My expectations for next season are realistically low. The D is that good- see Manning's atrocious numbers from last season- but I don't think they can carry the team (again) to consecutive championships.

Not to say anything about the old (I'll be 54 the day after tomorrow), but Tim, Manu, and Tony are all old and repeatedly injured and not allowed to heal properly and fully. (I do know something about that.) Along with Kawaii Leonard, they're the core of the team. And the first three are already the subject of retirement rumors.

Oh well. At least we'll have a lot of money to throw at the salary caps...

Isn't sponsorship where most sports people make the majority of their money?
Sure their playing contract is worth a pretty penny, but nothing compared to what they get for spruiking the various products they've signed up to.

But not all athletes get endorcement deals. Avg players get a contract. Good players get good contracts. Great players get great contracts. And superstars get amazing contracts and Reebok or UA sponsors.

Take the Oilers. The NHLs basement dwellars. We have 2 legit superstars; 1 (Taylor Hall) has UA as a endorcement as well as his modest 5 mil per year salary. The other is the next Sidney Crosby in Connor McDavid and 1 year in and he has a .900K salary but with bonuses is near 3m.

Only thr great can get endorsements but those that do will make a ton more in cash from them than there salary.

Well I'm an Eagles fan and my wife supports the Dockers. Neither team is doing very well so far in the season but the Dockers are absolutely bombing. It's all a bit sad really.

laugh.. I grew up in the east bay of San Francisco and went to the Oakland Raider Camp as a high school kid.
Converted to the Broncos with Elway/Shanahan.... And then Manning .
But I love me D so I just think the Broncos just might get to the Division Champs yet again.\
D coach and the Staff get er done.
