Didn't see this posted...apologies if it was.
The Denver Broncos have suspended defensive tackle Josh Shaw, according to Jay Glazer of FOX.
Shaw reportedly went Steve Smith on defensive end Kenny Peterson in a meeting after Shaw was repeatedly mocked by teammates.
Per Glazer, Broncos coaches had been riding Shaw, and he eventually let out a squeaky, Jim-Mora-saying-”playoffs?”-style reply, “I’m trying.”
Other players mimicked the phrase until Shaw made it clear that he didn’t want to hear it again.
And then the same contrarian aspect of human nature that prompted Jim Rome to call Jim Everett “Chris” and Buddy to call Miles Finch an elf kicked in for Peterson, who let the new catch phrase fly one more time, prompting Shaw to cold-**** Peterson.
The duration of the suspension is unclear at this point. Coach Mike Shanahan initially wanted to shut Shaw down for four games, which is the maximum penalty under the Collective Bargaining Agreement for conduct detrimental to the team. The NFL Players Association is involved in the process, and undoubtedly would appeal a four-game suspension to an independent arbitrator.
