Browns FB Hillis Drives All The Way to Denver's Facilities Before Remembering He Was Traded

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.

NFL Live Crew Barely Contains Laughter As Merril Hoge Refers To NFL As 'Our League' Yet Again

BRISTOL, Conn. -- Following ESPN's Monday Night Football match between theIndianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins, the game day crew of NFL Live could barely stiffle their incredulous laughter as the oft-belittled Merril Hoge refers to the National Football League as "our league" as he often does in a vain attempt to claim let everyone know that contrary to popular belief, he did in fact play in the NFL.

"Let me tell you something about our league," said Hoge after a particularly brutal tackle. "It's tough out there."

"...Like you'd know know, taint-mole," snickered from Bronco's LB and Hall of Famer Tom Jackson under his breath, as fellow Bronco Hall of Famer Mark Schlereth slipped him a low five from behind.

"Yeah," added Schlereth. "Nice pin stripes, too, taint-mole."

When Hoge confronted the rest of the crew about the understated slight, most struggled to maintain a straight face, until new ESPN analyst and Super Bowl Champion Trent Dilfer bellowed "SOWWY MEWWIL!," sending everyone to the floor in tearful laughter as Hoge ran faintly off stage.

Hoge was unavailable for comment, but his friend and confidant John Clayton said that he's "taking it pretty rough, but should be fine in a few years."
