Broncos New Coach & NFL thoughts | The Skippy Smithy Report

As a Bronco fan I was hestant about who Pat Bowlen would pick to replace Mike Shannahan, I agreed that Shannahan needed to part ways with Denver for both sides but could we upgrade?? I support the decision to hire Josh McDaniels, yes the Broncos needed to hire a defensive mind but the word on the street is that Mike Nolan will join the team to coach the defense, Nolans resume before the 49ers includes the defensive coordinator of the Ravens and several other defensive stints, my intution tells me that while Nolans reputation took a big hit during his tenure at San Francisco this is a smart hire and Nolan may be just what Denver means, so in the end this hire gets a good grade, what do you think?

Does it appear to be the end of the road for LaDanian Tomlinson in San Diego, to my knowledge Darren Sproles will be a free agent and San Diego can't afford to lose him as he is also so important for special teams and they probly wont want to pay high dollar for two similar running backs, my guess is that they release Tomlinson who has passed his days of being elite, keep Sproles and draft a bigger back that can take the pounding that Sproles can't

Is Pacman done? I believe that ESPN has exploited Adam "Pacman" Jones for headlines and breaking news, I think that they continue to make something from nothing in order to have news. Im not sticking up for Pacman I just wonder if the media blew this out of proportion.

Is the Giants biggest problem the big reciever that they lack as a result of Plaxico Buress' legal woes, guess they should have done this Jerry Jones style and let him play.

I think its time for not only Brett Favre to retire but also Jake Delhomme to fade away, and put Kerry Collins on the list.

Who has the most to gain from their coach retiring Seattle or Indianapolis?I would say Seattle because Mike Holmgran seemed to be a lame duck this year, but they did deal with a lot of injurys so that might not be a fair claim. Dungy is certainly a fine coach but there is a lot of talent in Indy, they may be on there way down with or without Dungy as a result of age though.
