Optimists Pull for Dwayne Carswell
Dwayne Carswell, Offensive Lineman for the Broncos, was in a car accident this morning (for info, click here).
Optimists, let's all say a prayer and think positive for Mr. Carswell, who has been with the Broncos for 12 years.
He is, as of this post, listed in stable, but critical, condition, with multiple internal injuries.
We're pulling for you Dwayne!

Free your mind and your ass will follow
The last 9 minutes of that game SUCKED! I'm not quite over it yet. We had a small collection of Optimists over at Boc and Grubmer's house tonight, and we tried really hard to be optimistic after that crappy loss. I'm trying to be zen master about it all, that we can't win them all, that we're still on top of the division, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera... I can't get over the fact that we're cursed against the freaking Giants! We lost Ed McCaffrey to the Giants on September 10th, 2001. Remember that game? OWCH. We won that one though, but we were in Mile High (on MNF)...
The thing that Grub and I kept coming up with was that that drive would not have happened at Mile High. The 12th Man wouldn't have let that happen. Why can't the D perform with out us? They have to know that we are in our living rooms, literally stomping our feet here in Denver (and elsewhere, am I right, Phoenix?) being as loud as we can, playing our part. Don't they pay them enough to bring it in New Jersey? That sounds really rediculous, as I reread that and try to put on my non-bronco-fan hat, that the crowd would make that much of a difference. But to that I would say: We won the last two games at home, defeating a last minute effort at points to tie or win the game by our competitors. The Broncos need the twelfth man.
So there's my optimistic statement. At least WE are doing OUR jobs here. My advice to the broncos: Pretend you are at home. Free your mind, pretend you are at mile high, and your ass will follow. Sack that quarterback!
