&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The Denver Zoo is about to open up Asian Tropics on June 1st. (Technically its name is Toyota Elephant Passage, but Toyota didn't pay me a dime, and it was going to be called Asian Tropics until a few months ago when somebody wrote a check.) As a donor (Jen wrote a check), we got a sneak peak of it this past Sunday. It's pretty cool, I must say. That long tusked gentleman at the top of the page is Groucho, one of two new elephants at the zoo thanks to Asian Tropics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;If that bridge looks sturdy enough for an Elephant to walk across, you're getting the idea. No elephants were taking a bridge stroll on Sunday, but I hope to see it someday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;They do have lots of cool signage, although, I'm not entirely sure what this one is about. As far as I can tell, this sign means no stacking rocks, playing Tetris, simulating Rainbows with your arms, No cat mating, No number 60s, No Dynamite, No kicking wildlife, No Hile Hitler salutes, and no surrounding yourself with very small blocks. Good safety information, there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z4YsHKxx9C4/T7RrsQwGj-I/AAAAAAAACk0/8bquALifgPU/s1600/Welcome.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z4YsHKxx9C4/T7RrsQwGj-I/AAAAAAAACk0/8bquALifgPU/s320/Welcome.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Greetings and Salutations, people. Did you hear me on Dave Dameshek's NFL podcast, and decided to come check out the site to see what I'm all about?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;1. Thanks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;2. Sucker.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;So, who am I?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Well, Dave had me on his NFL.com podcast to be an NFL expert and represented me, this website, and my weekly podcast as YOUR source for Denver sports. While I am a hard core Broncos fan, I can't claim in reality to be that big of an expert, and Vertically Striped Radio is hardly a hard core sports show...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;While we do talk a lot of sports on &lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/lcs" target="_blank"&gt;Vertically Striped Radio&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;we're just as likely to discuss&amp;nbsp;my&amp;nbsp;persistent&amp;nbsp;belief that New Hampshire doesn't exist, The theological implications of Admiral Ackbar, or&amp;nbsp;spend an entire episode&amp;nbsp;discussing&amp;nbsp;The Mighty Ducks 2. (No seriously, we once did an entire episode on The Mighty Ducks 2.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;So, you might say I'm an odd duck, but I'm mostly harmless. I'm the kind of guy who puts a Lego representation of the Village People at my desk at work just because the weird looks from others amuse me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LghNPHVAnPM/T7RoRIGgeDI/AAAAAAAACko/vauh0UcJooA/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LghNPHVAnPM/T7RoRIGgeDI/AAAAAAAACko/vauh0UcJooA/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;As you may have deduced, I'm a pretty big Denver Broncos fan, and a fan of all the Denver teams, really. While I'm a huge sports fan, I also dig movies, indie music, and posting with the fellas over at the Dave Dameshek message board. (You should definitely go there, sign up, and start posting with the good people over there...if you aren't already.) &lt;a href="http://www.dameshek.com/"&gt;www.Dameshek.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;If I appear to be the kind of odd that you could enjoy getting to know, you can check me out in a few different ways.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;1. Subscribe to Vertically Striped Radio on iTunes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

You'll get VSR along with The LCS Hockey Show, The Ed Show, The No Name Show, and The Super Great Internet Show...lots of great programming each week.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;3. Check out &lt;a href="http://www.verticallystripedsocks.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Craig Explains the Universe&lt;/a&gt; (The official Tumblr of Vertically Striped Socks)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Anyhow, thanks for stopping by, and until we meet again on the interwebs, Shalom and Good Evening to you all...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3kx5Czoi-IY/S3d8Gmue4SI/AAAAAAAABn0/gTbL0Fa7JkA/s1600/VSR+Broncos+Font+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3kx5Czoi-IY/S3d8Gmue4SI/AAAAAAAABn0/gTbL0Fa7JkA/s320/VSR+Broncos+Font+2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Cinco de Mayo was in full effect, so naturally VSR celebrated by honoring Barney Fife, as if that made any sense whatsoever. (We wait until very late in the show to honor him, but it DOES happen.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Mostly what went down on Episode 161 was a whole lot of sports talk. Face couldn't make it to the show, but The Whale called in early and we yapped a bit about the Kentucky Derby, and Craig and The Whale announced the horses they were supporting along with the horses they would cheer against...based almost entirely on the horse names, of course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Elevation called in after the horse talk, and we began a long discourse on the NBA playoffs with brief interludes about Mad Men and The Walking Dead. We take a small break from that chatter to watch a rather exciting Kentucky Derby. After the horse race, we put in a call to Bruce Dodge who helps us break down the NBA a bit further.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Craig wraps up the show with a music recommendation from The Faces of "Ooh La La" and then follows it up with a remake of the same tune. (Then the Barney Fife spectacular at the end.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;With the NFL Draft, NHL and NBA Playoffs, and Baseball all going on, Craig had to talk a decent amount of sports with Face at the top of the show. After they got through the mandatory sports discussion, we ticketed some deserving Wankers and then Face and Craig went head to head in a Magnificent Seven list of our Top 7 NES Games. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The show finished up with our television correspondant Elevation called in and took a good chunk of the show discussing The Walking Dead. The guys even sneaked in a tiny bit of Mad Men talk before wrapping things up with a music recommendation of "Never Had Nobody Like You" from M. Ward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The show that killed Dick Clark keeps churning along. Things get a bit off the rails as Craig watches sports while doing the show. While trying to keep the show on track, we catch the tail end of Bruins-Capitals, we call the final few outs of a perfect game pitched in Seattle by the Chicago White Sox's Philip Humber, and Craig keeps his eye on a Nuggets victory in Phoenix which sealed a playoff berth for Denver. In between all that sports action, Craig and Face talk a good deal of...sports. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Despite the fact that things were pretty loosey-goosey, it was actually a pretty fun show. (And not entirely based around sports.) The Whale showed up as Face and Craig went head to head in the Magnificent Seven with Top 7 Bald Guys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The show finished up with the Vertically Striped Radio television correspondant Elevation calling in and gabbing about Mad Men and The Walking Dead with Craig. We wrapped up with a music recommendation of "Same Thing" from the Barenaked Ladies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;After doing the first minute of the show on mute, Craig was kind of off for the entire show.

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Craig and Face spent some time breaking down the NHL playoffs, the oddness that is Darts as Spectator Sport in England, and Kelly Shoppach performing the worst slide into second base in the history of Major League Baseball.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Then the Ed called in and we quickly lost control. At one point we had Craig, Face, Ed, The Whale, Elevation and Nalax all on the line. Things started going nuts and Ed started comparing women to cars and demanding everyone's love life history. It was like the anchor fight in Anchorman...it really got out of hand fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;We finished up with a recommendation of "No Way Down" from the new The Shins Album "Port of Morrow".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;After a long time away, Craig decided to open with a Johnny Cash bang! We discussed our Dead Pool choices, Craig's dream of his non-existant iPad starting to inexplicably run Windows 95 and 26 Dollar Hot Dogs among other things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The Ed dialed in and we rambled on with him for a bit, and he "played a tape" of Craig from the past when allegedly Craig hated Peyton Manning. The guys also chatted with Ed about the new Nike NFL uniforms and lamented the atrocious decison of the Seattle Seahawks new uniform choice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Craig had a Magnificent Seven list of seven memorable things from his 2012 Road Trip to Tennessee, and Face and Craig finished up with an impromptu ranking of their Top 5 NFL logos. Also, Craig chastized Larry Fairish for his decision to talk bad about The Muppets movie despite not seeing the whole thing. The show finished up with Craig recommending "Montezuma" from The Fleet Foxes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I am a Christian. I am a huge Denver Broncos fan. I couldn't be happier that Tim Tebow is no longer a Bronco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I think this makes me weird. If you go by trends, I am supposed to be angry that John Elway got rid of Tim Tebow. I'm supposed to be in a fit of rage and ready to be grabbing either a torch or a pitchfork and storming Bronco headquarters to demand someone pay for this outrage. I'm probably not supposed to have a dumb grin on my face that I can't seem to wipe off that has been there all week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Here's the thing, I respect Tim Tebow as a person. I'd probably vote for him for president should he run once he turns 45 years old. I think he's the kind of person that makes good decisions in life and has a solid head on his shoulders. He's a good kid, he also is a mediocre quarterback. As easy as it was to cheer for Tim, I have had trepidation about him being the long term answer for the Broncos. The reason for this is because I think last year was a fluke. A wonderfully fun and exciting fluke, but a fluke nonetheless.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The thing about flukes is that they tend to stop happening. Tebow was going to enter camp as the number one quarterback on the roster. The reason for this are three-fold: 1. There were no other viable options. 2. There were no other viable options. 3. There were no other viable options. As soon as Peyton Manning became available, suddenly all three reasons were no longer valid AND John Elway had a 4 time MVP Golden Ticket out of Tebowville. The local fan base has grown an unhealthy obsession with Tim. As wonderful as Tebow has been, the irrational fervor surrounding him has become equally unbearable. A large contingent of people who didn't care about football or the Broncos are now very angry that Tebow is no longer a Bronco.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;There is an element of faith I like about Timmy, but there is a transitive element of faith that I despise about his diehard fans. His belief in God is admirable and honest, however the transitive property is that because he has faith in something, we should have faith in him as a football player. Look, I have faith in God, that doesn't make me able to throw a timing route to a slot&amp;nbsp;receiver running a seam pattern. Tim's believe in God does not help him play quarterback in the NFL. The fact that so many Christians seem to believe in him as a spiritual force for good on the football field is baffling to me. He's a Christian that also happens to play football. He works hard to do his best, and he's a gritty player, but his release on his throws is humorous. I can't decide if it's the fact that it takes so long or looks so terrible that bothers me most about the way he throws. What I do know is that I did not want to pin any hopes for the Broncos on him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;People unfamiliar with football are confusing hype with talent. Just because Tebow is the most talked about athlete in the NFL last year doesn't mean he was anywhere close to the best. If you don't believe me, please note that he just was traded away to the Jets for a&amp;nbsp;measly 4th round draft pick...For those unfamiliar with football, a Fourth round pick has roughly the same value to an NFL team as that quarter you found on the floor of your local grocery store checkout stand. It's worth bothering to bend over to pick up, but it's not going to change your life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;You don't believe me when I say that Tebow's football ability is not greatly respected by football people? You need to understand that the Jets picked him up to be the backup to Mark Sanchez. Sanchez is a quarterback consistently rated in the bottom third of NFL quarterbacks, and yet most reasonable football people believe that Tebow has virtually no shot an unseating him. Football wise, Tebow's value has been wildly overstated by his fans. He's a backup quarterback with unique skills. He has everything you'd want in a quarterback with the notable and critical&amp;nbsp;exception of being incapable of&amp;nbsp;throwing the ball well. Some believe this is something he can learn with practice and training, I do not share this belief.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;While Tebow's value as a quarterback is average at best, his value as a sideshow attraction is through the roof. Tebow has a unique ability to take people with little interest in football and make them interested in football. He galvanizes people who never before were interested, and quickly they become Tebow fans. The problem is that these people who know nothing about football suddenly are passionate about Tebow, but still remain people that know virtually nothing about football. These well meaning folks are under the mistaken impression that his magnetic personality equates to football prowess. It doesn't. I've spoken with these&amp;nbsp;misguided&amp;nbsp;fans all week. They all hold a belief that Tebow is going to morph into one of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL and make Denver pay for getting rid of him. They have a healthy amount of anger at the Broncos for not holding on to Tebow. They are the reason that I'm glad he's been traded. I'm tired of the side show.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Here is why I'm ecstatic about the developments of the past 2 weeks. I believe Peyton Manning is ten times the quarterback Tim Tebow will ever be. I'm hopeful he still has something left in the tank, and I am hopeful he can make the Broncos an NFL contender. There is an excellent chance I am wrong, but here is why I'm still on board with the Manning decision despite it's risks. I believe that Tim Tebow would have stopped getting the ridiculous breaks he was getting last season. Football statisticians much smarter than I have estimated that the Broncos overachieved by 3 to 4 games last season. Even with that large of a benefit of luck, they still managed to only get to 8-8 and barely made the playoffs on the 3rd or 4th tiebreaker. I believe that had the Broncos gone into next season with Tebow at Quarterback that they would have experienced a severe regression to the mean. All the breaks went Tebow's way last year, and that is unsustainable. He would start to have the breaks go against him, and the Broncos would have finished with a poor record.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Naturally, all of this is conjecture. I can't prove what would have happened, but I can look to see what will happen. I feel like Manning is a good risk, even if it turns out that he's washed up. At least gives the Broncos a legit shot to be something special. I can't imagine that the Broncos under Tebow would ever be anything better than they were last season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I also feel like there is a very good chance that Tebow never again starts in the NFL. I don't understand why the Jets would want him, but from all accounts it sounds like he is going to be used as a short-yardage gimmick, playing three or four plays a game. Not exactly a recipe for long-term success in the NFL. My guess? He washes out of the NFL within 3 years with nowhere near the level of success he had last year. I'm hoping he improves and has a good career, because he's a fun guy to watch and cheer for. I just don't have a lot of faith in his football ability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;As for why I'm glad he's no longer a Bronco? It's a selfish reason. Sure, he was fun to watch for the final five minutes of a game, but the first 55 minutes were often a mixture of painful and humorous. He'd look absolutely hopeless for giant stretches of games, and that was depressing and boring to watch. I like the idea that we might have a quarterback who can sling it again. The vertical passing game seems so much more likely, and the level of excitement for the first three quarters is due to rise. I'm all in with Manning, and now I can watch the final five minutes of any Tebow game without having to endure being emotionally invested in the first 55 minutes of pain.

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Craig was irrationally exuberant about the Peyton Manning signing, and as such, he went on a Lebatardian rant before discussing how he feels about Peyton signing in Denver. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell Tim Tebow thanks for the memories. I'll root for him wherever he ends up next, even as I'll be glad that he'll no longer be a Bronco. Best wishes, Tim.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;This was the final VSR for March, so we went really long to make up for the next two dark Saturdays. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;It was an Irish themed show, sort of. We began with a merging of Muppets and Ireland for an intro, and then went into some sports discussion with Face, we did a Magnificent Seven list of 7 things we like about The Irish/Ireland, and then finished off with a lengthy and surprisingly heated discussion of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie from 1990.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Face and Craig dominated discussion today, with a bit of a cameo from The Whale. Our apologies to Ed, who called in, but we never got to him. The Show was already going long, so it's probably a good thing he hung up. The show wrapped up with a music recommendation from Tim Berry of the song, "Avoiding Catatonic Surrender". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I have no idea if this show is any good to listen to, but it sure was fun to make. Hope you enjoy it, and sorry it's so stinking long. We'll be back in April!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;After skipping out on doing a live show on Saturday afternoon, Craig puts together a half hour podcast to explain, to share his excitement at the possibility of Peyton Manning in the Orange and Blue, and to break out some ancient radio commercials. Things wrapped up with a music recommendation from Bright Eyes of the song "Four Winds". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;As Peyton Manning is touring Denver, Phoenix, and Miami trying to decide where he is going to play, I look at this photo of him with John Fox and John Elway and just keep thinking, "Please make this happen!" I am still doubtful he ends up in Denver, and although I realize there are plenty of reasons that I should be hoping Manning doesn't come to the Broncos, I can't help but keep wishing and hoping. I want him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Here's the thing, Dude is about to turn 36 years old. He has had three or four neck&amp;nbsp;surgeries&amp;nbsp;in the past year or so, and there is precious little proof that he can even throw a football right now. Best case scenario he gives you two or three years of football. And clearly he's past his prime and due to start declining rapidly. Still, here is the thing...HE'S PEYTON MANNING! If he's right, and if he is able to come in and sling it, he's one of the best of all time. Sure, he'll always belong to Indianapolis, not whichever city he ends up in at the tail end of his career, but that never bothered Denverites when it was Ray Bourque on the Avalanche in 2001, and it won't bother us now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;We want Peyton. The very idea that it's even within the realm of possibility makes me giddy. When Peyton Manning is right, he's one of the few quarterbacks that is a difference maker all by himself. He guarantees nothing. He's only managed to get one ring in the whole of his Hall of Fame career. However, having him on your squad means you're in the discussion. Not in the discussion in a Tim Tebow "isn't this interesting how a bad quarterback is winning" kind of way, but in a "this team has the potential to win a Super Bowl" kind of way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I'm a fan of Tim Tebow. This past season was one of the more interesting and surprising and fun in my three decades of being a Broncos fan. Still, Timmy isn't winning a Super Bowl. Ever. Should the Broncos miss out on Peyton Manning, I'll try to delude myself into believing that isn't a fact. However, I believe it to be the truth. I think Tebow is a great person, wonderful character, and someone who is going to work very hard to improve himself. I'm not sure if there is anyone in history I've hoped for harder while believing in less. I would love nothing more than to see Tebow win multiple Super Bowls, and I'll root for him to succeed throughout his entire career be it in a Denver Bronco uniform or be it elsewhere. I like Tim. I just don't think he's the type of elite quarterback capable of wearing an ugly hat on the sidelines as the confetti falls at the end of the last game of the season.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Here is where Peyton fits a need so strongly with the Broncos. Tebow has become so beloved in this town. It's going to take something special for an uncomfortably large section of the local fan base that I like to call "the idiots who believe Tebow is better than Elway" to be okay with kicking number 15 to the curb. It's hard to find a quarterback capable of making these people sign off on a change under center. Tebow is their hero. Manning has the credentials to make this happen, and even if people don't embrace it, they'll understand it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;I don't know if Tebow would be traded (which seems likely, as it seems impossible that Tebow and Manning would possibly run the same system since they are vastly different quarterbacks) or perhaps Tebow would be the backup (again, not sure how that would work). Either way, the Broncos would be able to move on without too large of a backlash. How do you complain about moving a quarterback who's throwing motion hurts to watch for one of the greatest of all time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Now, there will be some backlash, and if Manning ends up signing in Denver and struggling to return to form, we're going to hear it from the second guessers. However, if it works, the ceiling for the next two or three years is significantly higher than it has been since Elway retired. It's a potential greatness that is worth shelving or trading Timmy to attempt to achieve, even if it fails. Manning makes you relevant. Manning makes you interesting. It's a huge gamble with the potential of torpedoing the Broncos. Manning is worth the risk.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4720852012614449367-2114986090229951419?l=www.verticallystripedsocks.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;It was Leap Week, and Craig was ready to institute some changes to make Leap Day a bigger part of our society. We played "Something to Think About" with Face and The Whale and introduced ideas such as a miniature McDonalds, the Feel No Evil Monkey, and getting society to start walking on escalators. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Craig played an excellent Moth story that revolved around an exceptional Drivers Ed teacher and his Yeti. And we also did a quick Magnificent 7 of Craig's Top Seven "I Can't Explain This" Girls. The show wrapped with a recommendation of "It's a Big World" by Renee &amp;amp; Jeremy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Craig fought through the Flu to bring you Episode 152. It also appeared that Siri from his iPhone was taking over the program for a moment, but mostly we just wanted to confuse Face.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Face and Craig went head to head in dueling Magnificent Seven lists where we counted down our Top 7 Movie Villains. The guys had only one villain in common, and it was most unexpected that he'd make even one list not to mention BOTH.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;After the list, The Ed called in and stretched his 15 minutes into about 40. The highlight of which was his plans for working up his own plan to sterilize men for up to 5 years at a time. Lets just say it involves Super Glue, a Cap, Tin Foil, and sneaking his products onto a Wal-Mart shelf without permission...What could POSSIBLY go wrong?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Craig eventually broke down the movie that  SHOULD win the Oscar for Best Picture (The Help) along with the movie that WILL win Best Picture (The Artist). He also broke down six of the other seven nominees as he's been on a bit of a Best Picture nominee watching spree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;The Vertically Striped Music Recommendation came from one of Craig's favorite groups, The Barenaked Ladies with "Maybe You're Right".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;We also heard from The Ed who chimed in to educate us on the latest details on Jeremy Lin and also to inform us that the Beatles were from New York. Apparently, he couldn't take hearing from a fake FSU co-ed trying to seduce "Jerry Lin" because she really likes black guys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Face and Craig finish up with a quick round of "Would you rather?" before things wrapped up with "Middle of the Night" from the well named Easten Conference Champions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Sometimes a movie just makes you happy. Hugo was that movie for me. Hugo is an orphan who is down on his luck but has an insatiable desire to fix things. He ends up fixing some very important things and making the world a better place for a bunch of people involved in the story. It's not a perfect movie, but it's probably the best thing I have seen that was made in 2011. See it. (Also, it's nominated for Best Picture, so it has that going for it.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Hope it wins the Oscar. (Although there is practically zero chance of that happening.) It's heartwarming and sweet and also makes you feel good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4720852012614449367-8553782830515483853?l=www.verticallystripedsocks.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;It was a day of emnity as Craig has a new nemesis and a Best Picture nominee that he hates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Face and the Whale joined Craig and the VSR crew reviewed Super Bowl commercials (including a few commercials that you almost certainly did not see during the Super Bowl), gave kudos to Madonna for a decent halftime show, recounted the glory of the Holly Marie Combs Twitter Wars, passed out some yellow and red cards to deserving wankers, and helped Craig count down the Magnificent 7 most annoying mispronunciations list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;We wrapped things up with a music recommendation of "Did You Ever Look So Nice" from The Samples.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;It's a VSR mini-episode.
