Blog Entry 2 of 2 House of Georges, Redux

We at the House (also to be found on the intrawebs at www.houseofgeorges.blogspot.com, sandwiched in between the one about competitive knitting and the one by the guy who collects Hummels) offer semi-meaningful sports commentary, intriguing links to everything from Woody Guthrie lyrics to the meaning of "manichean" and the occasional photo of a partially clad nymphet. Which isn't to say we're sexist. We also post photos of nude fat men, usually in a good-natured ribbing kinda way. But also to be insulting. To each other, that is, not to nude fat men--we don't want to start any beefs...ok, that was just awful. Did I mention the puns? We run daily specials on those, three for a dollar. Peruse the bloggery and prepare to chuckle, shake your head in vigorous disagreement or-- just maybe--shed a single, meaningful tear. We expect nothing less from you, loyal members of HoGNation (copyright pending). Except an occasional backrub to be performed at a neutral site, hush hush wink wink.

Draining camp; or, Why I fear the groin tear

But more often, I worry about my team. Not that zombies aren't worth the energy, because anyone who's had one of those undead suckers gnawing on their temple knows just how inconvenient they can be...

So the Broncos are winding up training camp. It's been a rough one this year. Aside from having basically our entire starting corps of wideouts nursing some sort of injury--where have you gone, Brandons Marshall and Stokley?--leaving us with guys like Glenn Martinez taking reps with the first team, our O-line is hurting pretty bad. Ben Hamilton got a concussion and hasn't practiced in days. Matt Lepsis, who you must agree looks a lot like a giant hairy baby, had an MRI to see if he had, in fact, torn his groin. Jesus. Talk about words that should never, ever appear in the same sentence.

To further grey my hair, young Chris Kuper is in danger of losing his potential starting job to Montrae Holland, who wasn't good enough to start for the Saints last year. That's really nothing against him, since the New Orleans franchise had one of the league's best lines and he's considered a pretty solid player, but Kuper was a coach's favorite. They expected him to win that right guard spot. The fact that he can't, and that they're moving him around the line trying to find a spot for him, sets my teeth against each other.

Oh, and Jay Cutler has tendinitis in his right wrist. &*%$ the rest of this post. Does anyone know of a good solid shower head near Colfax and Broadway? I'm gonna nip off and hang myself.

All of us--Broncos and fans alike--need the season to start. We're sick of all this practice ( we talkin' about practice!), all of these nagging injuries that probably seem worse than they are, all of Jim Armstrong's mind-numbing "analysis."

On a slightly different note, has anyone else noticed Paul "Dr. Z" Zimmerman's slow descent into complete worthlessness? I used to admire his take on the game and its history, but he's killing me with his meatheaded stance on Broncos in the HoF. His column today on si.com contained this line, in response to an e-mailers query about what was keeping Louie Wright, Randy Gradishar and Gary Z. out: "What's keeping them out? Stronger candidates, that's what." Maybe you could ladle up an extra serving of snide, you embittered old creep.

Brofax reprazent! And as much respect as Gradishar and Co. deserve, I just don't see them making it to Canton anytime soon. I barely know who Gradishar is and I grew up in Colorado.
