Brian,

I assume that since you have two tickets that one is for yourself and the other is for Rick correct?

Hey Brian would you sell the tickets?

So how'd you get conned into buying into Farve's 3rd annual NFL farewell season tour?

Besides, I thought all you Farvrians went to Minneapolis for your fix. Fulfilling those grand delusions usually requires a softer target

Offer some World Series tickets trade bait for Broncos tickets RTFN, as the stock value in anything Rockies is going to plummet after tonight.

Took my children to the Denver/Steeler game Sunday, unfortunately the bad guys won . Would've had a more family oriented time taking my kids to a bar to watch the game, pretty rough atmosphere for the young ones...

That's wierd. And here I thought Brett Farve's career pretty much proved how easily-entertained Packers fans were.

Boy, this is true.

I've witnessed (and helped break up) a fistfight in my section (Packers/Vikings) and gotten drilled by a beer intended for another fan (Redskins/Packers) in the past three years. Fun times.

Football stadiums are definitely not kid friendly. Too many drunks who can't hold their liquor very well.

I wear neutral colors, regardless of my allegiance.

That's pretty bad there Bob. I went to the Seahawks/Colts game on Christmas Eve 2 years ago and some idiot fan had an open beer cup in her hand full to the rim with Bud.

They started "The Wave" on the opposite side of Qwest Field and eventualy it came around to where I was sitting. As you can probably surmise the lady in front of me went with the crowd and did the wave, beer cup in hand.

I didn't say she did it with beer in hand because by the time she got up mid-Wave I smelled like Patrick Kennedy after a night in Washington.

She could've at least have had the decency to spill a half-way decent beer on me instead of that Bud swill she had.

At the 49er/Raider preseason game I went to this fall the crowd was definitely as big an attraction as the game. Highlights were the drunk 49er fan that stood up and yelled at a probably 15 year old kid in a raiders jersey "I'll kick your @SS in front of your mother!" (the kid's mother was right next to him in a 49ers Jersey). This prompted this huge body builder looking guy to stand up and tell the guy to sit down, which he did and there wasn't any more problem with him. Add to that the guys 2 rows back smoking pot and the *very* loud discussion of the merits of Bo Jackson and it was worth the price of admission even if they hadn't played but not very kid friendly.

Dan, you weren't one of those guys who waltzed into Mile High wearing black and gold, waving an obnoxiously large flag or TT so nobody behind you could see, were you?

If so, that might have colored your Invesco experience somewhat.

Brian, how 'bout we make this Monday Night affair a little more interesting?

I'm suggesting a wager, but we'd need the webmaster's approval.

When the Broncos win on Monday, I get to pick a new (webmaster approved) forum name for you which you have to keep and use for the month of November. I won't have to worry about what name you'd pick for me, because the Broncs have basically already won.

Would the webmaster accomodate this?

Does Brian really believe his well-past-his-prime INT-o-matic can take on the Elway heir-apparent? I doubt it.

Better to be a has-been (and Favre's not a has-been) than a never-was, Rick.

What I don't get is why you'd saddle the 10 seasons of mediocrity tag on Cutler by calling him Elway's heir apparent. What did Cutler ever do to you?
Top
Posted by Dan (+457) 15 years ago
Nope, none of that stuff for me - I was pretty suprised at the amount of Steeler support there though. Even if I had made or sign or wore a jersey to support the Steelers it would not have been visible behind the woman in front of me who stood waving her obnoxiously large Broncos sign for 90% of the game - my kids (or myself) for the matter couldnt see the game...

Funny, in the 10 season of "medicrity" I don't remember playing the Packers in the Superbowl. Yes, Elway lost several superbowls, but you don't get to the superbowl by being medeocore.

Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present. The Broncos are more vulnerable than they've been in recent years. Alot of critical injuries and turnover from last year. Cutler has yet to even play a full season.

Against all this, can Farve still get it done? I say no. Brian seems to be saying no as well.
Top
Posted by Brian A. Reed (+6125) 15 years ago
Wow - I had a misspelled word. It's the end of the world! I guess I was due.

Yes, I think Favre (I can at least spell his name correctly) can get it done. The Packers are 5-1 and playing pretty well.

Denver hasn't really established itself (you know, Rick - you're awfully confident in a team that's been outscored by 58 points this season and is an Elam ingrown toenail away from being 1-6).

Still, Denver is a tough place to play (that "IN! COM! PLETE!" chant sure shocks and awes opponents in its 12th season - I'm guessing - of existence). The Broncos should be happy that the Packers don't have a running game, as Denver can't stop the rush.

Funny - 5-1 without a running game - yeah, that Favre guy really sucks, doesn't he?

I'm looking forward to the game, but I don't have anything to prove by betting on it. The Packers will still have a better record than the Broncos - and a division lead - if they lose.

The Broncos are 6-6 at home for '06 and '07. 2-2 in '07.

But I guess 50/50 is "tough" when you come from the NFC Jr. North... where even Brian Griese can stumble in off the street and make a difference.

Farvera has a lot to prove on Monday. Even if the Broncs are a defensive sieve. I don't blame you for not having too much confidence, though.

Wow, I try to say something nice about your team, and you bash them for me. Thanks, Rick!

You know, people usually play up the strengths of their team - I guess that explains the Elway fanship, though.

Just saying, the Broncos aren't quite up to the level we're used to seeing them. But they're still not Brett "Blanda" Farve bad.

Maybe the Bears would let 'em bring back Griese for one game, just to even it up a little.

hmm .... Packers 16, Denver 13, OT. So who is 6-1?? NOT DENVER! Heck, the Cleveland Browns have a better record than the Broncos. Poor, poor Denver fans ... at least the Rockies gave you a charge (and deserve a lot of kudos, I might add) and the Avalanche is decent. And... oh yeah, the Nuggets aren't bad, either. Who'd thought the Broncos would be the fourth team on the radar in Denver??

Wait a minute - see what I get when I take your word for it, Richard? I knew I spelled it (mediocrity) right. Unlike yourself, of course...

Funny, in the 10 season of "medicrity" I don't remember playing the Packers in the Superbowl. Yes, Elway lost several superbowls, but you don't get to the superbowl by being medeocore.

You're sort of right - the Broncos were in the Super Bowl three times when the Packers weren't during Elway's mediocre years. I never said the Packers were good during that time. I've illustrated my point about Elway's first 10 years in a number of different threads on here, so there's no need to rehash anything but this: Elway had 158 TDs and 157 interceptions over his first decade. That's mediocre.

Anyway...enough about that.

Where are you, Rick? I just got back from Denver - I figured I'd see something from you on here. You're as silent as the 65,000 Denver fans were about 16 seconds into overtime on Monday. Hmmmm...

As a side note here Brian, what was the reaction of the Bronco's fans to you wearing Packers gear 17 seconds into overtime?

Or had you already decided you valued your life and hightailed it out of Dodge with a smile on your face?

Brian: You wouldn't happen to know anything about a guy at the game who was dressed as a packers fan and the girls next to him was dressed as a Bronco's fan, and she had a sign that read "I am with stupid"? They we on TV.

BTW: Jinx Kuckynka has apparently left the building. Someday he will learn that as a fan of the Broncos you wait until after the game to gloat, brag, etc. But nooooooooooo... he jinxed them. There is NO other explanation for being on the 2 yard line twice in a game and only scoring 6 lousy points. We need a emoticon with some duct tape over his mouth.

Cleveland? It's a good indicator of just how bad things have been when a two-game win streak vs. teams with a combined 0-16 record sets the fans ablaze talking smack.

If you ever want to have hope again, you should show "real" loyalty and stick with the Ravens

Brian, I posted in the football thread, and figured I'd save the best for when you showed back up. I see the benefit of hindsight has given you the confidence you lacked (as the hour drew near) in your "Hall of Fame" quarterback.

Although many may ask how going to OT after hanging a whopping 13 points on the league's 25th ranked defense rates as "Hall of Fame" material

It was kind of a non-point, Kyle. Most of the Broncos fans headed for the hills immediately after the game, leaving me and several thousand other Packers fans there to celebrate. It was eerie to see so many Cheeseheads in a stadium supposedly renowned for supporting its home team. I wasn't impressed by the Denver faithful.

Oh Rick ... Still talking smack? With what, exactly? Jason Elam's having a hell of a season, that's for sure.

I never lacked confidence in Brett Favre or the Packers. I just didn't feel I had anything to prove by betting on the game. There was nothing to gain by winning a bet with you. I've got two dogs here at home and I never feel like kicking them, either.

"Hall of Fame" in quotation marks? Really? Name another NFL quarterback who has accounted for 438 touchdowns (425 passing - 125 more than your team's "best" could muster) or 153 victories. Let me know what you find.

21 for 27 (only six idiotic "IN-COM-PLETE!" chants - very nice), 331 yards, 2 TDs (on two perfect passes that covered 100 yards in the air between them) - yeah, that Favre guy is terrible. You've got me whipped.

I was sitting between a couple of Denver fans at the game who approached your level of self-superiority (read: blatant disregard for anything even resembling fact) when it comes to the Broncos. They were nowhere to be found when the game ended.

Mark Frei noticed this, too:

"On Monday night, many green-and-gold-clad Cheeseheads stayed in the stands at Invesco Field as long as the ushers allowed, toasting and loudly extolling the virtues of the Packers' victory over the Broncos on "Monday Night Football."

In my long residence in Colorado, I've never seen a Denver stadium so dotted with fans of the visiting team as I saw on Monday night. It wasn't quite Lambeau Field South, but I only know this because I couldn't go to Brett Favre's Steakhouse or down to the Green Bay waterfront after the game for a nightcap.
"

All in all, it was a fantastic weekend for a diehard Red Sox/Packers fan to be in Denver.

Just sayin' that at the tail of a "Hall of Fame" quarterback's career, you're supposed to be playin in Super Bowls. Not just happy to escape out of OT with a rebuilding middle-of-the Pack AFC team with a horrible defense.

The Broncos can only get better. With so many new faces, communication is breaking down. I imagine, if it were next year, Champ would have said "Hey Elvis, this is the play where I jump Brett's telegraphed route and take it to the house. Please don't make this the only play where someone actually gets near Farve, and hits his arm to save him from giving away the game (again)"

I like this Cutler kid though. Seems like every time he's given the ball at the end, and they need a score, he finds a way to get it done (unlike what we saw in Super Bowl XXXII ). Just seems like Mike Shanahan's lost his nerve. No excuse for not getting that TD at the end of the game. Cutler's the man. Give him a chance to win the game. Why you want the game settled on a coin flip is beyond me.
