Don Banks' irresponsible journalism

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

"I saw exactly two Broncos games this season in person: their opener at Miami, when they got humiliated by the Dolphins, and the AFC title game on Sunday. As far as I could tell, Denver wasn't worth a darn this year. I don't even know how they got here."

I knew this guy was a spare. Watch a little more football before you open your mouth, wiseass.

Thats the worst journalism ive ever seen.

[watermock]

This guy saw our first and last game, and even says he's clueless...fvuck him...

that is pathetic

like we are the last team to have a bad game in an AFC Championship game

I suppose he can't understand how Carolina got to the NFC Championship game either

SI is the national enquirer of magazines, the only thing they do that's worth a squat is the swimsuit issue.Only SI would lets an artical like this go from a guy that has seen two fricken games and admitted it be printed.

This guy is a grade A jack-a$$. But, he's selling fish wrap. No ones gonna read just any old thing. Instead, he has to put something out to get attention. And guess what? It worked. Making outrageous statements for publicity is the status quo in this current American climate - be it in politics, sports, or whatever. Who cares what that guy thinks. I like my team, he's and idiot, and we will be back next season.

Any questions?

SI used to be solid journalism. It's degraded into something else.

I'm not really trying to start a fight, but Banks also says this in his article:

Now that was the Jake Plummer I've been waiting all season for in a big game. Two interceptions. Two fumbles lost. Three sacks. And 21 points created by the Steelers off his turnovers. The notion of a "new'' mistake-free Plummer got a lot of play this season, but I kept insisting I'd have to see him do it in the playoffs before I was convinced that his days of poor decision-making and costly turnovers were in the past.

Guess what? They're not.

I don't know how you can argue with that. I thought the exact same thing--all year. It's exactly how most people will view Plummer until he proves differently....

First of all, f^ck off. Second of all, I guess if you wait thru 18 games eventually you'll be right. Of course, he missed 16 of those games, which makes him a real credit to his profession.

[Rigs11]

Wasn't he one of the fvcktards that said Denver didn't win the game but that NE lost it. Gee I wonder if they are saying the same about the Broncos.

What, about fifteen years ago, or longer?

I loved when that piece of crap scandal mag published a piece accusing Randall "Tex" Cobb of snorting coke with his opponent before a bout and then throwing the fight to him. He sued the scumbags and won a judgement for over $10 million.

[Bronco Billy]

Is there any surprise that SI would do this? They're aren't even a first-rate magazine anymore. I already posted this earlier in the month, but here is the preseason picks from the SI "experts."

Its possible this jagov simply got one piece of hate mail too many from Bronco fans and now he's just twisting the knife a little bit.

[Bronco Billy]

Sorry. THe link is no longer valid. Only one person picked the Broncos to make it to the playoffs. That same person also selected the Lions and the Cardinals to win their divisions - AND HE WAS THE MOST CORRECT!

I read exactly one article from don banks this year in person. He got humiliated by everyone reading it. As far as I could tell, Don wasn't worth a darn in his career. I don't even know how he go hired.

[ShutDownPoster]

Its the definitive, smug ' i told you so journalism' that all these prigs have been wanting to say all year. I thought a real journalist is objective and can find a good story anywhere...

Huh?

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

F 'em. SI is nothing but a poor man's Maxim these days.

[enjolras]

Favre has thrown 9 touchdowns and 12 picks in the postseason since 2001.

Media doesn't seem to give a damn about that.

[ant1999e]

This guy is an idiot. He proved that in his last report. Who cares what he says.

[SoCalBronco]

My response to that is not fit for posting...and ive posted alot of filthy words on the media and a variety of subjects here before.

No ****!

He shreds any...err...shred of credability when he says he saw "exactly two Broncos games this season..."

What a jackass.
