t mean that I didn’t take it seriously and want to do well. Which had nothing to do with believing I should be allowed to kick in a real game.

Jesus Fatsis. Too lazy to use caps? I read your book and it was pretty enjoyable. The thing I didn’t like about it was the sense when I was done that you felt you were actually a pro kicker that never got a fair chance to make the team or something. The behind the scenes stuff was good though.

They were speculating on Denver’s news show last night that there’s a good chance he’d go to Kansas City. I can totally see that too. Think about it, young team, good running game (well in theory), fast defense with some skilled players. Take away Herm and they’ve got a good young nucleus. Plus you get to face your former team twice a year. Interesting possibility.

The expression on the right side of his face is calm and reasonable, while the left side is maniacal.

The net effect is terrifying. I’m going to curl up in a corner now.

Liked your book, FatSister. Comment whenever you damn well feel like it, even if you sometimes violate KSK’s policy of dispassionate neutrality.

So Fatsis spends a three weeks in training camp three years ago and all of a sudden he’s the resident Broncos expert?

@anon: yes, reader beware! i am a writer! i have opinions! some broncos weren’t very interesting and didn’t play a role in my time in training camp so i didn’t write about them! others got more attention because they were smart and friendly and cooperative and had interesting things to say! i told a story as objectively as possible based on my experiences! shocking!
