I have to say, I was surprised he was voted so low by his peers. You would think his body of work would be undeniable. For there to be 6 CBs ranked higher than him among NFL player ballots, is a mystery beyond my comprehension. Some would say that I am just looking at it through Bronco goggles, but again, his numbers are undeniable. The only explanation I can come up with is, the majority of players are influenced more by the media hype, than the actual facts. Chris has always had to fight that up hill battle. Just the fact that he was an UDFA, shows us how much the pundits really know about things. His achievements are impossible to ignore, and him getting #52 can be looked at as him finally showing up on the radar. He is undoubtedly putting up HOF credentials, lets just hope that, when it's all said and done, all doubt will be erased. Good luck with that though, considering how little respect other greats have gotten coming out of this small market.

Denver and the surrounding communities are not a small market, at least not in my opinion, just small minded voters and such.
I have lived in Colorado off & on for over 40 years, if we are such a small market, why are all the Californians & Texans beating their feet to get here? and messing up our used to be reasonable traffic?

He always has been a bit of a loose cannon. He could easily get suspended and possibly go to jail if that's true.

You would hope he had a permit to carry Plaxico was in NY and they have a law that gives you 2 years for being caught with a gun.

Talib was in Texas with the loosest gun laws.....but if he lied to police?.......A problem in any event. The league will still suspend him 4 games no matter what Texas does because of precedent with Burress.

Rules about guns:
1. Treat every gun as if it is loaded all the time.
2. If you aren't sure the gun is loaded, it probably is.
3. Stupidity is not in short supply when guns are in the vicinity.
4. Never point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
5. There is no such thing as an unloaded gun. Rule#1
6. I am not opposed to personal gun ownership, I am opposed to uninformed, under-educated, untrained, ignorant, idiotic, incompetent individuals owning them.
7. The 2nd Amendment says you have the right to bear arms, (See Larry the cable guy). Not to act like a complete nincompoop when you are using your gun.
8. Even when cleaning your gun follow rule #1. {Friend shot himself in the head with weapon he was cleaning}, he lived, but his capabilities are seriously reduced.
9. I think we should be licensed to carry a gun, with a requirement to pass a gun safety test, qualify with your chosen weapon and your license should be reviewed immediately for a gun related incident.
10. Background checks should be done for anyone looking to use an assault rifle for deer hunting (M-4 {M-16} AK-47) should not be used to hunt Bambi.
I know the west was not won with a registered gun, but since when are we in the Wild West? Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, Utah (portions where there ain't no water), Nevada, Oregon & Washington state constitute the West last I checked, and only 1 of these has some really loose gun laws. You get two guesses and 1 doesn't count.
California is too busy worrying about the next el nino to worry about real gun laws.
If I didn't say it enough, Please follow rule #1 around ANY GUN.

Idiots and criminals will always get guns unfortunately....even if it's illegal for them to have them. Responsible people are rarely ever a problem
IckyIPA wrote:I hunt, I hunt a lot. So much so, that I consider it a craft. As a craftsman, I have specific tools for specific jobs.This means I own several fire arms. I don't want the Government or anyone else for that matter, trying to tell me what tools I can or can't have. For example, I use a .270 for deer, and a .300 Win. Mag. for Elk. I could use either one for both, but they each have their advantages, in specific scenarios. Someone telling me I only need one, is like telling a plumber he doesn't need a 10 inch pipe wrench if he has a 12 inch already. I also carry a side arm when I hunt, for too many reasons to list. I also shoot for sport and fun. I have several firearms that I use for entertainment, that can double for home and personal protection. I am of the mindset, that I hope I never need to use them for anything other than sport, but I will not put myself in a position that I may need to, and not be able to. I also am a firm believer in a well regulated and armed militia. I believe that the second amendment in that facet, is a necessary deterrent to an already too big for their britches American Government, and Global control entities like the United Nations. I am a responsible gun owner, and no one but me has access to them. That's just part of how I was raised. In my family, gun safety, use, maintenance, and responsibility, are a rite of passage into manhood (or maturity for girls), that you don't earn until you prove you can handle the responsibilities seriously. I personally think that is lacking in this world anymore. There are too many young men that enter into adulthood, without ever having to prove them self ready in any way. And it is obvious, many aren't prepared for any responsibility.
That's all I have to say about that!
