Wendy gives 2008 a big send off in her year in review. That has been 2008 for me. In some ways it has been wonderful, in other ways I feel like kicking it in the crotch as it leaves tomorrow night.

Tom Curran of NBC Sports had this to say What had to clinch it for Bowlen, though, were the absurd losses Denver absorbed this season. Beaten by the lowly Chiefs 33-19 after a 3-0 start. A 41-7 destruction by the Patriots in Foxboro. A sloppy, staggering loss at home to Miami. A 31-10 ripping at [...]
