Okay, it's been a couple of decades since the broncos openly cheated to take a Super Bowl trophy away from us, and it's been almost a decade since the NFL awarded Manning a going-away Super Bowl. The broncos are largely irrelevant, so I'm going to do something I haven't done in a long, long time. I'm going to say something nice about the broncos.
They've got a million holes and are still irrelevant to the Chiefs, but there's actually some talent on that team, and it's possible they could sneak into a playoff spot. I've been impressed by some of their front seven on defense (#99, that guy with the fish name - Bonito?), and Courtland Sutton could be a really good player on the right team. Their quarterback is probably the most pro-ready rookie starter in our division. I think their top end is an improbable wildcard win, but that's better than half the teams in the league.
I'm still not going to show the broncos the respect of capitalizing their team name, though. They earned that snub for life. [Reply]

Last night, Mr. Dempsey and I were discussing how Bo Nix may well be good enough for the NFL to start gifting Denver with Super Bowls once again.
