Broncos offensive coordinator.

From CNNSI.com: Mike Shanahan hired Rick Dennison, his offensive line coach, to replace Gary Kubiak as his offensive coordinator. The most important paragraph of the story is the last:

Dennison has been with the Broncos since Shanahan was hired as coach in 1995.
The former Broncos linebacker (1982-90) appeared in three Super Bowls as a
player and served as the team's offensive line coach for the last five seasons.
During that time, the Broncos rushed for an NFL-best 11,644 yards and
surrendered the fifth-fewest sacks (151), including a franchise-low 15 in 2004.

Not for nothing, but how does a linebacker become an offensive coordinator, by way of great offensive line coach?

Study the opposition long enough, you understand it better than most. Well enough to become the opposition. There's a lesson in this somewhere.

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious.

From ABCNews.com's The Note, this is satirical display of leaked Republican and Democrat memos outlying a strategy for success in the 2006 midterm elections. The first is the Republican memo.

Re: Strong and Right

Seems pretty simple — no metaphors required:

Faith, family, and freedom. Keep you safer. Lower taxes and less government. Reform, reform, reform. Some Democrats have a pre-9/11 mindset. Howard Dean, John Kerry, Michael Moore.

This is the Democratic memo:

Grammarian's apologies: Posting error required redaction of the Dem memo. Trust me, it was funny. And long.

Welcome, Grammarians...
