b) says that he's personally overheard Elway and others talk negatively about Shanny for a long, long time

c) and has heart disease, I heard he's not doing well and will see him in two weeks in Denver.

I'll be sure to pass along that everything he's heard/thought is wrong because some guy on a blog says Mike is a great guy...

Myself, Matty, and the rest of the mods are the best friends you have here. Remember that. Support for you is few and far between to stay a member of this board.

Can't you take a joke? You're always talking your Denver background, or your diehard Bears fan/friend from Chicago. Or the Saints one from New Orleans

a) Well la di ****ing da

b) Tell him to read this Mangini's Mess | Features | Cleveland Scene

They were being told in the peaceful valley of Shanahan: the heaven to Mangini's hell. Mike Shanahan knew how to run a team. That meant he knew how to treat the men on it. Being a head football coach is not about being a strategic genius.

Every coach in the NFL knows football strategy. It's about leading a group of grown men toward a tangible goal and treating them with the respect their sacrifice deserves. That's how you get them to play well. Many players, upon arriving in Denver, were flabbergasted by how well Shanahan treated them.

—You don't know how good we got it here, man.

I always heard it, but I never understood it. Coach Shanahan was all I really knew. He was the model of an NFL coach in my mind.

c) Sorry to hear that but that's pretty low of you to exploit that to make it seem like I'm some heartless person

Ask him if he knows any good message boards you can join where people don't threaten to leave the site if you're not banned, or the justification for keeping you from those that say you should stay is "every village needs an idiot"

Like I said, Matty and the mods are the best friends you have here because we believe in allowing different opinions (though I know you don't believe that).

But jeez man, take a ****ing joke
