The parade and rally was amazing.  Went to the previous two as a kid and thought I knew what cramped situations were like, felt like there were more people at this one than the first two combined.  People crawling over the statues in the park, climbing light posts, traffic lights trees and the sides of building trying to get a better look at the festivities, and hours after it everybody was still there, a sea of orange chanting 'let's go broncos', 'defense' and 'miller time' and it felt like everyone was a long time friend that you had been through thick and thin with.  I even had a cordial conversation with a chiefs and raiders fan without the desire to beat them to death ever creeping into my mind.  Was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.  The broncos supplanted my daughters, at least for the day, as my third most beloved thing in this world.

Oh fuck, it's starting to set in that the season is actually over, now we're left with six months of nothing, or worse, baseball.

True, but fortunately I also like the NBA and somewhat like college basketball and I'm also slightly follow the NHL.  But I agree with you about baseball can't stand it either its just too boring.

You folks need to actually attend baseball games in person. There are few better ways to relax than with pregame tailgating, followed by excessive drinking and watching a game unfold.

Since the Texas Rangers have a open field stadium its too freaking hot at most of the games I don't want to boil to death while I get bored to death at the same time the game is just too slow at least when you watch it on TV you have some decent adds between innings.

Not really a huge fan of Shaun King, but, Peyton and Archie Manning, everyone, court documents are difficult to spin:

Apparently Marshawn Lynch retired, but much like Favre he is only going to unretire and join a new team?

Either way big gap to fill for Seahawks.

First Sunday without football, god it's horrible, feels like when I quit my bottle of jack a day habit cold turkey, only far, far, far, far worse.

Honestly, at this point I couldn't care less.  He's served his purpose here in Denver, he's on his own now.

Anybody watching the NFL Draft Thursday?

*cries* guess I'll go kick cans then. 

Where in DFW are you? I'm in Denton. And yeah, no thanks to getting balls soup sitting in the Texas sun for a few hours watching baseball. I will watch in.my boxers on my big TV with the AC cranked up, thanks.
