Seriously, though. I should work for ESPN.

For the last several weeks, I’ve been saying that the Denver Broncos are a big scam. Now, what I mean by that, is that they’re simply NOT that good…

…but everyone seems to think so.

Last week they beat New England, right? Wrong. Last week New England beat themselves.

They almost came back and made a game out of the AFC Championship today, right? Wrong. They tried their best to replicate New England’s performance of last week.

But come on, you say. They were 13-3 in the regular season. Yeah, that’s true. But given that the second half of their season was Eagles, Raiders, Jets, Cowboys, Chiefs, Ravens, Bills, Raiders, Chargers, I think you can chock a good portion off that off to schedule (don’t forget, they were 5-2 in their more difficult first half, with losses to the Giants and Dolphins).

So what’s the problem? Jake Plummer is even whinier than Peyton Manning, and greasier than Crisco; oh yah, and he’s got this “choke” valve in his shoulder somewhere that sticks shut most of the time, but opens up when it’s least convenient. Like today.

Remember, Arizona sucked. But he was a big part of that. And for some reason, everyone assumes that “Jake the Snake” is the savior of Denver because he scrambles well.

Uhh…if I spent the first six years of my career running for my life in 120-degree heat, I’d be a good scrambler, too.

And now that he’s got a decent o-line, he’s putting up decent numbers. But I will sit here comparing Jake and Peyton all day long. If someone can come up with a Viagra-type drug for sports performance, these guys should be in the commercials. They’re both quarterbacks you want…until the playoffs.

Sorry Denver, and sorry Jake. Now come on, Bussie…win your Superbowl and go be a commentator.
