TJ, I hate Merril Hoge, and I hope people in Denver don't take anything he has to say about Tim Tebow seriously.
-- Jim Rebough, Englewood, Colorado
Jim: First, let's not hate anyone. I could recommend a good therapist in the Denver Metro area if you need to get that under control. With respect to Merril Hoge, he certainly knows more about football than most of us, but that doesn't mean he's right about Tim Tebow. After Hoge's Twitter account exploded with Tebow criticism yesterday, he went on 104.3 The Fan and continued his tirade.

Dude, we've been missing your Mail Revue out here in Sin City. Don't tell me you've stopped. It will bring me to tears. At least give us your thoughts on the end to the lockout, won't you?

Like a Raiders fan without a job, I've been sitting in my parents' basement playing Call of Duty: Black Ops.

TJ, since the Broncos are hell bent on dropping Ryan Harris and going with rookie Orlando Franklin at right tackle, why not flip our tackles so our best lineman, Ryan Clady, is protecting Tebow’s blind side?

TJ, I read your stupid column last week blasting Woody Paige for suggesting that Kyle Orton never offered encouragement to Tim Tebow. Let me jump completely into bed with Woody here. You are guilty of cherry picking. You took one shot of Orton on the sideline and used it to suggest that Tebow and Orton were fast friends during Weeks 16 and 17. That's ridiculous. Paige is onto something here. I can feel it. Orton is a sulker. You should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself "The Dude?" I don't like your name and I don't like your blog.

TJ, last week I read your piece on the lockout in which you very much sided with the players. I see your points about the players having very short careers and that most of them aren't millionaires. I even get that most of them are going to have health problems. I'm even willing to cede that the owners are old, rich white guys who throw temper tantrums when they don't get their way. But aren't you missing the whole point here? Your socialist rant didn't address the fundamental issue of the negotiation itself.

TJ, congratulations to one of the Broncos' favorite sons, Shannon Sharpe, for making it into the Hall of Fame! What an honor for yet another Bronco. I just wish he would have been inducted earlier. It seemed a little belated to me.

Dude, okay, here's the deal. I know that you've got this thing where you criticize the Denver Post each and every day. It's like Fat Man's thing. I get that. I really do. But do you need to do it so often? Every day? Certainly, Woody Paige can't be that bad 24/7. Is Jeff Legwold walking around like a character from the movie Rain Man the very moment he awakes? Did Mark Kiszla sell his soul to the devil? Don't get me wrong, you guys are the best thing out there. I get a laugh everyday from reading your stuff. But you, Doug Lee, and now Ted are really laying it on thick, don' you think? You going after Lindsay Jones next?

TJ, I'm laughing all the way to the NFC Championship game, while the Broncos are saddled with the #2 draft pick. Thanks, Broncos fans, for giving us the franchise quarterback we needed here in Chicago. I noticed your silly post the other day on Cutler. Do you really believe that garbage? Rick Reilly is a complete hack as are you. Both of you obviously have had a problem with Jay Cutler from day one. And even if that stuff is true, who really cares, idiot? Since when does listening to John Elway mean jack? You're just jealous we're heading to the Super Bowl, while you're stuck with a guy who still can't even take a snap from center and spends more time with the bible than he does his playbook.

TJ, let me be quick to the point. After John Elway comes on board, the Broncos are going to give Xanders full GM powers and hire Jim Fassel as coach. Think about it, Dude. Who was the coach that tutored Elway and Phil Simms? Fassel. Who resurrected Kerry Collins' career? Fassel. The early 1990s were off the hook for Elway under Fassel. I really think Bowlen and Elway are going turn back the clock. You hear that little bitty ting? That's the sound of a lightbulb going off over Elway's head right now.
In case you didn't know it, Fassel is also the one guy who won't be scared away by the theory that Tim Tebow can't play quarterback, either. Remember you heard it here first, straight out of Palm Beach!

TJ, I'm glad the Broncos rid themselves of McDaniels. Guy had a huge Napoleon complex, and further, his hair cut was atrocious. He deserved to get canned for the hair alone. Dude could have used a short spiked look with the ends razor cut to add some texture. He could have combined this with just a little facial hair as well. I had been thinking of a slight pencil mustache. But what do I know? Let me ask you the right question. It's obvious we need a new GM before we get a coach, so who should the GM be?
