Not really. They are required by law to discuss Tebow 96.3% of the time. Not sure what this mad dog fellow is talking about though, IIRC I saw Elway very excited when that happened.
There has been some talk about Elway's comments this week, but it's pretty well known Tebow probably won't be here for long, win or lose. The Broncos real problem will be if they manage to go 8-8, make the playoffs and take themselves out of contention for one of the top QBs in this class.

Reality.
Bulger hasn't played in the league for 2 years and is only 34 years old. That says it all really, the guy couldn't get a job at 33 years old.

The guy was a solid backup for the Ravens last year and was sought after in the preaseason this year, but retired due to injuries. From '02-'06 he put up pretty decent numbers and then the Rams went into rapid decline and he got the hell beat out of him. His numbers are comparable to the likes Carson Palmer.

It wasn't Mad Dog himself, whoever the two guys are that do the morning show on that channel (Sirius Sattellite radio). I'm only listening cause Stern is on vacation. However, outside of Penn State, Elway is the only thing these guys can talk about.

I certainly hope so. Palko didn't play any worse than Cassel in my opinion.

With that the Bears sign Josh McCown.
I'd definately rather Orton, but either way it goes the Bears made it clear that it was Hanie's job to lose

I'll be interested to see if Orton can eventually do anything with the Chiefs. Cassel had one really good game against the Colts and has been bad in most of his other games this year. Maybe Orton can throw the ball down field with a bit more accuracy. Biased me thinks the group of Bowe, Breaston, and Baldwin are good receivers. But they need a QB to get them the ball. The QB's also need better protection.

Taking the day off to watch this one...im really uneasy about the outcome, but i havent missed a game in over 3 years now, and im usually pretty entertained with both the team and the results, so its all worth it.

Having depth a corner means crap all when two of your Pro Bowl corners are injured. Of course this couldn't happen when were playing John Beck or John Skelton. No it happens when Tom Brady comes to town. ####!

I can only catch up through NFL Game Centre but it looks like penalties are the only thing stopping the Lions.

And some really poor throws from Stafford....and injuries are starting to pile up as well.
Green Bay should be down 10....and that may be the death knell for the Lions as letting rodgers and company hang around is going to bite them at some point...of course GB is doing a good job of shooting themselves in the foot as well with penalties.

Detroit should be up at least 3 scores right now and instead it looks like they are going to be down 7-0.
A combination of terrible Stafford throws and a few very iffy calls are killing the team so far today.
