Serving up Crow: John Clayton

We’ll be serving up crow all season to self-proclaimed preseason prophets and prognosticators as the Broncos continue to out-perform their pitiful predictions. This week’s victim: John Clayton.

Good evening, John, how are you? Good? Wonderful to hear. So kind of you to dine with us tonight.

Before we begin, I must say, your prediction on the Denver Broncos rings of a certain… howdoyousay… poignancy. Would you agree? After all, you predicted the Broncos would win all of 3 games this year, and in fact, they’ve already won 4.

If I recall, you later pontificated that the Broncos are surely “a mess.” You went so far as to conclude your brief thesis with a timely, “Ouch.” Oh the wit, oh the cleverness of such a pithy interjection. It’s like you were being objective without being objective at all, at the same time!

Well, that is a shame. The Broncos have already won 4 games. It’s time to eat some crow!

Today’s entree is stuffed crow, roasted in a tart cranberry sauce and served fully feathered and beaked. Please chew carefully, and be wary the feathers do not puncture your small intestine and somehow reach your liver; we wouldn’t want you spewing bile all over ESPN now, would we?  “Ouch.”

(And fret not, dear John. We’re sure we’ll be raising a fork alongside you, and sooner rather than later.)
