The Road to 16-0 Starts Today...

Yours, Mine, and Our Denver Broncos’ schedule was released today and solely from the initial glance at our week by week foes, I’m feeling fairly confident with our prospective chances. This unfound optimism was corralled a bit when I realized that I was, in fact, talking about the Broncos. There isn’t a person in this world who can question my love for the Broncos and I’ll defy someone to take me on in a trivia test, but with such passionate feelings comes the inevitable lover’s quarrels. They break my heart, and I take them back within the week and then volunteer to give their senile grandfather a sponge bath because “they just don’t have time.” Typical. To be perfectly honest though, if Brandon Marshall stops leaving greasy Hardees’ bags in front of his extremely breakable and expensive entertainment equipment and Jay Cutler’s mouth writes checks that his butt can in fact cash we could have a solid team. I’m not saying we’re going to win the Super Bowl, but we’re going to win the Super Bowl (that fucking optimism rearing its ugly head again.) The only games that, judging from last year’s opponent’s records, could prove challenging would be both San Diego games, our Monday night road game in Foxboro against the Patriots (no cameras allowed), back to back home games against Tampa Bay and Jacksonville in October, and our Thursday night date with the Brownies on November 6. Beyond that, the combined record of our opponent’s last year was 114-142, and that includes the Patriots perfect 16-0 record. The Patriots somehow garnered the weakest schedule next season in which their opponents only mustered a 99-157 record. Tell me how that makes any sense and I’ll tell you why Nickelback was the highest grossing rock band of 2007. Come to think of it, just don’t ask me. It’s too depressing.

Go Broncos. Only 4 months until training camp.
