Bronco Nailed for Scalping Tickets [Archive] - The Orange Mane

To the Democratic National Convention, that is. As per that paragon of journalism, www.profootballtalk.com.... The player is not identified in the story, unfortunately....

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/23/bronco-player-gets-nailed-for-selling-obama-tickets/

On August 28, Senator Barack Obama will deliver his acceptance speech at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Broncos players were given free tickets to the event.

The players were told that, if they don’t use the tickets, they could give them to immediate family members only.

So, of course, one of them tried to sell his tickets on ebay. And was caught.

We’re not sure whether the Broncos will even be in town on Thursday night. They play the Cardinals on Friday night, and most teams head to the site of a game the night before the scheduled kickoff. Since the game isn’t due to begin until 8:00 p.m. local time on Friday, maybe the Broncos won’t fly out until the morning.

I can't imagine another group of people who have less interest in politics. I just guessing that most of them, even those getting league minimum, aren't concerned about:

a) the economy
b) health care
c) the war or warlike intrege
d) loss of freedoms
e) whatever

I'm thinking back to myself at 22-30 and I wasn't highly motivated...as long as there was beer and women and something to do inbetween.

Why not sell them? That's capitalism at it finest.

Dude, it's obviously a crucial subject. It's so crucial that some dick-bag with a 10th grade education on an internet football board barfing up rhetoric he heard somewhere just does it no justice.

Sex is important, too... and I don't want to hear about any of your sex lives.

People don't want real political discourse, 99% of the time. They want you to hear their opinion and ignore yours, particularly in a place like this.
There ARE places to seek out real political discourse. This is not one of them, and in general... public forums aren't.

But, that's just me. I'm impressed with people who go out and work campaigns, visit schools, give lectures, attend town hall meetings, etc.

Some chump puking out drivel about hating Bush or Obama on a football forum is just silly and counterproductive.

This is America, and that's my opinion. :)

If McCain gets elected they are also electing his Vice President because McCain won't make it out of office walking. He is 71 years old now and not in the best of health. 4 years of stress that he will be under. I give him 3 years and they be fitting him for a pine box.

I work in a bar on Capitol Hill I have to listen to politics all the time. The Broncos are in pre season mode and the place I come for refuge is talking politics. Who the **** cares its the President yeah it matters a little bit but 95% of the governing that matters to the average guy is at the local level...Fire, Police, Schools, Roads. Unless you are in the military odds are McCain or Obama life will be nearly the same, save political appointees, government contractors, and the DC bar scene.

And for all the people on this forum making under 250,000, which i assume is most, you WILL NOT get taxed any more under obama's plan. He's just taking a greater percentage from the rich, which is fine with me, especially since Bush's retarded tax cuts gave them so much anyway...that trickle down economics sure worked well, eh?

Now, in all seriousness... I understand that there is a lot of nasty stuff going around in Denver right now. I have two friends that work in law enforcement around Denver that are pretty much freaked about what is going to go down. They are already finding "scary and nasty stuff" left behind in hidden places. They didn't elaborate much, but did say that they're briefed daily on new issues and concerns. The police riot in Chicago (68 I believe) is also a regular topic. Keep the city and their employees in your prayers (or thoughts) they may be tested very soon.

No doubt about it. I can tell you first hand that in Colorado you'll only find a handful of citizens at our capital talking to legislators. Everyone else there is paid lobbyist. They fill the capital like cockroaches.

It's much easier for people to sit on messageboards and complain about politics then actually getting involved though.

I really don't think most people realize they can just waltz right into their Capital building and speak their mind to their Senate or House of Reps though unfortunately.

Ok, i see where you are coming from. Look at it this way. Bob getting fat because his chiefs suck is just mean ... there is no harm in Bob getting fat other than the harm to himself.

Now lets look at McCain. He has the potential to totally screw up the US. He admits he barely knows anything about economics. He wants to widen the war on terror. Now if he actually wins the election and picks a guy who knows about economics and who is not a freaking war hawk, yes I hope he dies sooner than later. If he loses the election, I hope he lives a long...er life and has a great time.

Popps, this is a response to your PM

From the main page:
Orange Mane Central Discussion (80 Viewing)
This is our "Mane" attraction. The best Denver Broncos discussion on the Internet. Currently in "Off Season Mode." All discussion topics welcome

Hi, TailgateNut, I didn't leave you a "PM." It was a rep.

This is also from the front page:

"On-Season" Mode starts August 9th...
It's just about that time of year again...

For those new to how we do things here, during "On-Season" mode the main forum turns into NFL Football related topics only, with a few exceptions for major events (sports and life) and important community notices (like the birth of kids, and major life announcements from our Broncos brothers and sisters).

Enjoy the off topics here while you can. On August 9th, the Broncos travel to Houston to play Kubiak's Texans, and at that time, it's full steam ahead with "On Season Mode."

The guy who owns the site wrote that.

Furthermore, the thread was moved... indicating it was indeed in the wrong area.

Anything else?
