I also think had this tournament been around decades ago like it should have, it would have prevented the realignment woo we’ve had going.
100% truth right there……

I do think they need to make an adjustment after this season and let a few more teams in and ditch the bye weeks completely.

I used to live in Henderson. Commerce City force annexed it. I refused to use the name Commerce City on any form. When they finally got it all legally settled and Henderson stopped working on forms, I moved. I was nowhere near the trashy part of CC but I simply want no association with it.

I mean. I don't tend to say commerce City, but yes. Technically I live within the boundaries of commerce city. But I live in an oasis surrounded by the industrial wasteland.
Ohhh I get it it’s like this.

I have to say the snobbery and elitism about cities around here is pretty ridiculous. I live on a golf course in Aurora, have great neighbors, zero crime in this area. Yet when people hear I live in Aurora they constantly ask if I feel safe and if I worry about living here. I had a car broken into in Highlands Ranch while I was working there and had stuff stolen out of our car at the outlets in Castle Rock but yeah snobs, keep telling me what's safe and what's not.

If you live in Commerce City, why bother apologizing for it?

I do wonder if people from Colorado are less likely to name kids Aurora because of the city’s negative reputation.

I’m from Glendale. Try and make a joke about that!

Did you name your two boys Glen & Dale ? Are they rescue rangers ?

Payton gets a lot of flack in here but check this out - this team is going to end up with $91M in dead cap this year. Basically 1/3 of their total salary cap available ($272M). Pretty remarkable that we could possibly make the playoffs with 1/3 of our salary sidelined.

Will have $56M in cap for next year with 38 players signed. Hopefully should be able to make 1-2 really good acquisitions in the offseason. There's almost no TE/CB's on the FA market but tons of WR's.

Salary cap space has nothing to do with his ridiculously pathetic clock management and predictable, scared playcalling, though.

Peyton is a fantastic head coach that knows how to build a winning philosophy with his teams. My bitching lately has been purely about the X's and O's on the field. I just feel the late games screens are too telegraphed and need to be put on the back burner for a while.

I in no way shape or form want Peyton fired. What he and Vance has done this season with so little cap and a rookie QB is nothing short of a masterclasses of coaching.
