Patriots fans still smarting over 2005 Champ Bailey interceptionWelcome to the May doldrums! With the splash of free agency and the draft drying up in the soon-to-be summer sun, it’s normal for sports writers to look back on what could have been in their team’s history had things gone just a little different. One such writer, Pat Lane, from Mile High Report’ssister site, Pats Pulpit, scanned the spartan history of injustices against his team and somehow settled on one of the greatest plays in Champ Bailey’s career, the 99-yard non-scoring interception during the divisional round of the 2005 playoffs. You may review the article, here. One of the worst in NFL history? Ramifications? Come on Pat. You know better than that. Even over here in Broncos Country, we all know what the worst call in NFL history was and it pains us to say it.Just don’t tell Raiders fans we agree with them.Pat’s description of the play is entirely accurate. Tom Brady tossed an interception to Champ Bailey in the red zone and Champ ran it all the way back and had the ball knocked out of his hand at the 1-yard line. The refs called it as they saw it and the rest is history. Then Bill Belichick had the play reviewed.Being 2005, there was no pylon cam, no sideline cam, no other angles that definitively showed the ball’s location once it was knocked from 2019 Hall of Fame inductee Champ Bailey’s hands. Pat says it himself, there just isn’t a conclusive picture. Pat then goes full Zapruder, breaking down the end of the play. He carefully documents the location of the ball while completely discounting the angle of the shots. None of the photos adequately depict the ball or the goal line in relation to the sideline and goal line. The photos were taken from the roving camera-mobile thing, likely around the Patriots 15-yard line. It’s hardly an angle where a single yard can be adequately judged. For better or worse, without clear photographic evidence, which the video wasn’t then and the photos aren’t now Karl Mecklenburg Jersey , deference must be given to the refs on the field and their verdict still holds true to this day.Like in 2013 and 2015, the 2005 Patriots were no match for the Denver Broncos. Despite their tremendous success (free of controversy, scandal, and consternation), it’s interesting to see them return to one of their worst post-season losses and wonder what could have been. I know the Patriots and their fans love to create narratives where they are somehow the underdog to rally support for their team as though theirs isn’t one of the most impressive sports dynasties in sports history, but is this really the best hill on which to plant that narrative? Despite all the photos... CHAMP BAILEY IS STILL THERE... You know, out at the 1-yard line. If we’re breaking down tragedies on video, I suggest Pat look at this incredibly creepy mattress commercial that airs locally in New England. What is up with this nightmare?What’s with the turtleneck? What’s with the elongated stares? Why establish opulence only to reveal a jail cell-like room with no windows? I hold the other fellow in the commercial as complicit in whatever nefarious acts (crimes?) Tom is about to commit on this spartan and likely overpriced mattress set. “Can I get you anything?” Yeah, dude, how about a damn pillow?!

Broncos could be eyeing Dalton Risner in the 2019 NFL Draft@COPYRIGHT 2019 K-STATE ATHLETICS.During the 2019 Senior Bowl, Dalton Risner went out of his way to make sure Denver Broncos GM John Elway knew his name. Risner sprinted 40 yards across the practice field to meet the “Duke of Denver”. Risner introduced himself and stated he was trying to make his home state of Colorado proud. Dalton Risner showed the Senior Bowl why he was the nastiest Offensive Lineman in his draft class. In multiple one on one drills including ,“The Pit,” many NFL Analysts compared Risner to Indianapolis Colt Quenton Nelson. Risner has a tamed aggression, that allows his powerful frame (6’5”, 312lbs) to use leverage and dominate defenders. He is a highly intelligent player that is instinctual and efficient. But his best trait is that of coachability. While at Kansas State, Risner played Center, and Right Tackle while starting 50/51 games (past four seasons). Because of his versatility, he is also being projected to play Offensive Guard in the NFL.With newly appointed Offensive Line Coach Mike Munchak, the Broncos have started to rebuild their front five. After making Ja’Wuan James the highest paid Right Tackle, and losing Anchor Center Matt Paradis the Broncos Offensive Line remains in a state of flux.While Connor McGovern was serviceable at Center last year there are still major holes in the offensive line. Left Tackle Garett Bolles is hoping to salvage a career under his new coach, while injury prone Guard Ron Leary continues to heal. That leaves multiple positions up for grabs including Guard and Center. Initially rated as a 2nd round draft pick, Dalton Risner’s stock continues to soar.For this reason, the Broncos announced they will host Risner for a pre-draft visit. If selected, Risner has the potential to be a starter by the end of training camp. Under the tutelage of Mike Munchak and Chris Kuper, Risner can bring fundamental technique, versatility and nastiness to a group that desperately needs it.
