Fire McDaniels! :soap:

Mammoth play @ Vancouver tomorrow night at 8 PM. Game will be live on Universal Sports Network, and if you don't get that channel it will be livestreamed for free at Universalsports.com

The Mammoth are 3-0 and the Stealth are 1-3, and we just stomped them 20-9 in Denver last weekend.

Should be good times.

Kinda surprising to hear what some of the Broncos have been saying this week. Harris and Ward tossing Del Rio under the bus and Deymarius saying that players were openly looking past Indy and some even saying the didn't want to have to go to New England.

If that stuff DT was saying is indeed accurate, it's no surprise they played the way they did.

And I dunno if Harris calling Brock Joe Flacco jr. is a put down or a compliment.

Bonzai12 · Jan 30, 2015

Joe Flacco in the Kubiak offense is a perfect fit

Frenchy, you gotta change it to CSU basketball for this one

I read that about New England and was thinking WTF. Sure I as a fan didn't want to go up there but as a player??? Wow.

What dis they say about del rio?

Yeah that NE stuff is powerful. Alfred Williams and Chad Brown were flabbergasted.

They were basically doing what we do, blaming him for not rushing Luck more, for not playing Harris on Indys best WR and for making no adjustments. Ward seemed to indicate Del Rio was keeping him from playing "his" game this season, that they put him in a different role and just stopped short of saying Del Rio was already outfittng his office in Oakland. The Fan should have the interview up on their site. He starts to clam up some near the end but it was good.

Bonzai12 · Jan 31, 2015

I know that Gase had 3 interviews on that Friday before the game. I mean the guy was basically already checked out.

Hasbro · Jan 31, 2015

Hell Fox was busy lining up another job too.

Bonzai12 · Jan 31, 2015

Damn TD robbed again. With the football life thing this may have been his best opportunity. Sad.

ColoradoSportsFan · Jan 31, 2015

No Lynch either...boo.

Well, if a slug compiler like Bettis can get in TD has a good shot next year.

Hasbro · Feb 1, 2015

Frankly I'm surprised at the momentum TD picked up this year and it maybe a case of Bettis being in the conversation longer.

Wow, that is interesting. The New England thing is a bit mind-blowing.

After thinking this through for awhile, I think the UFA keep list is DThomas first, then Knighton. If they have to choose between Knighton and JThomas, keep the former. Tough call, but I think that's the better one.

If you look at the play in which the Broncos season effectively ended, the 4th down play where CJ makes a great individual effort to get the first down but came up a foot short, J Thomas was in a position to throw a key block that could have cleared a path for CJ to get a first. And he literally ran away from it. Granted the Broncos were losing that game anyway and the quit level was pretty widespread on the team, but it it's hard to make a case that J Thomas should be a priority when you see that kind of effort with the season on the line.

tigervixxxen · Feb 1, 2015

It's pretty ridiculous the level of dysfunction, quit and misery on a freaking TWELVE and four team. I mean really.

Nzap · Feb 1, 2015

I think I'm gonna root for New England tonight.
I'd assume the name comes from the English people who settled there.

I agree.

But I would say that it is extremely possible that a lot of the players--mainly the ones who know that no matter what, they'll have jobs next year (with the Broncos or elsewhere)--felt that their coaches had just given up...and given that within 1-2 weeks of their season being over JDR, Gase and Fox ALL found new jobs. I think that speaks more to the fact that the coaches and their unprofessionalism on their way out.

Agreed. But at least now it's a little more clear why Elway cleaned house.

Should make for a nice storyline when we go play the Bears at Soldier Field next year.

Bonzai12 · Feb 1, 2015

I decided I'm rooting for New England. Not because of the teams but because one of my best friends went to the game last year and was heckled to death by Seahawks fans. I want all of them to feel the burn of paying 5,000+ dollars for a ticket only to see your team fail. Would put it into perspective and maybe mature their fan base a little; they need it.

tigervixxxen · Feb 1, 2015

The Seahawks will only be good for a few more years and then what does Seattle have? A crappy baseball team? The people of Boston don't care, they'll just hop on to the next winner.

You just described why people genuinely dislike the Seahawks and their fans...a vast number of them are extreme bandwagon fans.

Believe it or not, there are Boston sports fans that live and die by the team they follow--myself with the Red Sox for example (admittedly do not care a bit about the others).

tigervixxxen · Feb 1, 2015

I'm sure there are plenty and they lead very happy lives.

tigervixxxen · Feb 1, 2015

That was terrible. What a choke job. Good job Wilson.

I didn't watch any except that incredible catch and the int. just as well. I'm glad this season is over.

Avsboy · Feb 1, 2015

Well that was one hell of a football game.
