Some people are fans of the Denver Broncos. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Denver Broncos. This 2012 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read the other Why Your Team Sucks 2012 previews here. 1. John Elway Sideline Horseface. Last season marked one of the very few times that a sideline shot of a team executive was actually warranted, because nothing was more enjoyable than watching Tim Tebow pull game after game out of his ass and then see John Elway over on the sidelines, looking like a foiled supervillain. But now that Elway has masterfully run Godboy out of town, we're still gonna get 50 sideline shots of his big horsey mouth every game. Seriously, his teeth are huge and terrifying. He could bite an eggplant in half with that big disgusting horsemouth of his. Remember when Dikembe Mutombo was playing for the Nuggets, and they had Elway come out on the court and scream, "LET'S GET READY TO MUTOMBO!!!!!" and he did so like a roided-up nutcase? That was awful. Drew Magary writes for Deadspin and Gawker. He's also a correspondent for GQ. Follow him on Twitter @drewmagary and email him at [email protected]. I don't need to watch John Elway clapping every time Peyton Manning hits a receiver on a 10-yard out. That will grow very old, very quickly. Elway and Manning are two of the most annoying players in NFL history, and I already know EXACTLY what Jon Gruden is gonna say about these two men joining forces: "Now THESE GUYS know a little something about playing the quarterback position." I've already heard plenty about how Peyton was drawn to Elway because they both have the heart of the champion, or some other horrible bullshit like that. I don't want a full season of it. 2. Let's talk about Fetushead's fetusneck. The worst-case scenario for Peyton Manning is that he spends all preseason telling everyone he's never felt better and reporters believe it (this will happen), and then he'll go re-injure his neck in Week 3 and never play football again. Actually, that's not the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario is that he gets kidnapped by drug lords and has his penis severed. But the SECOND worst-case scenario is that his neck gets re-fucked. Take it from someone who knows from spinal injuries: All it takes is one false move for Manning's fused neck to collapse again. It doesn't even have to be a big hit. He could slip another disk just by turning that big fat head of his. I strongly advise all Broncos haters to scream, "HEY ASSHOLE" at Peyton any time he walks down the street, so that he does a double-take and risks ending his career. 3. It won't be long until you remember why you hated Manning to begin with. Like you, I've had warm feelings toward Manning lately because he helped Elway troll Tebow. But soon he'll take the field again, and I'll remember why I rooted against him every time he played for the Colts. All that needless jittering in the pocket. All the violent overpraising from the analysts. All the goofy sulking he does after tossing a pick that he believes wasn't his fault. Peyton Manning the person is immensely likeable. Peyton Manning the football player is abhorrent. If we're lucky, he'll revert to 2010 form and once again be just great enough to lose at home in the divisional round. BOOSH! I hope you Broncos fans enjoy two to three years of going 11-5 before having to start all over again. 4. Who's Manning gonna throw to? Because Demaryius Thomas only knows how to run in a straight line. I'm sure Manning will transform Eric Decker into his patented "gritty white receiver everyone hates," the guy who catches passes exclusively on third and long and makes you wanna put your fist through a puppy's forehead. But the other wideouts are brutal, and new TE Joel Dreessen specializes in hoarding E's and S's and having big games ONLY when he resides on the fantasy football waiver wire. The second you pick him up, he puts a fucking bagel on the board. Fuck Joel Dreessssssseen. Fuck him hard. Oh, and they have Jacob Tamme. Fucking Jacob Tamme. 5. If you cut off Elvis Dumervil, he will threaten to shoot you. Wanna be part of the Deadspin NFL previews? It's simple. Just email me and give me ample evidence of why your team sucks. I'll throw any good material into the post and give you proper credit.

Jose Mourinho concedes Tottenham will not be kings of the market in the January window as they are unable to match certain Premier League rivals in terms of profile and spending.
Tottenham have won five of their eight matches in all competitions since Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino last month.
The London side have been tipped to strengthen their squad early in 2020, while Christian Eriksen has been linked with a move away as he enters the final stages of his contract.
Mourinho reiterated he is content with his squad but acknowledged his hand may be forced somewhat when the transfer window reopens, with Jan Vertonghen another player facing an uncertain future.

There were encouraging signs for Bob Bradley in his first home Premier League fixture as Swansea City manager, but he was ultimately made to settle for a goalless draw against Watford.
The American, who replaced Francesco Guidolin at the Liberty Stadium at the beginning of this month, saw his side make Arsenal work hard for a 3-2 victory in his first game in charge last weekend.
A more disciplined defensive display restricted Watford during the first half, yet Swansea s more attacking outlook after the interval reaped no reward.
Gylfi Sigurdsson who hit the post late on and Mike van der Hoorn came closest to breaking the deadlock as Modou Barrow once again proved a menace down the wing, but Watford held out for a share of the spoils.

Frank Lampard accepts he is under pressure to turn around Chelsea s results and says he is not wanting any favours from owner Roman Abramovich.
Chelsea have lost four of their last six Premier League matches as many defeats as they had in their previous 23 with last week s 3-1 setback against Manchester City leaving them ninth.
The Blues have taken 26 points from their opening 17 league games of 2020-21, three points fewer than at the same stage last season. They have never finished higher than sixth after failing to amass more than 26 points at this stage of a campaign.
Amid reports that Abramovich is lining up candidates to replace Lampard if the barren run continues, the club s all-time leading goalscorer acknowledges he cannot rely on past success to keep him…
Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou declared Celtic will be hard to stop if they maintain their current form after watching the Bhoys tear Rangers apart in a 4-0 Old Firm derby success.
A Liel Abada brace, as well as goals from Jota and David Turnbull, moved the scintillating Scottish Premiership champions five points clear of their historic rivals in the early-season table on Saturday.
Celtic are now unbeaten in 38 league games, and have scored 25 goals in their opening six matches of the 2022-23 campaign.
Speaking to the BBC after the win, Postecoglou said: We have been in excellent form and I m really proud of the players.
It was a big game today, we knew that, a big occasion against a really good team, and I thought the boys were outstanding from start to f…
Hamburg s Marcell Jansen says the club are targeting a win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday as they look to get their season on track.
Hamburg have endured an inconsistent campaign to date and sit ninth in the Bundesliga table ahead of the weekend, while Dortmund are 12 points adrift of leaders Bayern Munich in second place.
Dortmund are favourites. We need to be wide awake from the first minute. Our goal must be to win there, Jansen told Bild.
We still lack consistency and lose our concentration too much. We re brave but not toxic enough. We hide too much. It is a mystery that I don t understand.
The full-back has fallen out of favour with Germany since winning his first cap in September 2010, but aims to play his way back into Joachim Loew s plans…
Henrikh Mkhitaryan s first two goals for Borussia Dortmund were enough to secure his side a 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
The close-season signing from Shaktar Donetsk opened the scoring, but Vaclav Kadlec hit back with his first Frankfurt goal in the 35th minute.
Mkhitaryan added another after the break though, to send Dortmund to the top of the Bundesliga as they maintained their 100 per cent record.
Dortmund made one change from their 1-0 win over Werder Bremen last week, with Sven Bender replacing Sebastian Kehl in midfield.
For the hosts, recent signings Stephan Schrock and Kadlec both featured in the starting line-up as Armin Veh s men went in search of consecutive Bundesliga wins.
Frankfurt started brightly and created an early chance w…
Sunderland were unable to complete the signing of Portuguese goalkeeper Mika Domingues on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old, who is currently at Chinese Super League (CSL) champions Guangzhou Evergrande, was relieved that his dream of five or six years of playing in the Premier League is nearing realisation.

Stefano Pioli hinted Divock Origi could make his first Serie A start when Milan go to Sampdoria on Saturday, as he emphasised the importance of competition in his Rossoneri squad.
Origi joined Milan in July after leaving Liverpool on a free transfer, but has been a peripheral figure during their promising start to the new campaign.
With the likes of Rafael Leao, Junior Messias and Olivier Giroud preferred by Pioli, Origi has made just three substitute appearances in the league, playing a total of 47 minutes.
But speaking ahead of the trip to Sampdoria, Pioli said the Belgium international is ready to make his full debut.
Asked whether it was time for Origi to feature more heavily, Pioli said: I think so, because he is better and has had time to pick up …

Starting with the hosts, despite that 2-0 loss away at Inter Milan while on Serie A duties last month, the defending champions have managed to bounce back in some style. Enjoying what has been arguably their brightest spell under former Italian icon Andrea Pirlo, the Old Lady put in another eye-catching display over the weekend. Now with their sights set on trying to mount a late charge to defend their Italian crown, Juve picked up a deserved 2-0 win against Roma on home soil and the mood in their camp should be at a real high.
