Question... has there been a year when the team achieved something great that was not part of some conspiracy? The Tebow OT win vs PIT... that surely was manufactured by the league as well, no?
Did the league clear a path for Manning to sign in Denver over other clubs?
I mean, the 4 SB losses were legit ... league sanctioned and uninfluenced beatdowns of monumental order. We have no issues with those, but ... but, the 3 SB wins - were without a doubt and unmistakenly a league mandated code orange to ensure they won. Same with the scheduling oddities, for some reason - there's this desire to give Denver and just Denver that advantage in the first 2-3 weeks of every season.
Got it. Everything bad -- legitness. Everything good -- league manufactured.

Duh. Deferring payments is a way of subverting the salary cap to keep more players. Being able to retain more good players than the rest of the teams in the league is the single greatest advantage a team can have. That is why there is a salary cap. To cheat the salary cap is one of the most agregious forms of cheating in sports, if not the most.
Those two championships are tainted no matter how hard Broncos fans try to downplay those violations.
