Atwater Returns!

[BroncoJoe]

One of the greatest all-time Denver Broncos is returning to the organization. Former All-Pro safety Steve Atwater will return to the team as Fan Development Manager and Broncos Insider, the team announced.

Atwater, who donned the orange and blue from 1989 to 1998, ranks second all all time in postseason starts (14) for the Broncos behind only John Elway (21). His 155 starts for the Broncos ranks 10th all time. His 1,038 tackles rank third behind Dennis Smith and Karl Mecklenburg.

He missed/whiffed as many tackles as he made?

Seriously, it's hard for S's to make HOF, even harder for Broncos S's to make HOF.

Close your laptop. Get in the car. Start the engine. Roll down the windows. Breathe deep.

Find your vacuum. Rip off the hose. Stick one end in your tailpipe. The other in the cab. Rev the engine. Breathe deep.

Godammit. Do you have any guns or sharp knives?

Atwater didn't miss that much.

I love Atwater, True Bronco and PB fixture, but I do believe it's hard for S's to make HoF.

If Elway had Bill Walsh as his coach, Atwater would be seen as Ronnie Lott. Truth.

Hell, even Jim Fassel was enough to take Elway to new greatness, I shudder to think what Walsh could've done. Shudder!

Ok good we agree.

You shudder too?

[BeefStew25]

You shudder too?

Yes. Remember how frustrated 7 was with Reeves?

I think that serves him nicely as our future owner. Don't let the talent be frustrated by the coaches..

7 should already be part of ownership, it may never happen.

Oh it's happening. That why there is a delay. Ellis is all over it.

If he played today, he'd get multiple 15 yard personal foul penalties per game.

[Dean]

Atwater did usually go for the knock-out shot and it sometimes
cost him. He either fired up the crowd or whiffed.

[BroncoJoe]

If he played today, he'd get multiple 15 yard personal foul penalties per game.

But, he didn't. You can say the same about many of the earlier NFL players. Ever watch highlights of Dick Butkis?

Stupid to bring that up in a thread honoring one of the Broncos' greats.

Great point, glad you brought it up.

I want to fight you.

Was it something I said?

I think it was everything you said.

True.

But, it's a bad thing that they're always wrong.

It works for gambling, you just pick the opposite of what you think. Say you have 11 and the dealer shows a 6, if you think he's gonna bust you hit instead of doubling down.

Not me. I would always DD in that situation.

[Simple Jaded]

Yeah but you're not wrong all the time.

[BeefStew25]

Always double down on 11. Never matters what the dealers up card is. For gawds sake.

[MOtorboat]

When slim uses the abbreviation DD, it doesn't stand for "double down."

It could. Or I would think wait is he a card counter? Then see how it plays out.

I had a guy tell me years ago that blackjack is the only Vegas game in which the house has only a slight advantage. As skilled player can come out ahead, even if they're not being assisted by a card counting team. On the other end of the spectrum, the roulette wheel is so stacked in the house's favor just throwing your money away.

The problem with counting cards is it's hard to find a shoe with only a couple decks in it. It's not as easy as it was 30 years ago.

Then there's the whole thing that its considered cheating for people with superior mental abilities to us them to tip the scales. I don't have the ability to card count, but those who do shouldn't be punished for using it. Seriously, those casinos get rich enough on the rank and file suckers that they can let few walk way with enough winnings to buy a new house.

I've done it once. It's impossible to prove. I didn't win much. I think I came out $5 ahead. I won 3 hands in a row and they had some middle aged dealer take over. He then proceeded to get 21 3 times in a row. I seriously could not tell if he was dealing from the top or bottom. That dude was smooth.

Wow, $5 ahead and the casino hits the red alert button with brought in the champ to crush you.

We hit a casino in Ohio that doesn't have tables and the guy who helped us the parking lot (we locked keys in with engine running) told us the casino clears $30 M in profits.

Btw, as for locking keys in car, when I say we I mean my wife.

I had won 3 hands in a row and was in the last seat. So, they knew I was watching what everybody else was putting down.

I was up by more than $5 when he came over.

It was a 5 deck shoe I think and a small minimum net table.

Most of the tables now have 20 deck shoes, I believe, which is nearly impossible to count
