Wake Up, Bronco Nation: Scott Slant; Leighton Vander Esch

Robin: “The Batmobile isn’t starting!”

Batman: “Did you charge the battery?”

Robin: “What’s a tery?”

Leighton Vander Esch on track to return in 3-4 weeks

Which is good because, wow, the other Cowboys on defense (save for all the other former Broncos) are really goofing it up right now. Sitting at *checks notes* 1-3 is not great. Though it’s not for lack of the offense moving the ball. They actually have scored the most points in the NFC east with 126 but—unfortunately—they’ve allowed 146. I’m not a math whiz but that isn’t great. I’m somewhat nervous right now because I don’t want him to be labeled as “injury prone” and have these things dog is career.

Scott Slant has some thoughts on the All-Decade QB race

It ain’t close, guys. Again. I get why they have to have it. And the other candidates are really good that will always be part of Bronco Nation lore for their respective contributions. The one thing that matters is The Chosen one is the best for two different decades.

Date clock. This is a fun clock!
