Ben Bratt is no Don CheadlePosted by Bryan
He's just a bit too metrosexual for the NFL Playoff Ad Campaign that seems to be the sequel to the previous years' Cheadle-offered rapid-tongued monologues.
Ben Bratt is just a bit too goaty-covered, turtle-neck-under-the-suede-jacket, poetry-reciting for my blue-collar inclinations, even if his ad does include a nice Stud-QB-Genealogy begetting Elway begetting Favre begetting Manning.
I'm of course pleased the Broncos beat the Colts' JV team today. Unfortunately, I'm too pachydermic in my recollections from a similar situation last year, when their regular season victory over the same team was followed up a week later by a 41-10 drubbing by the colts where Manning threw 5 TD passes.
Yet, I'm a fan. So I'll be there next Sunday at 1 PM (please don't call me, you'll only face my voice mail). And I absolutely reserve the right to be grumpy when if the Broncos lose. This was, is a frustrating season that can only be remedied by their putting things together and getting to the Super Bowl.
Of course, if they actually manage that, I'll be quite impossible to bear.
