Shanahan Has A New Love Now

The Broncos’ are now 2-0, but we would be kidding ourselves if we didn’t admit up front that Game 1 was won by Jason Elam and Game 2 was won largely with luck and some skill thrown in for good measure. I am, for now, one happy fan. What I am not happy about is Mike Shanahan’s continued bitterness over his break-up with Jake Plummer. Get over it Mikey! You act like a stripper who received a bad tip and now wants to write a “Tell All” book about the politician. You are not always right – you coached the Raiders for God’s sake. (Humility man!)

Shanahan loves Cutler and Cutler loves Shanahan. Great, we get it. Carve your initials in a tree. The kid is not John Elway, so stop with that comparison, which is both annoying and insulting for the King of Denver. For everything that Shanahan is saying about Cutler in today’s Denver Post, let me remind you, he has thrown interceptions in every game to date as a starting QB for Denver. Let me also recall some factoids surrounding Jake Plummer, just for the record:

First of all, Denver is a hard city to play football for, we demand excellence on and off the field and Plummer came in on the heels of THE #7. The Broncos tried to dress him up in Elway’s clothing rather than allowing him to be his own QB. Secondarily, Plummer won more than 70% of his games as a starter. Off the field, Jake dealt with the friendly fire death of one of his best friends, a run in with some red necks while driving, and insults about his mother while on the sidelines. (And may I say that he shows incredible restraint – mess with me driving and I am going to show you a place in the embankment and though I may agree with your comments about my mother, say them to me out loud and with disrespect and you are getting more than my finger pal!) Through all of these challenges, you did not see the ginger pats on the fanny that Shanahan delivers to Jay –Jay, nor did he support or defend Plummer in the media. Shanahan has a salacious appetite to win as he has not taken a team to the Super Bowl ~ No, John Elway took us there, be real.

So for Shanahan to say that Jake only loves football on Sundays and that he likes that Jay actually loves football and is a student of the game, just goes to show how little class this man has and lessens his integrity as the leadership of our team. If these are your true colors Mike, then go back to Oakland……
