Used To Call Me Fatso

Denver has had its fair share of ‘Fat’ people come through the 303 (and/or 720, because we always seem to forget about the 720 brothers) over the years. In honor of Fat Tuesday, let’s take a look:

-Fat Lever- Lost in the Magic point guard hype of the mid-80s was the Nuggets own PG, one Lafayette Lever, affectionately known as Fat. (I’ve tried for years to shorten Lafayette, Colorado to just ‘Fat’ but no one really get’s it.) Lean, quick, and playing long, Fat consistently had more triple doubles than his western conference Showtime counterpart. His rebounding prowess was perhaps one of the best that a true point has offered in the last 25 years.

-Brian Bohannon- Baseball players usually take the cake (pun intended) for being the most atheistically unappealing fatsos in the sports realm. The Rockies had their fair share over the years (Dante Bichette was no stranger to the buffets) but pitcher Brian Bohannon certainly was the most rotund. Dude looked more like a radiator salesman than a front line pitcher. Rumor was that he could not have a rosin bag because he mistook it for a bag of powdered sugar.

-Raymond Felton- Look, the guy was in the NBA and plays at a fast level, but he’s still got one of those faces that look if you take a pin to it, you’ll get 30 seconds of deflation.

-Wade Phillips- Colorado’s coaches over the last 30 years have been the thin variety- Shanny, Jim Tracy, Dan Reeves, Bob Hartley, Dan Issel. Even the bigger dudes are just that: big husky dudes. John Fox, George Karl, even Don Baylor, who most resembled Grimace the McDonald’s shake character. Not Donks’ coach Wade Phillips though, he was of the overweight variety. Slap a key ring on that guy and you have the high school maintenance man.

-Mike Horan- He was actually very skinny; but tell me that mustache and weird perm he had rocking wasn’t creepy even back then. Exact type of dude who’d be rolling Bourbon Street chanting “show me your t*ts!”

Still Cold

It's a cold world out there, sometimes I feel like I'm getting a bit frosty myself...

It's been a solid four plus days and the orange haze has lifted, the anger and over-analysis is in full swing, and maybe acceptance is creeping in. (Given recent events, can we just say that the game was a fictional hoax?)

There's enough "came down to one play" being thrown around that the all those plays can entail an enire football game. Manning, Moore, Fox. Donk fans wish that was a law firm advertising on daytime TV.

Manning had more than one play. Three turnovers, including a weird INT in OT on a throw that not even a young John Elway could make. By game's end he looked like a creaky old dude who had been loading too much wood in the cold weather. All those zippy passes were check downs to his ever-reliable tight ends.

The kneel down (a local football coach once said "Gandhi never took a knee." If you had Dan Hawkins as that coach, plus one, and if you can envison Gandhi taking a knee as QB without chuckling, plus two) had me incensed for a few days, but now thinking back to Peyton's inepititde that he wouldn't be able to get the ball to the first down marker, much less than the opposite 40. (Although why not try a short screen to Thomas or something that might have a chance to "pop" for 15-20 yards?)

And then there was Rahim Moore. What can anyone say that hasn't already been said/written/tweeted/posted? Dude made a crappy play. Scratch that, crappy is an understatement. Diarrhea-y play?

All these "one plays" mix them togehter and we get the imperfect scenario, even four days out. A week out after watching what could've been the AFC in Denver (forecast for Sunday: 45 degrees) and two weeks in what could've been the franchises seventh Super Bowl won't help this football hangover.

Christmas SG Style

Christmas is the SG House and with it comes the tree and all the trimmmings. Like many readers, one may wonder: "what is hanging on the SG Christmas Tree?"  Falling in line with the pillars we rep here, let's take a look...

-CU Ornaments: 15 - Yes, the number of ornaments on the tree outnumbers the wins by the football team over the last four seasons.

-Beer Ornaments: 5 - The favorite is El Boracho ornamnent, which is described as "Mexican or Chicano slang for a drunkard."  Si, pass mas cereveza...Feliz Navidad.

-Rockies Ornaments: 1 - There was two, but one broke over the long storage season.  Kind of like the actual team.

-Nuggets Ornaments: 1 - Surprisingly equal to the number of outside jumpers hit by the team last night.  However, there are a couple gifts wrapped in Nuggets' wrapping paper.  If only the team played that tight of defense.

-Broncos Ornaments: 2 - One of them is a John Elway figurine that is missing his right foot.  The since deceased cat bit it off some years ago.  Damn cat was always a Chargers fan.

-Hip Hop Ornaments: 0 - Always thought a Krylon can on top of the tree might be a nice touch

Legalize and I Advertise

How Colorado legalizing the chronic will affect the various sports teams:

--"Coach Embree?  There's a Mr. Ricky Williams on line one asking if we are hiring?"

--The old 'D' Bronco logo?  The smoke coming out of the horse's nostrils?  Yep.

--CU Buffs award MJ leafs on the back of their helmets for touchdowns, big tackles, interceptions, and mastering a six foot bong.

--Coors Field humidor will keep your weed fresh and green for later use.

--All those charity "Bowl A Thon" events take on new meaning.

--Training tables consisting of chili cheese nachos and cold pizza will force Frito Lay to hire dozens of new sales reps and drivers.

--Denver Nuggets?  Nuggets?  Nuggets (followed by 20 minutes of laughter)

--It just isn't the same coming out on the field to Cypress Hill as it was to AC/DC.

--NBA Players Association asks for expansion teams in every Colorado city over 50,000 people.

--His name is Rashaan Salaam, and today he is vindicated.

Awww, Man(ning)

The popular cries from Donk Land today:

-The Falcons and Texans are the top teams in the league --- It's hard to argue with having both squads in the top five, if not top three, in the league.  And in reality, if the Broncos make two crucuail 3rd down stops in consecutie weeks, they are 3-0 and in the discussion.  But this isn't Dan Hawkins juice box football, there's no moral victories.  Games are scheduled so there's a winner and loser, no points given for "trying hard"

-Peyton Manning is "off" --- Is PFM at the Super Bowl in Miami level?  Of course not, but if someone brings Prince to perform "Purple Rain" out for him, maybe he reverts back to that level.  Peyton at the level he's at now is still better than the Bronco's last three QB options.  The problem is the coaching staff putting him in the best position to win?  How many Willis MacGahee draws can the team use?  Mike McCoy was a miracle worker last year changing to suit Tim Tebow, but his best chance this year with PFM might be just get out of the way.

-The WRs are not catching on --- When your top WR is a dude who was out of football last year, your corps are looking weak.  Demaryious Thomas wasn't there yesterday; on the long pass he should've got both feet down.  Eric Decker had good numbers, but that girly slide isn't going to get him any points or more credit union commericals.  After those three, there's absolutely no one.  Matt Willis can't get open and Andre Caldwell must have naked picts of John Fox's wife, becaus he doesn't even play.

-The draft this year is already a bust --- Ronnie Hillman is not the next Darren Sproles.  He isn't even the next Darren Stevens at this point (Hillman would get buried by Stevens and Tate on the Oatmeal account.)  And you have Brock Osweiller carrying a clipboard.  Think both of those spots could have went to help the LB contingent (oh, and congrats to Joel Mays for joining Mike Tyson in the ear remover class)?  How about an OL to come in for Manny Ramirez, who is getting abused right now.

Talent Upgrade in Boulder

Everyone see Colorado's own Missy Franklin during the coin flip of the Broncos-Steelers game? Us Coloradoans love to embrace our own, and Missy is certainly fitting that bill. She's let it be known that she will swim in college, with all the swimming powerhouses garnering looks (USC, Georgia, Cal- not sure why Grand Lakes University isn't getting any looks though. Their dive team has always been strong. )

The local school up the road from Donk Home doesn't have a swim team (or baseball, or softball, or wrestling...but we have the most gnarly Ultimate Frisbee team and you can't f*ck with our beer pong game.) Too bad, because Colorado's sweetheart would look good in Black and Gold.

However, maybe it's time for CU to get creative. Missy Franklin: Six foot plus, long, fluid, flexible, competitive. Folks, your new starting cornerback for the CU Buffs, Missy Franklin.

Peyton Says Your Done

It's pretty cliche to say with the opening of Broncos' camp tomorrow, the Rockies season is effectively over to most people. But, with the opening of Broncos' camp tomorrow, the Rockies season is effectively over.

Some guy named Peyton Manning, the legal troubles on defense, the stocked WR corps, the Hall Of Famer at corner, even the tattoo'ed kicker, will trump anything the Purp do over these next two plus months.

There's dudes on the Rockies right now that aren't recognizable to the casual fan (save me the "they tore it up in Tulsa" argument. Exactly, Tulsa. Look outside, this ain't Tulsa.) And meanwhile the Rox we've gotten to know are somewhere on the DL abyss. The pitching? It cringes just to write that word.

While the Rox hang their hat on the stellar attendance at Coors Field despite the losing, keep an eye on that. You thin they're will be 30k on a Tuesday in September? Friday night games with real high school football and the kids back in school?

So to the Rockies, basically thanks for a completely lost 2012. One where even near 500 ball would keep in the mind of Colorado sports fans. See you in Spring Training. There's a pennant behind every palm tree.

Elvis...Was A Hero To Most

Elvis Dumervil? Not a good weekend. The SG weighs in:

-Maybe Elvis should have a new sack dance, everytime he lays a QB down he lifts his shirt and goes all Doughboy, screaming "Yo, we got a problem here?!"

-Miami. South Beach. Guns. Fancy cars. Lingerie employees. Someone call Crockett and Tubbs, I think we have a mystery that can be solved in 42 minutes of prime time TV!

-Did felllow defensive "leader" DJ Williams tweet a picture of the incident?

-Further playing on the Boyz N The Hood montage from above, wouldn't it be funny to see Tim Tebow in Cuba Godding's roll punching the air in the wack crying scene? Yeah, he won an Oscar later in his career.

-Hey Peyton, welcome to Denver. One of the best defensive players is looking a suspension, the defensive captain is already out six games, and your best WR is facing a huge sexual assualt civil suit.

-Elvis and his mans were rolling South Beach listening to: a) Fresh Prince- "Welcome to Miami"; b) 2 Live Crew- "Pop That Coochie"; or c) any Miami Sound Machine jam. Because remember, the rhythm is going to get you.

Prater Gets Paid

Looks like the Donks decided to spend big bucks at a position not so accustomed to seven figures: kicker. Peyton Manning will be happy to know that there won't be any "idiot kicker" here in Denver as Matt Prater inked a big time four year deal (Prater's real ink on his right arm appears to be some weird fusion of trigonometry and Hawaiian culture, which makes sense since he's from Florida.)

While it may seem counter productive to spend serious cream on a guy who plays about 10% of the team's total plays, this move is a smart one. Prater can boom the long FGs (dudes in those wack Fantasy Leagues that award more points for longer FGs stroke themselves over him) and almost as important is his touchback percentage. Remember that Tebow guy? Yep, he was pretty dramatic, but without Prater he'd been some losing starting QB.

Xanders Exit

John Elway and Brian Xanders decided that Xanders and the Broncos would be parting ways. A few reasons behind this "mutual" split:

-Xanders grew real tired of Elway always playing Xzibit's "X" everytime they had a meeting.
-We all know how competitive Elway is, and he just couldn't stand "Xanders" being more than "Elway" in Scrabble.
-Xanders figured if there was ever a time to try his hand at being a starting piticher, the local NL baseball team up the street might need one.
-Elway is famous for his "helicopter" play, while Xanders cried everytime the copter crashed in "Airwolf" back in the 80s. That was always awkward in the office.
-Xanders never got over Elway not discipling Pau Gasol for the hard shoulder he threw in the hallway.
-Elway got word that Josh McDaniels was texting Xanders under the name "TV Repair Guy" in his phone.
-Xanders knew that if Elway wanted an official "yes man" that it would eventually come back to Sammy Winder.
-Elway was mad that Xanders ever cleaned the break room microwave, while Xanders was peeved Elway always ordered those fancy Rollerball pens while he had to toil with a Bic.

Bynum Block A Thon

NUGGETS: We heard all weekend leading up to Game One that Andrew Bynum was the key. Bynum, Bynum, Bynum. And what happens? Bynum. Let's call him block head because he altered the Nuggets entire offensive scheme. The Powder Blue Patrol has fouls up the ying yang (Birdman is good for a few rather than growing a beard and getting a tat on the bench.) We all know Bynum isn't the most stable dude in the dome, so their only option might be to hack him up and hope he cracks.

BRONCOS: I go back to the days of the Draft on Tuesdays and bringing a transistor radio to elementary school, so the whole Draftapalooza thing is damn funny. grades, rankings, three days, whatever. That said, the Donks' draft was a very mundae "eh" from the masses. Joe Wolf's son will apparently be a new defesive tackle, some short Sproles-like dude is our thrid down guy now, and we took a QB in the first three picks. Which is weird because I thought we signed some QB this offseason? Hey, I heard that Osweiller is 6-7. Does he have any fouls for Bynum?

ROCKIES: Crazy Sunday at Coors Field saw Johan Santana turn back the clock and Todd Helton provide a memorable grand slam. But a lot of the chatter before the game was about Peyton Manning and Eric Decker taking BP. Apparently Decker crushed a couple dongs into the seats. So this Decker dude is a football stud, was a baseball standout in college, pals around with Peyton Manning, is sticking it to some singer dime piece, and models in his spare time. Yeah, Decker was that dude who you hated in high school. That said, yo Decker, how can I be down? Follow me on Twitter dog.

Tim York City

You didn't listen to all the aholes out there and think the Donks had no shot at Peyton Manning, did you?

I keep it strong, while you scream word is bond...

With Mr Cut That Meat in the fold, we say goodbye to one Tim Tebow, (cue Boyz II Men "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye") who when this blog is finally put to bed (hopefully it's brushing teeth and changing into PJs about now) he'll probably be up on the SG Rushmore with Melo, AI, and that RB named Kock.

But the fun isn't over for Timmy. He's going to New York. As the old school salsa ad once said New - York - City?! (To be fair, with all of its ethnic enclaves, I'm sure that NYC is more than capable of producing some bomb ass salsa. Yeah, I just said "bomb ass" like it's 1997 all over again.)

Seriously, picture Tebow in NYC. Better yet, picture him in North Jersey rocking a skin tight Ed Hardy shirt, spiked hair, some white sneakers and two earrings. Ronnie, Pauly D, the Sitch, and Timmy Twotimes. GTL isn't God The Lord out there. He thought Denver was bad with girls fawning over him? The run on hairspray to bed Timmy is off the charts right now.

But maybe Tim will choose to live in the city. Times Square is real tame nowadays, just to see Tim strollin in ol school Time's Square past strip joints, drug spots, and check cashing joints would be priceless. Will Tim embrace the NYC Hip Hop scene? Maybe Mobb Deep has a spot for him. Tim politicking with RZA on the latest Wu tour? Will he find three chatty gal pals for a third "Sex And The City Installment"?

Football wise, Tebow and the Jets should be an experiment worth watching. Lifestyle wise, the City That Never Sleeps is getting one new resident who's in bed at 9pm.

Tebow Gets Clipped

My crew is never ever wack because we stand strong
Now if you say my style is wack that's where you're dead wrong...

Tim Tebow was all over the TV last night at the Nuggets game. Can Denver's "starting QB going into camp" mix well with the NBA?

-If Tebow is running the point, please warn the cotton candy vendors in the 13th row about wayward lob passes.

-With their son in LA, Chauncey's parents have already invited Tim to stay in his old childhood bedroom.

-The read option just doesn't translate well to the NBA. Pesky travelling rules and Nene just doesn't hit that hole.

- "Yeah Tim, the last #15 we had on the roster just didn't work out so well."

-Corey Brewer is thinking: "man, I just can't escape this guy's shadow."

-The virtuous Tebow had to walk to the concourse to avoid the sultry and scantily clad Nuggets dancers each stop in play.

-George Karl would tire of playing four defenders while Tim prays after every made basket.

Trigger Happy

PROPS and DROPS from the ridiculous Broncos' OT win over the heavily favored Steelers:

PROPS: DeMaryius Thomas absolutley abused Ike Taylor (that's not a pun either, "abuse" and "Ike")on the game winning play. Change the jersey and that's Calvin Johnson going Megatron on the Steelers. Tim Tebow threw a laser on point pass and the stiff arm that Thomas utilized should be shown to every young receiver on "how to" stiff arm. Notice Troy Polamalu completely deked in on the play? Tebow gave just enough to suck him in for a millisecond and he was hopeless after Thomas caught the ball.

DROPS: The refs again had a absolutely horrid game. More and more they are missing facemask calls on Tebow because of the way he plays. Perhaps the worst call of the weekend was the missed fumble on the backwards pass in the 3rd quarter. That was in essence a 10 (or 14) point swing since the Steelers scored and the Donks were already in FG range. Isn't there a "side judge"? Apparently he can't judge the side too well.

DROPS: We all know Tebow is careful with who he associates with, but check the graphic when he scored his rushing TD. The only other QBs to score a rushing TD versus the Steelers in the playoffs: Ken Stabler (notorious partier) and Steve McNair (murdered by his mistress.)

PROPS: Mike McCoy gets all the pub, but Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen had a great game plan for most of the tilt. Everyone knew that they would try to pound Big Ben (even when they weren't hitting him , the pocket would squeeze him) but by the game's end they were confusing him. Guys standing on the line, moving in and out of the zones, all this lead to some confusion on the Steelers' last drive and a half ass Hail Mary attempt.

DROPS: All the talk about Brady Quinn in the media was just poppycock (damn straight I wrote "poppycock".) There's no way Quinn goes in the game cold (real cold since he hasn't ben in one in three years) and does anything. In fact, conspiracy theorists unite, maybe it was the Donks who floated the rumor to keep the Steelers off balance.
