Tough loss. No one really likes losing; it’s hard to deal with. You work a full week to get ready for the game, and all the time the coaches have put in to get your game plan, the time the players put in to practice the game plan, and to come out on Sunday and not execute as well as we expect is tough. Some encouraging things, we obviously have a talented team, a good team, because as poorly as we played, it still came down to the final minutes of the game. We were still within six points with four minutes to go and we had the ball, we just weren’t able to pull it out.
It was another frustrating week for me. I did not play, once again, but I got a little closer to playing, because I actually had on pads. But that actually might have made it more difficult to deal with, whereas the week before I just had on a sweat suit. I think my ankle was in good enough condition to play, but the coaches said I would only come in in case of emergency, which it got kind of close there with John Lynch getting hurt and a few other things happening. I almost got to play, but I definitely, 100 percent, expect to play this week against the Colts, which we are all looking forward to.
I think our team matches up well against the defending champs. I think where their strengths are is in their passing game, where our strengths are in our passing defense, with all the talent that we have in the secondary. We’ve definitely improved our pass rush with Elvis Dumervil, who’s just a one-man pass rush. He makes our lives a lot easier, and he’s consistent with it, which we really appreciate. After watching the film today, we’re able to put that game behind us and move on, because it’s a long season.
But Elvis is one of the players that stood out to me. He’s one of the really quality young players that we have on this team, which is encouraging. I guess he doesn’t get a lot of credit, because he’s not very big and he really doesn’t look like a D-lineman. We make fun of him sometimes and say he looks like a linebacker from the MEAC, which is the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, a college football conference. So we just mess with him, but even though we joke with him, we definitely appreciate him being here, and I’ve told him several times to keep up the good work and thanks for his hard work. So everybody keep your eye out for No. 92. He does a great job.
Like I said before, the Colts are the defending champs, and we really look forward to the opportunity to match up against them. We think our offense has been playing really well, which in order to play well against the Colts defensively, I think it’s important that our offense does well and gives you some support points-wise, and gives you some time to rest. Because with the Colts and their no-huddle style, you don’t really get time to rest, because you’re working mentally the entire time trying to figure out what they’re thinking and what they’re doing. It’s kind of exhausting.
This will be my first time really playing against the Colts. I played the preseason game my rookie year that we won against the Colts, and then the following year, which was last season, we played the Colts and I was the nickel back then and they did not go with three wide receivers at all the entire game. They used a tight end, which was pretty much effective in taking me out of the game completely, which I didn’t like. That was a hard-fought game and I think we lost by a field goal at the end, so I think we’re all looking forward to this opportunity and I know the fans are looking forward to seeing us match up against the Colts, so I can’t wait.
I guess this is the blog, which is supposed to be about how I feel about everything on the field and off the field, and the fans claim they enjoy that stuff, so here we go. We’ll talk about some politics.
Throughout the week, I normally watch “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” which is like a political show. I enjoy the show. He’s a funny guy, and it keeps you abreast of what’s going on. But I also watch “The O’Reilly Factor,” which I just watch for comedic value. Bill O’Reilly’s perspective is so far to the right that it’s almost impossible to take him seriously.
I know they’re talking about having the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speak at Columbia and answer questions. I noticed that a lot of far-right people are saying that he shouldn’t, which doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t know, I guess that plays into what appears to me as the pretentious nature of some of America’s culture. We just think America is the best and we’re not willing to listen. No matter how much we disagree with their views, the man is pretty powerful. Even if it’s just speculation that he has nuclear missiles, I think to get him over here to answer some questions is a good thing. I don’t see the reason why we wouldn’t want to do that, especially given the position that we’re in in the Middle East. At least starting to put aside our arrogant American nature and try to communicate with people in the Middle East would probably be more to our benefit.
Like I’ve said in several blogs, I appreciate the people in the armed forces and everything that they’re doing over there and all around the world. But as far as the situation in Iraq, I think that we think that we’re America, and we can go over to an unfamiliar part of the world and totally change the way that they’ve been living for hundreds of years, because democracy works for us. It doesn’t work everywhere. A positive thing is that we freed a lot of people from oppression, which is always great. But from my experience, and I’m not a history major, there’s never been anybody that has overcome some sort of oppression or been relieved of some horrible situation without the motivation coming from those people. That’s what confuses me the most, is we expect them to take control of their country, when they didn’t have the drive to free themselves from what appeared to be oppression from Saddam Hussein.
It just doesn’t make sense to me. Throughout history, any time there’s been a group that has been oppressed that needed some help, normally the drive for freedom or the drive for liberation comes from the people who are being oppressed. I guess that’s what stands out in this situation as being a poor decision and a reflection on the arrogance of our country. I don’t think there’s been an outcry in the Middle East for U.S. occupation. I think at no point did anyone over there ask for that or wanted that. I guess it just throws me off, because reading the paper or seeing on the news how many people are dying, Americans and innocent Iraqis, it doesn’t seem to have a light at the end of the tunnel. It doesn’t seem like there’s an end anywhere near. I guess at this point, we don’t want to leave, because we’ve come over there and put the country in an unstable state and now we can’t leave until they’re stable. But they’d really never had the motivation from the beginning to liberate and stabilize their country. That was all our doing, because we thought that it would be great to have a democracy in the midst of the Middle East.
But anyway, I guess that was a lot of politics. Sorry if it was boring, but it was on my mind, and I guess the blog is supposed to be what’s on my mind.
Tigervixxen asked if I follow any of the other pro sports teams in Colorado. I’m definitely a Colorado sports fan. I have to be honest though, I’m not a big baseball guy, so I’m always aware of what’s going on with the Rockies, but I don’t really watch them. I can’t really name anybody on the team, other than Matt Holliday. I hear he’s a pretty good player. I definitely know how they’re doing in the standings, so I look forward to them hopefully making a playoff push. But this is a football town.
I keep up with the Nuggets, of course. They’re an exciting team to watch. I’ve been to a few games, some of the playoff games, and I was really excited about the addition of Allen Iverson. He’s a great player. I don’t really know what they need to get over the hump. I’m not really sure what it is, because it seems like they keep hitting a wall in the playoffs, but it seems like they have all the talent that they need. I guess a year together will help them.
My cousin had an internship here over the summer, and he’s a big soccer guy, so we went to the MLS All-Star Game that was here. It was really cool to watch how crazy everybody was about David Beckham and to actually watch the game. Soccer’s not that bad of a sport, it’s fun to watch sometimes.
The Avalanche, I know they’re consistently very good, but hockey in general is down. I’ve never really been into hockey, and it’s hard to get into it now when the games only come on the Versus channel. The only hockey team I care about is the Broncos hockey team, I’m definitely into that. Unfortunately, they don’t have any games right now, but I’ll be picking up on the Broncos hockey next season.
And the Crush, they won the ArenaBowl my first offseason here. So I kept up with them and I’ve been to a couple of the games and it’s really fast-paced and entertaining. It’s all about entertainment. It’s almost more of a show than it is a game. I always wonder about some of the players who are there and why they aren’t in the NFL. Since I’m a professional football player, I’m more interested in some of their stories than anything else, just how they ended up playing for the Crush. It appears that some of the definitely have the talent to play in the NFL. So yeah, I guess somewhat I keep up with Colorado sports. I try to, but this is Broncos Country.
As for my little war with Andrew Mason, I’m sure it helps his blog, because otherwise nobody’s looking at it. It’s so boring (just kidding). Bronco_hyde said that at least he posts every day. Well, you kind of have to in order to compete with my blog, which is only once a week and amazing each time. You have to put in seven good days a week of blogging in order to put a dent in the quality, consistent blogs that I have. I only need to put out one a week because they’re of such great quality. Andrew has to keep putting out more and more blogs just to try to compete, and I don’t need to flood the market. I give you a quality blog, once a week, and it’s better than a bit of junk every day.
I’ve noticed that Andrew has taken some shots at me on his blog. I guess I could say I’m going to take the high road, but I guess it’s a little late for that, since I’ve already taken some shots at Andrew. But I guess I have to say something nice, since he did say something positive about my perspective, which I appreciate. So I’ll say that I think his picture is alright, and I’m sure all the fans appreciate the commitment that he has to giving them some insight every day. It’s good stuff.
But as I speak, it’s Monday, so I’m headed off to do my radio show tonight, and I’m going to Grand Junction on Tuesday to open a football field that the Broncos built out there, with Champ Bailey, John Lynch, Nick Ferguson, Daniel Graham. and Mr. Bowlen. A lot of us are going out there to visit our fans out in Grand Junction, so if anybody’s out there I’m sure you guys can come see us and we’ll be happy to meet and greet.
Like I’ve said before, I think our secondary is one of the best groups as far as talent on the field, but we’re probably one of the best groups as far as being involved in the community. We started this new thing over the summer called “Broncos Champion in the Community of the Month,” and I think out of five or six of these awards, five of them have been defensive backs. So I take a lot of pride in my group for being great on the field and off.
So I’ll talk to you guys next week. All Ready.

Looks like you finaly got some critizism dom.
First of all the civil war was sparked by the amistad trial. The civil war was not started by the north it was started by calhoun (former senator for a southern state)because he did not want the africans aboard the amistad to be set free not because the north wanted to abolish slavery which it did but it didnt go to war over it but since the africans were let free in three different trials the south was angered. America in my view did go to war for oil, iraqis did not ask for help we went over because of the 9/11 attacks and the threat of nucear weapons that never were found. Now you say well then why are gas prices so high well im no expert but i think president bush has something to do with that i mean he is from texas and his family does own some oil down there and with the crisis they are getting more money because of hight prices they are making a killing down there (now this is my opinion you can have yours). Elvis wow i didnt know he was second in the league in sacks (that shows we have a great front office). I was wondering how you felt about mcnabb comments on the black quarterback, i did agree with his comments because of how they hounded mcnabb out of colledge and now because he has an injury problem. Same with michael vick everyone said he can throw the ball he cant stay in the pocket and deliver the ball, that wasnt his style he was a running quarterback and effective and did have a nice passing attack at times i mean he did throw some good balls though he didnt have the recievers to catch them besides algea crumpler. I personaly feel that the nfl is not as color blind as they appear. In this day in age i would like to think those issues were resolved but i guess not they keep comming up in sports and in politics and all over the world. I say this because a woman went on a show just to say that barrak obama (i dont know if thats how you spell it) wasnt black because he was born rich and his dad was from africa or something like that and the woman her self was black and i speak as a minority in this country i would be proud even if he wasnt black that he is running for the presidency he is representing the nation and the minorities in this country like my self should be proud to see others achieve not dog them down.
sorry for the long comment again
Not sure why I was cut off. Was on a soap box about Canada being our largest exporter of oil. They hold the fort in Afghanistan so we can ramp up in Iraq. They are an ally, and frankly 95% of the time they stand beside us. Their economy over the past 5 years has grown at rates 100 of times faster then our own. Granted we still have a border worry, but nothing like it could be. For the person to compare slavery and the civil war to iraq. There is no comparison. The sects in the middle east is what makes this difficult. They have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they will not stop fighting. Learn about the history of their country before comparing it to ours. AND yes, I am one proud US citizen. Born and raised in Colorado to be a bronco fan. Oh yeah.. Because of the spending on our war… AND of course other out of control spending, the Canadian dollar is now equal too and likely surpass the US dollar. Gas prices will really climb now!! As our price per barrel with our weak US dollar will not get that much from our number one exporter! So we should thank our Canadian friends for being there for us. Especially when we are constantly complaining they don’t offer us much.
Wow,
There’s alot of hot air blowing around this week. I think most people skip (i.e don’t read) the long-winded soap-box stuff that has appeared this week.
As for INDY – Kick ass Fox!
Fox I love your blog man, I read it every week! I’m a Colorado kid but I’m going to college out in Chicago so all my news comes from you. I really wish I got your radio station out here but all I get here is talk radio about Rex Grossman. I’m kind of disappointed that they are pulling him cuz I know our secondary would tear him up on 11/25. I’ll be at the Broncos Bears game at Soldier field so when you pick Griese and run it back make sure you look up at me, I’ll be getting beat up by angry Bears fans probably.
I bought Madden ’08 and I play along with the real season. I just played this weeks game against the Colts and you had an INT and a kick return for a touchdown. (Your speed is a 93 so I have you running them back not Hixon) so hopefully the same thing happens on Sunday. Go BRONCOS!
Its difficult to say based on the limited amount of information available about Ben Hamilton’s continuing symptoms. However, the only symptoms that I have read about (dizziness when working out, difficulty sleeping, difficulty eating) could all be secondary to positional vertigo not a post-concussive symptom complex. As a physician this sounds very suspicious for a dislodged otolith (occuring simultaneously with the concussive head trauma). This is a diagnosis that has occasionally been missed by specialists, especially in the setting of dealing with what everyone believes are post-concussive symptoms. If this is the case it could easily be diagnosed with the Dix-Hallpike maneuver and treated with the Epley maneuver (with symptoms often resolving completely in just minutes). Have the team and physicians considered this possibility yet?
Hey Fox I LOVE reading your blog! I live in Texas now but my dad is from Grand Junction, Colorado. He was real excited to hear that you guys are going out there and supporting the community, that’s awesome!
Anyways I liked hearing your political views and other things you have to talk about besides football. It brings a more “down to Earth” kind of tone that Football players don’t really have when you only get to watch them on TV.
I run Cross Country here in College and I’ve been dealing with a foot injury here for the past two weeks. It has been rough. So I know how it feels like to have to stand on the side lines and watch. Hope your foot (and mine) gets better and you guys beat the Colts this Sunday! I’m real excited for the game.
You’re my Favorite Bronco Player, GO FOX!
Fox I hope you finally play man I seen you talkin to Champ and checking his pads to see if he was mic’d up in pre-game warm ups lol it was on HBO. We need to improove the run D man and jay needs to connect with Walker . WE NEED YOU lol. Just get in there and make Manning look stupid which is hard to do but you Champ and Bly can deff do it.
ALL READY
BTW Your blog is the best blog of all-time !!!
Hello again Mr. Foxworth. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to kick the holly snot out of the Colts. This blog will self-destruct in 10 seconds……….Man! I can never get the detonation sequence right.
Any way, its great to hear that your one hundred percent now. I was really disappointed when I didn’t see you on the field against the Jags. Your experience back there was missed on Sunday. A quick secondary question. Is Hamza ready to play? I like Curome Cox but he doesn’t flow to the ball the same way. When John Lynch left the field something was in the back of my head telling me that there was a greater problem then Mr. Lynch not being on the field. Then I realized that Mr. Abdullah was injured too and I have to say with the three of you not playing I panicked. I would like this opportunity to point out several bright spots that I saw on Sunday. The most impressive was the Defenses stand on the goal line. I know the Jags stopped us on our goal line drive but what you guys did was stunning. I was impressed that the D held them for three downs. I became amazed when you guys continued by holding them for another three that ended with a turnover but I was full blown going out of my mind when you guy’s forced a field goal after another set of downs, all of which were taken from no farther away then the 5 yard line. I think something clicked for the Broncos defense at that point. I know that the Jags marched down the entire field to set up this grand stand but that was nothing to them taking nearly 10 shots at the end-zone from basically the one yard line and coming away with nothing more than a field-goal. Most impressive. Denver has never matched up well against the Jags. Their kind of like the Ravens in that respect. For some reason you will always be talking about a team that is just as likely to beat us as not no matter what their record is. On Elvis Dumervil. When we drafted Jay Cutler last year I nodded my head and said it was fantastic. I had him as the highest rated QB since Payton Manning but when we drafted Elvis I jumped through the roof. When I read all the periodicals and listened to all of the analysts say that he wasn’t big enough or tall enough or that his college numbers would not translate to the NFL, I thought “you just keep saying that, this guys going to get drafted and the team that gets him is going to get a wreaking ball on the defensive line. He’s to fast, to strong, and his height gives him an incredible advantage. The thing that amazes me is that he’s running through guy’s that have literally got their arms pushed up against his throat on nearly every play. On the political front let me say this. I know why I continue to think that Denver does have the best fans in the world. I doubt you could go to any other NFL team site and see the collective emotion, intelligence, and courtesy that your blog has generated this time. When I say I can understand what the Iraqi people are going through I mean to say that I’ve witnessed it first hand, not that I fully understand what their feeling or thinking. My blood is in the sand over there as is some of my friends blood. Now we have more American blood being spilled on the glassy particles that make up that country. When I was there in the first war we new that Saddam had chemical and biological agents and we were sure that a great many elements of nuclear technology were also in his possession. We also knew that he was already in the process of shipping them to Syria, where they are to this day. Yes there is an oil concern and yes the President should have been more open with this aspect of us returning post 9/11 and yes there is a terrorist link to why we went to Iraq but for all intents and purposes that is not as important as the fact that our men and women in uniform are over there living and dying right now and we have to support them. #80fan made the comparison between this country and the Roman Empire. While others have echoed the same sentiment I’d like them to consider both the validity of their statement and what it would mean if it were true. Yes the Roman Empire was a conquering nation at it’s height of power. It was so immense that it afforded the Roman people a great many things. For instance those who were actual Roman “citizens” were given a medallion. This medallion could be fashioned into a cloak pin or broach or simply worn around the neck. On it was the seal of the Roman empire and three simple but powerful words. “I am Roman.”. So feared was the power of the Empire that no would be murder, mugger, or highway man dared attack an individual wearing this medallion for they knew that doing so would result in the entire might of the Roman military machine being brought to bear on their country men and women. Today American military men and women have been sacrificed in the name of peace and freedom in greater numbers, in more countries for more years than any other country in history. If for some reason the United States government issued a similar medallion to its citizens for a similar purpose then my response might be “Its about time.” As a last Iraqi point I do agree that the Iraqi people need to help our soldiers and they must want them to be there. I believe they do but I also know that they come from a sever and terrible history that no American can sympathize with. Imagine for a second that you are an Iraqi living in 1980′s Iraq. Your eating dinner. Your hungry, tired, and frustrated. Your children want for nearly everything. You loose your temper and mutter to yourself that you wish Saddam would die. Unknown to you, your younger brother, who has been living with you since his village was nerve gassed by Saddam, overhears what you said. The next evening you sit down to dinner and before giving your little girl the small reassuring smile that you give her before every meager meal, the front door crashes in. Fear and rage grip you. Standing there is the Iraqi’s secret police that specialize in “quelling political dissidents”. Behind them is your brother, whose own wife and child died in the gassing. You realize as you and your entire family are dragged out to your eventual, tortured death, that he turned you in for the meager $100 dollar reward. Imagining that this type of terror could ever exist is not as difficult as imagining that it has truly been destroyed. But it is happening. The Iraqi people are beginning to help and things are getting better there. I do know one thing. I’m proud of my countrymen, all of you out there and I hope as we watch the Bronco’s duke it out with the Colts that we enjoy our great freedom. And for Mr. Mason who’s comments to you I have noticed along with comments about my own postings..hows that for false platitude? Thank you Mr. Foxworth for this blog and I apologize for taking up so much space in it. Have a great game against the Colts. Dominate!
Mike in San Diego.
bronco hyde
your a blind mouse being led by other blind mice. Know your history, I am a teacher who has taught on the subject. The character in the book is loosely based on the individual. Uncle Tom Lived in southern ontario and WAS a real life person. Who do you think was getting all the slaves out? A ghost?
The insult came from the rich white slave owners hating what was happening. It is really sad how most americans are ignorant to their own history. I am not trying to insult american people, but your educational institutions teach you a history they want you to believe, not reality. Do some research on the subject and you will find the truth..
Secondly, Iraqi’s never asked for america to be there and to make a general statement like every heart yearns for freedom is just rediculous. those are your beleifs not everyone’s. If you think it wasn’t about oil your insane. Why isn’t your almighty military going into Darfur to stop true genocide where people truly are calling for your help?
Simple…no Oil there.
http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.php?id=334&storyID=5623
Knuther,
I am not bustin on americans or even trying to insult them or anything like that. As a people you are a great culture. But you have to understand that not every person shares your values.
And learn a little more about the world bud. In no way what so ever does canada need the US. We have all the natural resources, we have all the water, we have amssive reserves of oil (check alberta oil sands, atlantic off shore and northern canada).
we have a stronger economy. We can make and sell anything to any county, it just happens to be its easiest to sell it to you.
You like to belive that you keep us safe, but the truth is we are not at risk because we don’t invade or antoagonize other countries.
Without canada on the other hand the US would crumble. You get the majority of your energy from our hydro, and please don’t argue just because you don’t want to believe it. Research and see the truth. All of your finished products are made out of our natural resources, that is why fee trade is so imortant to you, you import from us.
lastly your a fool to believe yours is the greatest country in the world.
Take a look at how big and poor you lower class is, you have no health care and a poor educational system.
Canada is consistently ranked as one of the highest standard of living in the world. And was number 1 for almost a decade, untli jsut after 2002 where japan and sweden were able to over take us. The US however, in compared standard of living.
And no i’m not french, but isn’t it typical that you would stereotype an entire culture. that pretty much racism but. what do you have against the french? that they were smart enough to know that Your leaders were lying and didn’t need to get involved in a BS war?
so dom
what are some of the weekly rituals in the lockeroom it’d be intresting to hear.
i’m a little sad that you had to get into the political thing, i think its awesome that you keep up with it and have your own opinion but i think there are A LOT of fans out there that really don’t pay attention to what is going on and will snatch up anything they hear from a celebrity and take it to heart whether its good or bad i think america needs to do some of their own soul searching not just yours.
good luck against the colts i’m expecting a nail biting win!
The character in uncle tom’s cabin is based on Josiah Henson.
“uncle tom’s cabin” still exists and can be viewed in Dresden Ontario.
you can google him and find the real truth. Then you can open your mind to the fact that the powers that be, don’t want you knowing true history. And if they lied to you about this, what else?
Like bush Says “history will be the judge” of course but that history will be written by the powers in charge and will write it the way they want it.

Hte Kid:
I never said everyone has to agree with US policy or values. Don’t profess to know my knowledge of the world bud. It is laughable for you to say the US would crumble without Canada. I personally believe the US is the greatest country in the world. Most important and I take your last comment as very offensive and unwelcomed when you say someone is racist, just to throw that out there, uncool. By the way my best friend is from Edmonton. Have a nice day!
Go Broncos!
knuther, what do you call it when you degrade and entire group of poeple Hating the french is no different then hating asian’s, hispanic’s, slavics or any other group of people.
And there is a difference between what YOU THINK and what the rest of the world thinks. The US might be the greatest place to live if you are rich. But if your not rich, it ain’t too good. Ranks quite low actually, and not my opinion bud. Check the UN stats.
You are an angry person aren’t you how did i degrade a Country I asked you a question are you French, get a clue bud! Never saidd I hated anyone. That’s it I am done have a nice day!
Go Broncos!
not angry at all bud, just educated.
Fox,
Getting back to the reason we all love your blog….it makes you more of a person rather than a football player. Although we do love the football player in you, it’s always good to put the stereotype of “dumb atheletes” to bed. Football is as much mental as physical, if not more!
I’m excited to watch the Colts game this weekend. I’m from Utah and I have 2 roommates who haven’t been such big fans of football until they have lived with me. One of them has grown to absolutely love Peyton and the Colts. The other night, I drew up a quick “projected” stat sheet of the game so we could give our rivalry a little fire for the week. I posted it on the fridge and left for work. I came home to a picture of Tony Dungy taped to my pillow. It has been fun! The Colts are a great team, but so are we and I know that we can do this! And I don’t know if I can live peacefully for the next month if we don’t! This is a great game for you to come back to! I hope the team is up for the challenge because I know we the fans are ready!
Keep up the good work Fox. You seem to keep making everything a little brighter and I love to read your blog. As I said, good insight into the life a pro athelete!
Stay healthy and God speed!
Erin Beth
Knuther and htekid, would you just kiss and make up already? There is too much hatred to go around lately.
Hey Fox,
Have Elvis start practicing his sack dance. I see a lot coming from his side this season. Hopefully, it will start opening up some space for the rest of the pass rush. Have him keep it simple. Maybe like he is bowling since he looks like a bowling ball rolling over the OL.
Hope you get tons of work this week. The D could use you against Manning. I think it’s just a matter of time before the offence starts firing on all cyliders and what better time than against the Colts or, as I like to tell my Colt fan friend….baby Broncos. This will have more effect after you all give them a woopin’!
Has anyone been able to talk to Everett? Hope he is still getting better. Sounds like it through the news but I would like to know if you have any first hand knowledge.
Hit ‘em hard and take names! Out!
Since when did this blog become the jerry springer show. Maybe you should stick to football and not so much what is happening in iraq dom it causes all kinds of hate. epecialy from the guy in Canada and the other guy asking the other if he is french, or you could keep doing the same thing and keep me cracking up by reading these funny responces.
just a thought dom.
p.s. Canada boy and the other guy maybe you should call dr. phill i hear he can solve cat fights like the one you two are having, then we can get to beating the colts this week.
call dr. phill too if im making you mad. ha ha
Oprah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just incase dr. phil doesnt make it better that way you can kiss and make up
Im still on West Coast time and its almost midnight here…but I did not forget. Today is Darrent Williams B-Day. Sept. 27th. Much Love and many prayers.
James in San Diego
Fox,
Once again good luck this weekend–go out an hammer those Colts!
Not sure if you’d heard of the of the financial website Wallstrip, which is an excellent site that covers a lot of the news of the day. Here’s a link to a parody on Jim Cramer, of Mad Money fame. Judging from all the comments, a little parody might be in order:

Good luck in Indianapolis! We are all rooting for you here!
OrangeCrushinSanDiego — You are awesome…thanks for reminding us about something we should all be thinking of today….
Fox,
I apologize for being part of turning your blog into yet another political arena. I tried to keep things civil and related to the topic you posted. So, to further prevent meaningless squabbles I just have one more response for htekid, then I will wait for your next blog to comment on the next things you posts.
htekid,
I’m not going to turn Fox’s blog into a mindless showdown of some kind. I simply request you read what is written before you jump all over someone. I never said the real uncle tom didn’t exist. I simply said the character in the book is what the insults are based on. Regardless of what the real uncle tom (Josiah Henson according to you) did, or who he was, the actions of the character in the book are what the insults are based on.
As far as being a teacher . . . . well I have great respect for people who possess the ability to pass on knowledge (note: not all professional teachers are included in that group), but I also know that the liberal bias in teachers is second only to the media. Many teachers choose the profession because they want to help others, but a great many so-called “teachers” are classically summarized by the cliche “Those who can’t do, teach”. And for those people, generally, the bitterness of not being able to cut it in the real world spawns the skeptical, judgemental, anti-rich-white-man feelings. (Just a generalization folks, I’m not accusing anyone of anything here).
So, before you start calling my opinions invalid, and trying to glorify your own by propagandizing your way through an argument, just read what was written, and try to consider what and when the proper place and time are for the types of arguments you are spawning here.
Sorry again, Fox, for the interruption. Good luck this weekend. We’ll be pulling for you and the rest of the team. Can’t wait til Sunday, GO Broncos!
fox…
thanks as always for your insight and willingness to sling it out there for all of us to read. it is bold (in a good way) for you to express your feelings regarding the war in iraq. i applaud it, as most NFL players would feel either too preoccupied to consider it, or they would simply toe the party line. admittedly, there is some expectation of general mores for NFL players. they are implicit, certainly not contractual… but one can sense that the league would like things to be a certain way. so again, very refreshing to hear a voice that seems to be willing to express its true thoughts.
keep writing… this blog is one of the best ways to give us as fans a sense of involvement on a more direct level with you as an NFL athlete.
good luck sunday…
all the best

Thank you for answering my question last week! It really made my day to see you respond.
I’m glad to see you got the start today. I’m sure you were happy to get back on the field and you were taking on a large role on the defense today.
I’m disappointed as I’m sure everyone else is about the loss today. But I’m already looking forward to the game next week. I’ll be there in the stands cheering as always!
And to end this post with a question: Have you had any time to see any good movies lately? What are your favorite movies of all time?
The team will probably improve significantly after injured players return and everyone gets the new defensive scheme down pat. I’m sorry for Hamilton’s post-concussive syndrome. Having had that before myself, I can honestly say it’s something you can’t ignore. He’s missed, but he has to take care of his health. The losses to the Jags and Colts were tough, but the season is a long way from over. I agree with you, Domonique, on your belief that we should let Iran’s leader speak here. If we’re defiant and close minded, then he’ll just become more that way himself. You can’t really say that a person is an extreme liberal for just wanting to keep the lines of communication open. We don’t have to agree with the way he runs his country or treats his people, but we can hear what he has to say. Then he can see that we’re willing to listen. Now back to football. Will Javon Walker and John Lynch be back in the lineup for the next game? We’re hoping for the quick recovery of all the injured players, not only for the sake of winning games. We just want everyone healthy and well. Good luck against the Chargers!
Wow…my eyes are tired from reading all of the above comments. Good stuff, though.
To all the politic talk I say this…..
*crickets churping*
Anyway, football talk anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Seriously.
I have my own thoughts and views on the whole politics thing, but I don’t dare post them here! Yikes!

This is something that is intangible and I thought we would have no problems with after off-field tragedies over the past 9 months. The defense has no tenacity and no heart..they look as if they are going out and going through the motions. Jay Cutler shows about as much emotion as someone doing their taxes. He has no leadership abilities and frankly is making the same mistakes over and over again and not learning from them. I know this is BOLD but I am questioning this team’s heart as a whole. What is this season about? Do you think the two we lost in the offseason are looking down and seeing a team that is doing everything they can to win games? My three year old shows more heart cheering for you than you do on the field! Show some emotion and heart broncos!
Hi Fox
upon you guys loosing yesterday I can tell you Denver was a baseball City…..definately not a football city! I KNOW a lot of people are disappointed with the loss against the Colts.The Rockies game yesterday was way more exciting. I hope ya’ll can one day beat the Colts. And I hope the Rockies win tonight cuz they’re the only excitement in Colorado sports now. Consistency would provide me more faith in the Broncos. I don’t even know what to think. I hope you guys can turn things around, and I mean actually beat a team…. none of this last minute, barely winning, field-goal type of shiznit.
Okay Fox,
After this I may now be you favorate person, but with my critisim I will leave some out because it only makes since. I think you are a much better option than Jeff Shoate for our Nickle, but you did have a few mistakes that were coslty. Are those just from sitting out three weeks in a new defense that you havent had a chance to learn?
I only had time to read a few peoples’ responses. And onechocolateqt, your’s was one of them. That’s hilarious, girl!
