Wow. This was a bombshell only Pat Bowlen is capable of dropping. Josh McDaniels is fired. The Broncos have new life. And it’s going to be an Orange Christmas after all.

One of the good things about drawing for a blog like this is I don’t have to wait to put it online and out to all of the Broncos fans who have waited for this moment.

I don’t like to make fun of someone who just lost their job, so I’ll at least keep the writing civil, but the Broncos relieving McDaniels of his duties is a relief. The Broncos have a rebuilding project ahead but at least we know it will be done by someone more competent than Josh McDaniels.

I love the movie Christmas story and this image popped into my head shortly after I got the news that McDaniels was gone.

I’m also really, really glad to know that Mr. Bowlen made this decision now rather than later. To let it go on much longer would have been a horrendous disservice to Broncos fans all over the world.
