Teams Bring Jelly to Denver: Dre Bly continues to look like the piece of toast he has been since arriving in Denver. He resembles a weak, albeit fast, high-school corner when attempting to cover anything that remotely resembles an NFL receiver. Bly has been toasted more than any other cover man on the team.
And now that Champ Bailey has injured his groin, Bly will be called upon to cover the oppositions No. 1 receiver. That doesn’t bode well for the already anemic Denver defense. Expect opposing offensives to bring their favorite flavor of jelly to smear all over Bly.
Kellen Winslow II is an Infection: Kellen announced he was the latest Cleveland Brown to succumb to a staph infection, bringing the teams total to five players. Coach Romeo Crennel said they are doing everything possible to curtail the spread of the infections, but presently they don’t yet have a handle on it.
Amusingly, Winslow whined to a local paper saying he was upset the GM Phil Savage didn’t check in on him while he was in the hospital. Newsflash Kellen, it's typical that your boss' boss' boss doesn't call when your out sick. He claimed to feel like “a piece of meat” and unappreciated.
He went on to add that head coach Crennel and his position coach checked in on him, “But I never heard from him…Savage, and that disappoints me. Sometimes I don’t even feel apart of this team,” Winslow said. Maybe if you played a little harder, talked less, and made a few more catches when it mattered, you’d feel more a part of the team. Just a thought. It’s a shame he doesn’t have more of the class that his father brought to game.

"Cutler hurt his hand on the first play from scrimmage and looked like my neighbors twelve year old daughter throwing lawn darts while spinning herself dizzy in circles."
Hilarious. Great article Jay!

What about LT, Vince Young, Garrard, Braylon Edwards, Matt Jones, Cedric Benson, Chris Perry and Cromartie. All these guys have been dissapointments.

Edgy, snarky, and funny. Just my cup of tea. Loved it. Absolutely loved it. It was a risk, but you pulled it off. POTD. Five stars.
PS...I called Kellen, but he hung up on me.

Thanks Lisa. Really appreciate that coming from you.
If I see Kellen, I'll kick him in the staph infection for hanging up on you ;)

Wow how hard did you have to think to come up with the line "looked like my neighbors twelve year old daughter throwing lawn darts while spinning herself dizzy in circles." You sound like a prepubescent little boy.
Let's think here Jay Cutler hurt his index finger on his throwing hand and had to be removed from the game. Maybe you should try to throw a football with a swollen index finger and see if you can throw the perfect spiral. Oh wait you're not the starting quarterback for the Broncos are you?
Secondly, I don't blame Kellen Winslow for slamming Phil Savage and the Browns organization. You don't think they wanted to cover up another staph infection? There's something going on in Cleveland. Are you now going to make fun of Kenny George for having his foot amputated from a form of staph, called MRSA? It's kind of funny that the Browns would suspend Winslow for saying those things when the Browns almost made the playoffs last year because of the contributions of Winslow who caught 82 passes for more than 1100 yards.

Steven,
Thanks for your concern, but I didn't have to think long at all. It's called a sense of humor...you should look into getting one. Otherwise, I know a support group that's led by Walter Cash you can join. You guys need therapy.
Your surprised that the Browns suspended him? Um, try this. Go into work today and tell ur boss' boss' boss that your disappointed in him and what you think of him. Then login in to B/R tomorrow and tell us if you're still surprised.
My point on Cutler was if he's hurting that bad...get out of the game. All he did was hurt his team-significantly. Suck it up or get out. I understand his drive but don't cost your team.
On a serious note. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the article. I still appreciate your comments and taking the time to leave one...not everyone appreciates my opinions.

Jay-- This was a great, witty article! Loved it. Coming from a Bronco's fan, I am not a big fan of Bly.....I think Cutler has huge potential but time will tell! Great read

Jay, Kellen Winslow II has exactly the same amount of class as his blistering a-hole old man. Dig it, on the day that his beloved Chargers learned that Muncie was in deep trouble with drugs KWI announced he was not going to play until his contract was renegotiated. This was a week or so into the season. KWI always thought of himself first, and his team second. Junior seems to be the same self-centered male appendage his old man was.
Just remember this. Winslow is always remembered for that great playoff game down in Miami, when he made some excellent catches, and blocked a field goal. Marvelous. But then, of course, the attention wasn't focused on him so he did his number of having to be carried off the field by his team. What a grandstander. I've seen players compete with broken bones, hell, I saw Ronnie Lott play after having a part of his finger cut off so he wouldn't miss the game. In 48 years of watching football I've never seen someone act like Winslow did that day in Miami.
Don't be surprised if Junior acts that way, he learned it from the master's knee.

Ken,
You obviously have a perspective that I don't. Hate to hear that the apple actually didn't fall from the tree. It's a shame. Thanks for setting the record straight.

Jay, I could be as wrong as anyone else, I'm just sitting in the cheap seats. From what I remember when I first moved here (right after the Miami game in '81) Winslow was sort of viewed as a great player but a major head case. There's some great archive NFL films footage of Dan Fouts just chewing his behind for his play, and demanding that he be benched, to which Coryell (right or wrong) agreed.
KWII was so big a deal here when he was a senior in high school that he was actually on television on letter of intent day, of course with KWI who couldn't let the spotlight be off of him for 15 seconds. Junior actually announced that he'd decided to head up to East Lansing and attend Michigan State, to which pops expressed great consternation (my education paid off, huh?). As we know, he did end up at Miami where he learned to scream that he was a soldier in a war.
Hey, it's obvious I don't like either one of them. I'm just basing this on what I've watched, and maybe they're both wonderful people. I don't think so.
Good article though Jay.

Packman is a good player, and so was Vick, it was sad to see them just do so stupid of things, they were so good and to throw that away was stupid aswell

Oh man- both are tremendous football players. It just seems like it shouldn't seem that hard to make millions per year "playing" a game and keep your self out of trouble. Hey we all make mistakes but these guys continue to make huge, foolish errors that potentially can cost them tens of millions. Just like Vick. Wouldn't you think that would be example enough to keep your attitude together?

I'm with Kristin, my fellow Broncos fan who's posted here. I wrote a comparable article on Kellen Winslow. Please come to my page and read up on it, if you're up to it. Thanks for the article. Our Broncos MUST play better. They've got a bye to get things straightened out and we'll see what happens from there.

While I didn't call to check on Kellen, I did have a chance to check on Westbrook...Yeah, how about you stop crying since you get paid to play football? Jeez!

Jay Cutler is an overrated little girl. Following through on a rivalry with Philip Rivers is one thing (boo-hoo, he hurt my feelings!) but saying you have a better arm than John Elway?
That injury is the start of the football gods inflicting serious karma, Vandy boy.

i own dogs including pit bulls! d on t get me going on the type of people the nfl does not need at all in the league like vick! i don t care how good you are on th field if your a freakin sick psycho bastard stay out of our football games and lives!! i hope the nfl permanently bans vick! great article by the way jay!! really funny! on the players that are mentioned. most just have a mouth problem!!! vick was totally different. he s messed up totally in the mind! after someone tortues him, electrocutes someone in his family or hangs him from the neck a while like those poor dogs then we could see how he feels!! by the way all those so called fighting dogs are all rehabilitated into good homes hospitals homes for the aged and co exist with other dogs and people with no problems, only 2 of those dogs had to be put down. Michael vick at the least should have to undergo therapy and anger management for the ret of his career if he wants to hope to try to play football! i would not even let him back in the league!!! f em!! thomas nfl mikee moreland

Thomas - First of all, I don't know why you felt compelled to rant and rave about Michael Vick. Second of all, you conradict yourself. You state that "i hope the nfl permanently bans vick!" Later, you write, "Michael vick at the least should have to undergo therapy and anger management for the ret of his career if he wants to hope to try to play football!" Then right after that, you say, "i would not even let him back in the league!!!"
Ok, make up your mind. Do you want him back in the league or not? You say you don't, then you might be willing to if he undergoes treatment, but then you say you would not let him back. So which is it?
