Schlereth is great. I guess I can kind of see how he's like the dad who coaches his son and overcompensates by being too hard on him with the Broncos -- but at the same time, do we feel like his criticisms have been unfair?

He's a little showy - but that's how you have a long time career as an analyst.

I have no issue with his views on the Broncos. I just hate him because he's your stereotypical "Back in MY day" type of douchebag old guy. He's just a condescending ahole who thinks his opinion is the gold standard because "I played and you didn't".

How dare a Champion caliber OLineman criticize another OLineman!

Can you read? Literally no one has an issue with his comments on Bolles.

I know he always has a great day of practice on Wednesdays. Vance told us this all the time.

Back in MY day Sir we would horse-whip vulgarians like you! And then we'd sentence you to a term of hard labour working on the railroads and telegraph lines! Or hard labour in the Zeppelin works!

Stink is annoying. He usually has a decent point, but he is grating. Chaz is right in that he almost seems stoked when Denver sucks. He also seems to enjoy being a dick. While every thing he said yesterday was true, I doubt that he'd have gone as hard on another tackle having that shitty of a game. I sincerely doubt that Stink would have the gumption to talk that much shit in front of Bolles It reminded me of Shaq shitting on JaVale McGee.

To put it in perspective, he's ALWAYS talked shit about Bolles. Last week he went from calling him Bollesy to the player who shall not be named. His disgust with him is long running, not a recent thing. He's not wrong.

Also, since Big Al went to KOA, the Fan is now on this kick that they aren't affiliated with the Broncos and will be critical when necessary. Seems they are ramping that up, maybe a bit worried Big Al will be stealing some listeners.

I know GEM, and that's sort of what irks me. He's supposed to be non-biased and what not. The LT on his old team blows ass and he seems relentlessly happy to go beyond normal harsh criticism.

I don't disagree with what he said so much as disagree with how he said it.

Mark Schlereth let me wear his Super Bowl ring and I will never have a bad word to say about the guy as long as I live...

I also enjoy his commentary. I like an analyst who doesn't pull any punches and will say what he means.

I get it. He's a Denver God.

You can make the same points without the delight in destruction.

I think his intent is to avoid being a "homer".

He just goes too far sometimes in the other direction.

I don't have a single issue with him calling it out. The only think that bugs me about him is his constant need to talk about himself. But when he talks Broncos, he is usually right.

It's kind of fitting that the year the Chiefs drafted Mahomes, we drafted this guy - and the rest is history...

I could have done without this realization. I hate you.
