March Madness tips off Thursday, and for some of you, filling out the NCAA Tournament pool bracket is more important than balancing your checkbook. That might be a sad commentary on life, but it’s not going to prevent me from offering some pointers on how to win your office pool.

Some of the great childish feuds in television history lasted about 30 minutes before a father figure intervened wielding a hand of authority.

This feud, “The Feud” if you will, between Broncos coach Josh McDaniels and quarterback Jay Cutler, has gone on long enough.

Broncos owner Pat Bowlen has to end it now.

Trade Jay Cutler. Now.

No more cell phone calls. No more e-mails. No more text messages. No more drama.

Cutler has been hot and bothered ever since he learned from second-hand sources that new Broncos coach Josh McDaniels engaged in trade talks involving the three-year veteran quarterback.

So much for the Mile High altitude being an asset. After the Broncos choked away a three-game division lead during the NFL season, we’re starting to hear the Nuggets gasping and wheezing in the NBA standings.

Oxygen masks, please.

The Nuggets lost their third straight game, 97-95 to the Houston Rockets Monday night at Pepsi Center. Denver is losing steam while being passed up by Utah and Portland in the Northwest Division.

ESPN the Network – oops, I’m sorry, The Planet – already has listed on its Web site the Broncos as a possible landing point for former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens.

Owens reportedly has been released by the Cowboys. ESPN.com submits he would be a possible fit for Denver because new head coach Josh McDaniels was able to fit sometimes-volatile WR Randy Moss into a “family” system in New England.

Less than 24 hours after the Rocky Mountain News closed its doors for good, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels all but lost his mind.

Who knew what effect we had on the sanity of young Coach Mickey D?
