No more football??? Noooooooooo!!!

Were any of us ever that young?

Well, we took some time off because the end of the NFL season always comes as a shock. The Super Bowl was pretty good, and it played out like we thought it would...Cardinals stay close enough (to cover the spread) but ultimately fall to the more experienced Steelers. For a few brief moments we had visions of a Cardinals title in our heads but after the last touchdown the Steelers had way, way too much time on the clock.

So another year come and gone, and LPP goes into hibernation for the Spring. However, we'll still do our best to keep you updated on Jake, the Broncos, the NFL, Mike Shanahan, and anything else we fell might be interesting. For instance, this interview with Jake from 2 weeks ago where he answers questions about Shanahan, Cutler, and Denver's new coach Josh McDaniels. He even makes a not-so-subtle comparison between Pumpkin Pie and Jeff George, which even made us sort of go "wow, can't believe he went there" even though it could end up being deadly accurate if Cutler never develops past where he is now.

Let's face it, Cutler had one of the better (by reputation, mind you) offensive minds in football holding his leash for the past three years. If his future coaches can't get him over the hump where numbers actually translate into success, Pumpkin Pie is going to be more of an Archie Manning than a Peyton Manning, and we all know the city of Denver won't stand for it. The current Broncos receiver corps is one of the top five in the league, so this isn't like Jake's team having a gimpy Rod Smith and nothing else or Elway's "Three Amigos" having to give themselves a clever collective nickname because individually they were fairly average. Granted, the running game is damaged unless Peyton Hillis is the real deal, but Elway used to get to Super Bowls with a substandard running game (at least when Dan Reeves was running the show.)

Will Pumpkin Pie step up and be more than just a Pro Bowler with a poor record? Will the Broncos shake the ghost of Shanahan and rise again to dominate an AFC West that is absolutely ripe for the taking? Will Jake the Snake Plummer return to bring the thunder to some lucky and deserving NFL team? Will LetPlummerPlay.com close its doors after proving without a shadow of a doubt that we were absolutely 100% right about the state of the Broncos over the past 3 years and that anyone who told us different was higher than Michael Phelps at a house party?

Well...maybe, maybe, probably not, and we'll see. Congratulations to the Steelers, kudos to the Cardinals, best of luck to our Broncos, best wishes to Jake, and all the best to the loyal few who still come around and read...

LET PLUMMER PLAY!!!
