Annoyed

Mike Shanahan (AKA "The Genius") has decided to start the Broncos' second-string quarterback over Jake Plummer this weekend. So much brilliance I cannot describe. This will truly solve all his problems -- even his defensive ones! How? I have no earthly idea ... but The Genius must. Why else would he choose a rookie over a veteran this late in the season? Bravo, Shanahan. I now have the rare opportunity to root against Denver this weekend. So thank you at the very least for broadening my sports fan horizons.

And to Jake, a (GASP!) less-than-perfect quarterback -- I'm sorry, man, that you're the fall guy for all the problems on your team. We'll always root for you, friend, whether you're playing or not.
