    NFL Odd Jobs: Mascot Handlers

    Interesting little, er, tale here about the team of 6 people who are assigned to, shall we say, wrangle the mascot of the Denver Broncos, Thunder III.

    Of note...

    One person has the dubious honor of, ah, cleaning up after Thunder III, well... you know.

    His day job? During the week, he is David C. Blake, Chief Deputy Attorney General for Legal Policy and Government Affairs, Office of the Attorney General for the State of Colorado.

    He says the two jobs don't mesh. But I think they do. Between dealing with lawyers, and dealing with galloping horses, both of his jobs have him dealing with a lot of...

    Love the Steelers, they are handling the Dolphins much better this time around. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is speaking to reporters at halftime. I wish Tomlin did not sound like "Marvin the Martian" when he talks.

    No, that's the way Tomlin talks. At least they don't have a play named after the Illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator... or do they?

    One does have to wonder why he left Roethlisberger in the game for the later half of the 4th quarter, though. I'll betcha apples to oranges that the offensive coaching staff is getting the 3rd degree on that decision, with him leaving the game in a walking boot, thanks to his ankle injury on that last play (schmuck should have taken the sack, too, not that the interception ultimately made much of a difference)
