Summer means a parade of fluff pieces. - The Orange Mane

lex · 06-12-2008, 10:10 AM

Is anyone else amused at the endless flow of fluff pieces talking up various players on the team? Its amazing how quickly some of these stories are forgotten when the season starts and people realize that being impressive in June and being impressive in September are worlds apart.

It's not all positive; I just read somewhere that Brandon Marshall eats babies for breakfast.

Kaylore · 06-12-2008, 10:13 AM

I remember they did a Q&A a few years ago during June with the man who manages the turf on Invesco field.

That's just good, hard-nosed journalism.

They interviewed Rascal?

WTF...I don't remember that.

BTW, I'm just counting down the days for the following two articles:

1) Tuten's Sled

2) We're letting the DL loose this year.

Per the original post, I think the best part of the off-season is the nation-wide optimism that sweeps through the fans.

It's like you're a kid again waiting for Christmas.

Exactly.

This is the only part of the year where Football isn't stressful. It's nice to sit back and get caught up in hopes and dreams.

Yes but they are the babies of Chiefs and Raiders fans, thus positive.

DukeWoody · 06-12-2008, 10:44 AM

Everything is better with the new car smell and a nice shiny sheen on it...it's all fresh again and the potential for great things to happen comes with no limits this time of year...The veiw of a better orange and blue dominates the landscape for me as i'm full of homeristic optimism...GO BRONCOS!!! and keep those fluff peices coming..

Don't forget the one about how it was record attendence at OTA's and how they've had more depth than ever before.

Generally I agree that people imagine their team is going to work out in all ways, but I'd say in Broncoland there is a general gloom this offseason. I think a lot of people nationally and locally don't think we'll be very good. I think we'll be much better than people think, but I would say expectations are lower across the board than they were last time this year.

Local media nationwide try to be downers so they can be "hip" and "realistic", but then throw out some fluff pieces so they can appease the angry constituents. Most of these douches base the product off the spent dollar amount and put no further thought into it.

Yeah that's me. Last year I was feeling Super Bowl, this year on the cusp of the playoffs (maybe in, maybe not), so yeah, I've come down to earth.

Still higher than most of the national ESPiN types.

Does Rascal post anymore? I agree that must have been his favorite day.

Tuten's sled always is a hot item. WE GET IT! His sled is hard to push!

As for the "D-line being let loose" that's a myth. They only really said that one year.

Brandon's new nickname, "The Dingo". He ate your baby!

Could be worse. We could have stories of hold-outs, and players who are "secretly" upset about their contracts.
