Earlier today on PFT Florio made this comment:
Besides, it's not as if he'll have a choice. In the post-Pacman NFL, where it's now clear that the Commissioner isn't going to tolerate turds or the teams that harbor them, Williams might as well be coated in plutonium. No one, we predict, will give this guy a serious look-see if/when he ever gets back in.
Except maybe the Broncos.
So I took him to task and he responded

if they'd quit drafting every turd and druggie i'd quit mentioning them.
So this is what I wrote back
Touche. By the way, I check out the mill 10 times a day. I really do love it, you are the best right now at what you do. But look at the truth. The Broncos are taking the same chances as teams like the Patriots. But they sign and draft quality players as well. Cutler, Graham, Scheffler, Dumervil, Mike Bell. The Broncos have not had any players get suspended. Have they? They take chances but they get rid of the turds quickly. I am not saying they are the always making the best choices but your focus on just the Broncos is extreme.

Perhaps it's time to put the "mane" on the map and this guy gets flooded with emails from the posters here? Could be fun wouldn't you say? Except you've got many people doing some research, finding the chinks in the armor and smacking him over the head with it. Could be fun..dman

I care, this is not one guy, this site gets more hits than any other nfl site. All they do is dog on the Broncos, yes. Send him informed opinions regarding the quality of the personnel we bring in. We do not draft turds and druggies. We make educated decisions, and we give people a second chance.

Well I guess it's more glory if it's us vs the world right?
I think he is a closet Broncos fan trying to incite people against them.... so tha when the day comes it will be that much sweeter.
Sometimes the personal things pop out. I'm sure there might be a slight bias, but I'm sure there are biases to any other team.
Its called the media. Just look at Fox News.

He has bashed the Broncos even before they drafted so-called "turds".
He has consistently referred to Shanahan as Coach Teflon.

I don't know if Elway boinked his wife or what! We know our team better than he never will. Turds go thru every team in the NFL. You should of told the jerk that Marcus Thomas takes a drug test EVERY WEEK and isn't even in the program.
Yes, we have had turds with big nads that are quickly shown the trap door. Denver chose "unwise" with Clarett. (cues up knight from the Holy Grail)
Actions speak louder than words. Clarett said all the right things on draft day but quickly got his Goose On. Consider this: Al Wilson is released and buys a full page ad thanking Bronco Fans and the Organization. Pacman makes an incincere apology in a full page ad. Three hours after meeting with Goodell, he was back in a strip club. No sh!t.
As far as Marshall goes, his incident is virtually the only one in over a year, unless you count Jake's propensity to give the one fingered Mile High Salute. Ha!

I sent him an e-mail. Told him he is just hating on the Broncos. I thought he was a (UGH!!) Chiiefs' fan. They have one on four games' suspension. Broncos have none.
Who gives a rats a$$ what this guy thinks or said? The more you contact him, the more he will continue to say the crapola he does. Try not reading his rag, that will make a point.

Oral isn't Bobo's insertion of choice. Ha!
Let's not get too worked up about PFT's Bronco hatred. That isn't going to change. Why he absolutely despises Shanahan is a complete mystery. His rumor mill is worth grazing once a day tho. I guess he's a lawyer...probably keeps his clients waiting while he finishes up his web blog. Like anything in life, you take the good with the bad.
Why didn't you ask him WHY he hates Denver so much? Jelousy!! A new Mile High, excellent facilities, an owner that cares about WINNING, Excellent coach that will be mentioned with Shula and Landry someday, Over 100 consecutive sellouts. A bright star IMO, forming in Jay, Marshall and Scheff and a revamped DL and new RB that fits our style better.
People haven't even noticed how we have quietly rebuilt the roster. If Lynch can stay at his level of play, Rod gets back on Bucky and the young talent can gell, the sky's the limit. We haven't gone thru salary cap meltdowns, or rebuilding, i.e. the 30 year plan in K.C. Long Live Crazy Al and King Karl. San Diego had a complete coaching purge.

What is the collective wisdom on Greg Easterbrook, the Tuesday Morning Quarterback here?
I have read his columns for several seasons and he too has an unfailing hatred for the Broncos. He rarely mentions them in his column, is always sarcastic and making fun of Shanny and degrading Bronco fans.
Seems like many people like to hate the Broncos as much as they like to mollycoodle the Patsies.

While TMQ certainly doesn't come across as a Broncos fan, he does make an effort to mock every franchise in the league. His running joke about Shanahan's bio on the Broncos official website is kind of funny.

Part of Florio's hate for the Broncos comes from the spat he got in with Shanahan last year. Just when his site was really starting to blow up he ran a report after the Dolphins' loss that the defensive players were going to revolt against Coyer and Shanahan was on the verge of firing him.
Shanahan said Florio (didn't use his name) made it up and called him an "idiot."
Florio couldn't let it go and bashed Shanny hard after Thomas George wrote a similar Coyer story days later.

That explains why I heard it was a rumor that was refuted. It actually happened.
That also explained by Coyer was gone in January with a quickness.
There always seems to be some quiet problem going on the defensive side of the ball regarding coaching.

Do people really need to get their collective panties is a wad because someone isn't saying positive things about the Broncos? This type of thread is more at home on Extreme Skins, where they whine about any article that doesn't kiss the Skins' ass.
He is a Steelers Homo
Fixed it for ya!
He's also an ambulance chaser (Lawyer). Major tool around the team. He's buddies with a few front office workers and has gotten his slime mixed in with a scout or two for the Bengals......
He's from West Virginia, which should tell you everything........
