.

"Here's that BroncoBuff guy again ... Hey Buff, what happened to your boy Bo Nix yesterday? Is it true he wants to change positions to WR now?"

At least that would have something to do with football.


Quick responses elsewhere:

• No, I had nothing to do with Taco John closing the OrangeMane, although I was his alibi for having done so
• Who accused me of not appreciating what Lamar Hunt did for the game? I've been VERY complimentary, I've damn near beatified him for Sainthood in the 4 or 5 days I've been around here, he was a great man. What do I have to do? dig him up and fellate him?
• Somebody claimed "the Super Bowl Era" is a more common era for statistical analyses than the "Post Merger Era". I said I'd look it up and I did. It seems the SB Era is favored when Super Bowls are the topic, But because scheduled interplay between all 28 teams began in Post-Merger Era, that's the more generally favored era
• Dempsey again, I tried to explain we were the poorest team in the league, I gave you short clippings to read about the baseball stadium that required massive upgrades to meet NFL requirements, and explained that was the biggest problem with cash flow even after Sonny Werblin's TV contract came in

That's a big reason why we couldn't sign anybody or spend any money ... And it was Dempsey or somebody who accused the Broncos of being "horrible drafters" during the AFL days.

Au contrare!
