So, nany, nany, boo, boo, stick your whiny ass in doo, doo.

The players loved him because he always applauded and made excuses for their consistent underperformance instead of busting heads like Belicheat; that ain't a GOOD thing.

Depends which of those privy to the process one believes, but either

1) ESPN's correct Elway fired him for two one-and-dones in three seasons with a couple HoFers, a former DRoY and half a dozen OTHER Pro Bowlers, because Joe Ellis says we won't lower our standards, or

2) Before their postseason even started, Fox quit on a team trying to reach a second straight SB, so Elway SHOULD'VE fired him even if he didn't.

Either way, players loving a coachs overindulgent coddling is an argument against rather than for him. But if reports he was job-hunting when he should've been working on a strategy to win a home playoff game against a wildcard team we hopelessly outclass are true, I wouldn't be surprised if his next coaching job is his last at ANY level of the NFL.

Yeah - just because it turned out to be similar to what has happened, does not mean at the time it was anything but nutty, ungrateful and premature.

While reviewing the lexicon, it should be noted "coincidence" often means "causality habitual skeptics can't comprehend and/or won't acknowledge."

Screw em' all, no loyalty to us - no loyalty in damn return.

Who's your favorite MLB player, Chron, is it Albert Pooholes?

Not ALL; Rod Smith gave back a big chunk of a VERY big contract so we had the cap space to sign guys needed for a championship, and probably shortened his career by delaying surgery a full season and making a Pro Bowl playing on a hip so badly damaged his doctor said he didn't know how the guy could WALK, much less play football at an elite level. When Emmitt Smith held out the first two games of a season demanding a new contract SOLELY because Thurman Thomas had just replaced him as the NFL best paid back, Troy Aikman gave back a big chunk of his one-year-old contract to repeat as Champs.

A precious few guys have as much class as talent, and their rarity makes them so much more precious it should be noticed and appreciated. I don't really think Fox among them though.

I don't think this is true. According to Elway, Fox would have wanted out for the same reason Elway would have wanted him out - they disagreed on how to take Denver "to the next level."

If this is the case, then Elway wanted him gone as much as Fox wanted to be gone. Fox was probably searching for a job because he knew anything short of a Superbowl win would result in him losing his job, and with a team as good as this one on paper, rightfully so.
