Denver fan would rather die than watch Peyton Manning lead the Horseheads


If the Peyton Manning deal didn't kill him, the Tebow trade might have pushed him over the edge as well. Some folks take this football stuff way to seriously.

Obituary For Dead Broncos Fan Says He Hated Peyton Manning And "Wanted Out Before A Deal Was Done":

according to the opening paragraph of his obituary in the Columbia Tribune:

James H. "Jim" Driver, 78, of Eagle, Colo., formerly of Columbia, passed away Monday, March 19, 2012, at South Hampton Place in Columbia after a brief illness. An avid Broncos fan, he abhorred Manning and evidently wanted out before a deal was done.



Elway still leads the "NFL GM who most resembles his team logo" competition. JACKASS!!

He comes off looking like those LL or AAU dads that are jealous because some other kid is the star of the team, so he gets the board to appoint him manager and then trades / benches the other kid just for spite.

I'm not sure you're actually allowed to trade kids in Little League, but AAU or most travel ball leagues
I would say allow for it. As long as it's a straight cash transaction -- not trading one kid for another -- 'cause that would be just plain wrong.

Good luck on Broadway Timmy-boy. Don't let the comments of that lecherous, old, drunken, has-been Joe Namath or Antonio Cromartie bother you"

Neither one of them is worth a damn.

Cromartie's Credentials:

This Jet cornerback may be better at conceptions than interceptions.

Antonio Cromartie has nine children with eight women in six states.
That's one more kid than the eight he haltingly listed last month when asked to name his children on HBO's reality show "Hard Knocks."

Maybe the oversight is because his pressures as a pro football player pale against the soap opera of his life off the field. He juggles daddy duties for a 6-month-old girl with his wife, model Terricka Cason, plus eight kids up to age 5 from women he knocked up.

At only 26, Cromartie's conquests range from a then-17-year-old girl in his hometown Tallahassee to a lawyer and beauty queen.


The 6-foot-2, 210-pound former San Diego Charger has left a nationwide trail of paternity suits, visitation agreements and child-support orders totaling tens of thousands of dollars a month. Last March, the Jets fronted him $500,000 of his salary to pay at least $25,000 in arrears and other custody-related costs. He's in the final year of a five-year, $12.5 million contract.

Joe Namath commenting on Chad Pennington. Look how much Joe's opinion helped old Chad.

Joe Namath Drunk



This is just going to look so wrong, so awful -- Tebow with "Gang Green", but I suppose it could be worse, he could have wound up with the Eagles. Then I might have wanted to end up like that recently deceased Denver fan.


Oh well, good for the NFL. The two most popular QB's in the league -- ranked #4 and #5 in jersey sales for 2011 -- just changed teams. Conspiracy? No, just coincidence....I think.
