Big Baby Daddy!

HARD WORK GOOD, AND HARD WORK FINE, BUT FIRST TAKE CARE OF HEAD

Well, this is just f***ing great, Denver fans. Travis Henry, one of the keys to Denver’s potential success, is a hair away from getting the hammer dropped for his second league substance offense. The interesting thing here is that unlike the last few high-profile substance suspensions, Big Baby Daddy didn’t get popped for HGH or ‘roiding. No, apparently Poppa T got popped for the one lady in his life that he couldn’t knock up no matter how often he hit dat: Mary Jane.

Maybe this is a stretch, but maybe it isn’t...shouldn’t a team signing a guy with character issues and previous violations dig pretty deep on the background check? Was it simply a matter of Shanahan asking “Travis, you still hit the bong?” and Henry simply lying? Or did they even bother to check? Personally, we here at LPP don’t mind the sweet leaf so much, but when it comes down to gainful employment and keeping your ass on the field...Big Baby Daddy was just a dumbass. Problem is, despite loads of talent, it’s not like Henry didn’t have any red flags on him. Yet the Broncos rolled the dice on a man who is apparently Shawn Kemp and Ricky Williams rolled into one. Are you kidding? That’s an old-school Raider move! Henry made the mistake, but by bringing him in, Shanahan and Sundquist enabled it. Now it’s a distraction and a detriment that could turn an uneven start into a full-fledged disaster.

Selvin Young looked good last game but if Henry goes down the Broncos will have Young and Mike Bell--both undrafted--as their top RB options. That’s yet another dice roll. Any good gambler will tell you that if you keep rolling the dice, you will inevitably crap out. Within 12 months, Denver has: swapped out a veteran QB with a winning record for a rookie from a bad football school during a playoff run; sent said rookie and future franchise savior back into a season finale with a concussion; fired a competent and proven defensive coordinator after a top-ten finish with a battered lineup; and hitched the running game on a guy with knee problems, nine kids by nine women, and a suspension record.

Hopefully, Denver will at least save money on Henry’s contract, but the team has another distraction that they can’t afford. Face it fans...despite San Diego being coached by Mr. Magoo, they’re angry and cornered with a chip on their shoulder and have an MVP running back ready to take his mad out on a bottom-five rush defense. Denver and BBD will try to stretch out his appeal as long as possible for this must-win game, but the Mile High Advantage might not be enough with Henry on the hot seat, Javon Walker’s knees buckling, and both lines getting worked like a side of beef in a “Rocky” movie while Shanahan tries to pretend he’s simply staying the course. Truth is, it’s largely Shanahan’s decisions that put us in this mess, but the soft Denver press will smooth this over and divert the blame towards Travis Henry and away from the guys who put the team’s season on Big Baby Daddy’s shoulders in the first place. BBD’s herb troubles are just part of a greater problem that many poor fans are blinding themselves to. LetPlummerPlay.com is proud to be the voice of reason in these troubled times. We won’t betray you, Denver faithful! Wake up and smell the ganja! And remember the good old days when the Broncos used to...

LET PLUMMER PLAY!!!
