Was VJ super drunk and fighting a bear?

Do you do that kind of thing on a regular basis? Seems to me that's a "once in a lifetime kind of mistake you don't get to repeat."

Depends on whether you use your brief opportunity to kick bear-ass or introduce yourself to it (and the latter's kind of inefficient, since it practically ensures you'll be getting "up close and personal" with bear-ass in a day or two.)

Bears fear me.

I don't have too much back hair. I have a very hairy chest, though.

son of a bitch! effin' little weasel shanahan and the niners just hired john benton, our assistant O-line coach, away from us. . . seriously, we can't even keep dudes on our staff for one season without MFers poaching them? i get allowing your people to move, but this is kind of a kick in the nuts. . . i mean, it's not like we need the help developing our line or anything. . .

Benton was hired as the assistant offensive line coach in Denver after Vance Joseph was named the Broncos’ new head coach, but he won’t be on Joseph’s staff in 2017. Benton was granted permission to interview with the 49ers for their offensive line job and it apparently went well.

A day after Alex Marvez of Sporting News reported that Benton was finalizing a deal to join Kyle Shanahan’s staff, Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area reports that the agreement is in place. The move reunites Shanahan and Benton, who coached the offensive line in Houston when Shanahan was the offensive coordinator of the Texans for four seasons.

Pretty sure all motive for Shanny Jr. to help the Broncos succeed ended the moment we hired Joseph: Shannys job is helping SF succeed, whoever else fails.

Jon Benton; he was the assistant line coach for Kubiak and Dennisons really good ones in Houston. Elway (or "Joseph," if one insists; more likely McCoy) hired him as our assistant line coach, leaving the door open for Shanny Jr. to offer him a promotion back to his old job: He's apparently walked through that door. Since Benton's been running the Jags line since McNair cleaned house in Houston and the Jags offense hasn't done squat (except spend big to sign Beadles away from us) I'm not sure it's such a huge loss: I'd rather have his Houston understudy Frank Pollack, but doubt he leaves Dallas any time soon.

If you're being sarcastic, my bad; hard to tell in text.

Apparently they already replaced that assistant coach with Matt Paradis' former OL coach at Boise state. He wanted to come and coach in the NFL so he left a job as a head OL coach in college and came to Denver. This furthers a move for the Broncos to hire a bunch of over-qualified coaches - guys who have been offensive coordinators elsewhere coming here to be assistants, former Raiders OC who comes here to coach the WRs, guys who were OL coaches coming here to be assistant OL coaches, etc.

They certainly aren't lacking for coaching talent. Now if the OL talent was as good as the coaching talent they'd be ready to pack their bags for the SB right now.
