“What is with the Broncos historic penchant for (being) obliterated in playoff games/Super Bowls?” I tweeted when the Denver Broncos defense allowed the NFL record tying sixth touchdown pass to Tom Brady during Saturday’s undressing of the Broncos by the Patriots.

It was one of the more thorough and complete losses we’ve seen in Colorado sports history. And we’ve seen a lot of them.

70-3, 7-0, 13-1, 55-10, 42-10 and now, of course, 45-10.

These are scores that should resonate with any Colorado sports fan. In a region where we take our sports way too seriously, our teams have been obliterated, humiliated and flat out embarrassed many a time on a playoff or championship-game stage.

I'm tired of people blaming the media for Tim Tebow's super-stardom. As if we created this machine. We purposely set out to destroy all that is bad by perpetuating the myth of a super-human who espouses all that is good. Yeah, like those of us who read tele-prompters for a living are actually smart enough to pull that off. Don't you realize, we're too dumb for that?

Let me tell you how this media thing works. We normally cover what the majority of people want us to cover. And right now, the overwhelming majority in this town wants to know anything and everything there is to know about Tim Tebow. Pretty simple. We didn't create the machine. But we certainly feed it.

So last night, I tweet the following: "Coming up on CBS4 tonight at 10, wondering if…
