Well being against the Broncos is only natural =p. The biggest thing I think we as bloggers need to take home from this is that these guys are representative of a majority of Americans and the world for that matter that doesn't really understand yet what blogs and new media do.

But that said, the real fear isn't that Bloggers are "dedicated to cruelty, they are dedicated to dishonesty, they are dedicated to speed" as that they aren't that... and that they have the potential to be more effective, more objective, and better sources of information than "professional" main-stream media guys. Because if that turns out to be the case, there are a lot of MSM sportcasters who might find their jobs in jeopardy. How sad that rather than exploring and embracing the new media and understanding how they could benefit from it, these guys fear it enough to try and sabotage it instead. Great post!
