Conscience

A realization… I am up late again, I have six Twitter accounts to babysit, and all the heads on the tube want to talk about is the ability to stay conscience.

The team the Broncos are about to face is the same that started this most recent conversation, putting Big Ben on his ass and without conscience thought for at least a few moments. That’s been stuck in the my head regardless and now the weeks has hit hump day and there isn’t anything more intriguing to discuss than head injuries and the long-term health of these guys… and I hate to admit it’s depressing.

So I’m taking you with me. I’ve got a ton of links in front of me from the Twit (and I’m certain I can find some from the local scene), and I thought I’d share what I found along the way as I troll for retweets from fellow correspondents from the Network.

Music…

… and let’s start with @bpdouglass (my personal/golf stage on Twitter). As you would guess it is Tiger all day long in the golf crowd, and that’s just more depressing than the head injuries. I’m down to clown on ripping Tiger for his idiotic decisions and would assume that work should be handled by those that would do it best (TMZ for the information and dirt, Deadspin for the humorous stab at it).

They never let you down. I took my own Twitter jab at it (I don’t have a golf blog and I wouldn’t bore you with it here).

We can move on and do a quick check on the new Fanball Sports Network NHL account (@FanballSNNHL – the hockey writers from our group are the most active of the team… seriously, the puckheads are at it all day long with updates). Unfortunately I couldn’t tell you good hockey news from a turd on the ground (I lost my marbles for the pucks when Chelios left Chicago for the most hated of all destinations, not sure you are ever going to get me back)… but there are some solid football folks working the vines at all of our stops (we like to follow and retweet quality posts and links all day long).

Let’s move on and check in on the boys in the NBA (@FanballSNNBA – you may be noticing the pattern).

- @espn_afcwest AFC West Pro Bowl voting update – http://tinyurl.com/yevjox3 (We plugged Ryan Clady’s Facebook page last night and today we see he has fallen to 5th in the Pro Bowl voting… which is an absolute atrocity.)

- @ProFootballTalk Ryan says Sanchez “absolutely” will play on Thursday night http://is.gd/59p0D #NFL (I smile any time I see a negative headline on Mark Sanchez, not that I have anything against him other than the destruction of a  CTGFFL season due to the same propensity for turnovers you see today.)

- @ProFootballTalk McKenzie made his own break with the Saints http://is.gd/59pF7 #NFL (We post Pro Football Talk a ton… Florio and Rosenthal do solid job of reporting the news and adding a bit of insight to boot.)

How about a taste of some local flavor, some friends of mine from right here in Denver?

Let’s hit the new Twitter home for our MLB team (@FanballSNMLB).

- @YahooSports Browns RB Lewis goes on IR, career over (AP) http://ow.ly/166bDe

- @OGOchoCinco Can some1 watch my segment on Versus @ 10 on Sports Soup, tell me how it was, ill be in the air, gracias twitter world (Yes… that’s none other than Chad OchoCinco, asking folks not only to watch television, but to watch HIM on television so you can discuss the experience with him later.)

Which brings us to move to the NFL portion of our Twitter tour (@FanballSNNFL).

- @chiefsbuzztap Bob Gretz >> Putting Chill In The Chiefs … Thursday Cup O’Chiefs http://bit.ly/7wcH2M (More on the opponent of the week.)

- @ProFootballTalk Cutler on Urlacher: “Brian’s right” http://is.gd/5aoc7 #NFL (Thought some of you might still care about the guy… though it is hard to imagine that number isn’t falling.)

Last but certainly not least, we head to the spot of the hour…. @BroncosStable.

- @kimberleogc : Broncos must wait to witness new-look Chiefs – The Denver Post http://tinyurl.com/yej6nl8 (No idea who “kimberleogc” is… but she posted this link, and that’s the beauty of Twitter. It’s like the Furr’s of the information world… there is plenty to avoid, but you’ll find what you want in there somewhere.)

- @fb_outsiders It’s scary how bad the KC offense is. Jamaal Charles is almost literally the entire side right now. (We love the Outsiders and couldn’t agree more with this recent evaluation.)

- @KCChiefsBlog Q&A Todd Haley 11/30 KCC head coach Todd Haley met with the media today to talk about his team’… http://bit.ly/927tAL (This is our man Ryan Jones, covering the Chiefs at ChiefsChatter.com, home of KC football on the Fanball Sports Network.)

- @ProFootballTalk Denver faces dilemma on Dumervil http://is.gd/5aJ8m #NFL (This is one of the best offerings of the week as Mike Florio dives not only into the Broncos status in keeping Dumervil beyond this year but also the issues they will face in terms of free agency, the league, and the yet-to-be-negotiated collective bargaining agreement.)

- @broncosbuzztap    Denver Post >> Woody’s Mailbag: Tiger and the truth http://bit.ly/6O5×1N (Go figure… the blowhard wants to tell you the truth about Tiger Woods. Read at your own risk.)

- @Denver_Post Orton-to-Marshall connection a boon for Broncos http://bit.ly/7ou6W1 (Just wanted to remind you of this connection as the battle with KC approaches.)

- @fb_outsiders The combination of Mike Brown and Jon McGraw was probably the worst set of safeties in football. Chiefs cut Bernard Pollard for them? (Again, I wanted to remind you of the Orton-to-Marshall hookup before we reach Arrowhead on Sunday.)

- @MileHighReport Shallow Thoughts & Nearsighted Observations http://bit.ly/4vRzzt

- @Broncoblogblitz New blog post: Pro Bowl Voting Update No. 2 http://blog.denverbroncos.com/denverbroncos/pro-bowl-voting-update-no-2/ (via @Denver_Broncos) (This is Sonny Platt, a new blogger signed on by NFL.com dedicating his focus to the Denver Broncos… you can check out his work HERE, and we’d like to welcome him into the party.)

That’s all I’ve got… and I’m off to rest, to continue watching the snow fall, and to dream of a glorious day for the Broncos on Sunday.

Thanks for stopping in.
