DENVER, Co. - Traded to Cleveland from Denver in the much-ballyhooed Brady Quinn trade, fullback Peyton Hillis drove all the way from his new Ohio home to the Bronco's training facilities before remembering he was no longer a Bronco.
"Aw, dammit," said Hillis, a bruising 230lbs. fullback who was traded on Monday. "I musta been on auto-pilot this morning. Went to the wrong work again."
Hillis said he became slightly suspicious when he had to fill up his truck for the fourth time on his 1,351 mile, 21 hour and 11 minute journey through six states. "Thought something was wrong with my Chevy, so thank God for that."
Hillis saw limited playing time under new coach Josh McDaniels, but wowed Mike Shanahan and the Broncos in 2008, an injury-wrought season for Denver running backs, where he also ate four lbs. of concrete on a dare from Shanahan.

I have a buddy who is in special forces now. One day, I was leaving detention and I noticed he was still sitting on a bench next to the parking lot. I asked, "What are you doing?"
ReplyDelete"I forgot where I parked."
"Well why are you just sitting around?"
"Once more cars leave, I'll be able to find mine."
"Yowzers."
Well, when you got nowhere to be, why rush it?
