Ted Sundquist OUT as Broncos General Manager

**Bowser** · 03-12-2008, 07:51 PM

Per Sirius NFL Radio Network.

I guess they expect more out of their front office in Denver, since they haven't won a Super Bowl in a decade. Carl truly is invincible here.

Don't care if this is a repost.

Then they'd fire Shanny. He pulls all the strings, Sundquist is yet another scapegoat. Shanny's kind of running out of guys to blame at this point, though.

Who's left to pin it on? Bolen?

Difference is that the Rat pulls all the strings in Denver.

He just threw Sundquist under the bus.

Shanahan must have incriminating photos of Bolen in his fur coat. A nuke could go off in Denver, and Shanahan would stroll out of the crater, with his teeth leading the way.

Shanahan, nibbling on a giant piece of cheese, said "I am grateful to Ted for all his hard work and efforts on behalf of the Broncos for the past 16 years, and for taking it up the ass so I don't have to."

Wow, the Head Coach announcing the GM was leaving. Shany really does steer the ship around there.
