A Lions player had this to say about playing against Timothy Richard last Sunday:
“Can you believe ’15’? Come on – that’s embarrassing. I mean, it’s a joke. We knew all week that if we brought any kind of defensive pressure, he couldn’t do anything. In the second half it got boring out there. We were like, ‘Come on – that’s your quarterback? Seriously?’ ”
It is hard to blame any Lion for taking pleasure in temporarily derailing Tebowmania. They heard about it all week and some commentators even called this a "must-see" game just because of Tebow's inexplicable run at the end of the Dolphins game. In that situation, who wouldn't want to destroy him to make a point?
As for them saying they were bored...For now let's hope they were just twisting the knife a little bit after the fact. But if the Raiders are winning by so much this Sunday that they can belittle the Broncos franchise this way afterwards, then management's hand might be forced again. But, you know, this time it would be for actual football reasons...

Bryant Gumbel concluded his show Real Sports recently with these thoughts on the NBA lockout:
Remember that time Hank Williams, Jr. compared President Obama to Hitler? I do. There's a reason that bothered people and cost him his spot as the opener for Monday Night Football. You just can't say that. The holocaust is a singularly horrific event and there will (hopefully) never be anything that can be compared to it intelligently. It was an insensitive, unintelligent and ineffective use of hyperbole. Some horrible historical events or concepts need to be left alone and not employed for the sake of argument. Ever.
This is the same thing. He very well might have a valid point when he says David Stern is contributing to the problem. He could have made that point quite effectively without making a comparison to slavery. You know why people have little patience with lockouts? Because each side will come out on the other side making millions of dollars. And Gumbel actually compared that to slavery?
Bryant Gumbel might be a "serious journalist" but that does not afford this type of moronic comparison any more substance or validity, and he should be embarrassed that he made it.
A Bonus Video!
Here's that Hank Williams, Jr clip. He might have said something stupid, but boy does he look goooood....
He makes a great point. With the country this shape is in we all have to pick sides.

@AndrewSiciliano: CU coach Jon Embree after Matt Barkley's 6 TD's: "That's why he needs to leave next year. That's why he needs to go."
Does anybody else think that certain members of Broncos nation think he needs to go because he'll look great in the orange and blue? I bet some of them do.
An Announcement
I have started another site: it's a solo act (and named accordingly). It is not replacing Warning Track Power by any means; it will be just have slighty different content. Please do check it out, tell your friends, share with the world!: http://www.haydenwilliam.com/
As for Warning Track Power, it is still alive and kicking, even if it didn't seem that way for a while. We are going to ever-so-slighty expand our scope to include some discussions of pop culture (mainly certain television shows and video games). In the coming weeks, you can look forward to an extensive Entourage series review by Ryan Douglas Presley, a look at the NFC North by David Schaffner, and a fresh and interesting take on just what the heck is happening with the Oakland Raiders by Michael Mason. Stay tuned!
A Prediction...
...or two. 1. LSU over Alabama because for all the talk about 'Bama's defense being historically great, I agree with what Scott Van Pelt said about LSU's defense at the beginning of the season: they move so fast that they look like extra-terrestrials. 2. Steelers over Ravens BIG, because Big Ben is hot and Joe Flacco is bad.
A Bonus Prediction!
Tim Tebow will complete fewer than 14 passes Sunday...and he'll be the best quarterback in the game (Carson Palmer, ladies and gentlemen!). The Broncos will trip over themselves and win a tight, ugly game, which means we all get another week of Tebowmania. Enjoy!
