Get to work!

I was asked this morning if I wanted to go for a jog.
HA.
It’s Labor Day.
Yet on a day built for rest, relaxation, and BBQ’n, many people are being laborious. Puttin in W-O-R-K.
First off, it’s Monday. The Monday before the Sunday on which we all finally get to sit down at the table and taste what’s been cooking all summer long. Shout out your prediction here: What will be the outcome of the Broncs/Bungals game?

In anticipation of the Bungals Sunday, tomorrow on ESPN’s First Take, Skip Bayless will be facing off with Chad Ochocinco. A versus. Assuredly they will be discussing the upcoming match up and may even weigh in on our very own Ochostinko, Brandon Marshall. Shout your prediction here: Who will win the head to head between Skip & Ocho?

On Brandon Marshall: You may have been part of Kerry Rhodes twitterverse hysteria last night, or you may have read about it here on BroncoTalk. This morning Rhodes’ teammates, Nick Mangold and Jay Feely, both commented on the lack of action backing up Rhodes’ cryptic messages about Buh-Buh-Buh Brandon & the Jets. PFT is also keeping everyone updated on Kerry’s updates.

Nick Mangold: I dunno about @jayfeely, but I’m pretty mad @kerryrhodes for stirring up this hysteria. I was expecting some real news with my coffee today.

Jay Feeley: @nickmangold remember what happened to the boy who cried wolf.

my tweet: WHO CARES!

I think most of us here share the same sentiment. Yes, it would be great if BM got his head on straight and buckled down with the team. Yes, it would be great if BM realized that his being on the field opens up Eddie, and Eddie’s being on the field opens up Gaffney/Stokely/McKinnley, and their being on the field…AHHHHHHH!!!

Yes, it would be great. Until that happens, I’m over it, he doesn’t deserve my attention. Let’s play some football.

Or some fake football.
