    anyone else find the josh mcdaniels storyline pretty entertaining?

    guy's on his 3rd team in about 1 year.

    from coach of the broncos and drafting tim tebow
    to rams offensive coordinator
    to ne's offensive assistant (soon to be coordinator) and running the scout to team in preparation to face tim tebow.

    that's pretty crazy..


    As I stated in the Tebow thread ...

    I'm convinced that Belichick hired Josh McDaniels back as he's the guy who drafted both Tebow and Thomas .... Belichick will use McDaniels knowledge of these two in order to beat the Broncos ... then, fire McDaniels in the offseason.

    So Gruden is staying in Cincy. It's going to be really interesting to see Dalton and Green grow. Bengals can be good for a few years!

    Watching the NFC Championship game between the 49ers and the Cowboys from 1982. The players wore some big honkin shoulder pads back then. Just saw the kicker for the 49ers punt the ball with his bare foot!

    Yeah, you rarely see barefoot kickers anymore. I can't remember seeing one since the 80's. I remember the Broncos had a kicker or a punter who kicked barefoot, didn't matter if it was cold as hell and snowing (as is prone to happen in Denver) he'd still be out there barefoot. I think the shoes kickers use have really improved in recent years and kicking barefoot has become outdated and impractical. But I could be wrong.

    Yeah I haven't seen a barefoot kicker in a long time; probably since the 80's or early 90's. Kind of like hockey players without helmets I guess- you don't really see it anymore. It can't feel too good kicking barefoot as it is, but in the cold? Ouch!

    Well, NHL players have to wear helmets now, I don't think the NFL banned barefoot kicking. I think it just died out. I was reading a few reasons why on a site. One says a big reason are the K-Balls used on kicking plays. I'm not sure when they started doing that, but it's a brand new ball that's not worn in used for kicking plays. They are harder and more painful on a bare foot. Another reason is the improvement of soccer shoes in the years since the 80's.

    Yeah, not a great comparison with the hockey helmets. Just mentioning that it's one of those things in sports you don't see anymore. Interesting about k-balls, though. I found this:

    Wouldn't surprise me either ... Tebow is like the Tiger Woods of football ... so many people say they hate him, but he's putting more eyes on the sport from folks who never even considered watching.

    As a Pats fan I have to remian cautious.

    That said, they had the replay of the ealrier matchup this year between these two ... and aside from the initial 10 minutes where the Broncos scored a quick 17 points, the Patriots really did hammer the shit out of them, in Denver no less.

    One game though, anything can happen.

    80% of the TV's turned on in Denver last weekend were watching the Broncos/Steelers game. I'm thinking it'll be even higher Saturday night as the DCO is a buzz right now. Maybe the BCS and their declining ratings can learn a thing or two from a true playoff system, it's what the fans want! Go Broncos!!!
