Okay, I was PISSED when they fired Mike Shanahan in December, but I tried to understand: he’d let Denver lose its first-place standing in the AFC West with a four-game lead. So I gave it a good shot.
Then they hired Josh McDaniels instead of pursuing a Super-Bowl–winning, well-known coach like Bill Cowher or Mike Holmgren. This time I was just uneasy. McDaniels is unproven in the head coaching position, but he did well in New England. Maybe it’ll work?
But now McDaniels tried to get rid of Cutler to get Matt Cassel, and it didn’t work: Cassel went to Kansas City, one of Denver’s main rivals. Cassel’s good, but Cutler is proven and there’s a BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE between those two. Worse, Cutler knows about the deal and now Cutler — who wasn’t happy about the Shanahan firing — wants out of Denver.
WTF Josh McDaniels! Quit ruining the Broncos, you fuckwit, and be glad for the opportunity you’ve been given AND MAKE SOMETHING OF IT. YOU HAVE A PRO-BOWL QUARTERBACK.
Bloody hell. Can we please recall Shanahan? At least he knew a good thing when he saw it.
Is it okay to de-friend someone on Facebook if she uses a 15:5 ratio of exclamation points to sentences? No? Okay, then, what is the proper protocol for informing someone that she has exceeded her — nay, THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF FACEBOOK’S — exclamatory quota?
If I had a superpower, it would totally be to make people well. I know that sounds lame and do-goody, but it’s not: the true reason is that I just. can’t. stand. the whining associated with illness.
Segue:
I consider this portfolio an illness, and one that will be monumentally better come Tuesday when it’s turned into my chair for review (this is the pre-committee review). I don’t much like being around people who are whiny (this came up in pre-marital counseling when the dear man told me I had a “distinct lack of empathy”), and if I could float up and out of my body while it does the work finishing this fucking folio, that would be fantastic. But that’s about as likely to happen as my superpower. In the meantime, I have never been in a worse mood. You all have trifling problems with relationships, mortal illness, and job loss? Puh-leeeeeeeeeese. I’ve totally got you beat. Hopefully next week I will once again be able to appreciate the sounds of birds chirping and singing, etc., but in the meantime, unless you possess not just a wand but also the magic required to wield it, stay away.
(If I have any friends after this endeavor, it will be a miracle.)
