This really sucks and I think my 16 year old is taking it worse than everyone...
One of those terrible reminders that all of this bullshit is exactly that - don't take your time with family for granted.
Let your kid talk a lot. Bring up conversations even if you don’t want to. Getting the grief out helps them so much. Us too.
Praying your family is filled with love, grace, peace and hope. [Reply]

My family is full of terrible people. Kind of a bummer. [Reply]

Sorry to hear. Wishing you and yours safe travels and all the best dealing with the situation. [Reply]

Even outside the SOS-weighted DVOA, on which I'm still not completely sold, the Broncos are above average in every meaningful statistic. Not historic like '12-15, but still probably playoff level.

But many are STILLL DELUSIONAL! Check out these gems from the Mange. :-)
So 3 win teams are "playoff level?" Division Winner or WC? Both options are on the table... :-) [Reply]

So wait? If the refs call things in their favor they are a 7-2 team? So they are aware that they got favorable/bullshit calls for YEARS when amongst a drove of their own. Add opposing teams fans into the mix and they suddenly have no idea what you're talking about. :-) [Reply]

Here's a nice one....
"Switch out VJ for Kubiak and keep every other coach and player the same...and I think we win the AFC West this season.":-):-):-)
Yeah, that Kubiak/Kessum combo...would have them at 8-1.
They STILL think they are a play-off caliber team after going 5-11 and currently sitting at 3-6.
They haven't had back-to back-losing seasons in many of their lifetimes...it's entertaining to watch.
I do hope they muster enough pride to beat the Chargers at home.... [Reply]
