Are you kidding me?

I just read this story moments ago on ESPN. It seems that the Broncos have lost their starting running back for the year. This thing happens all time, except this was their 5th starting running back. They already have 4 out for the year, and one who hasn't played in months, and may miss the year. What are the odds of this ever happening? The Broncos used to historically just pound the ball, regardless of their running back. Shanahan has been noted as saying he doesn't care who the running back is, everyone is expendable. Now their started is going to be someone who was on the practice squad, and someone who was selling cell phones at the mall a month ago.

What's that? Read that article again, especially the last paragraph. Tatum bell was selling cell phones! I read his wikipedia page. He was drafter 41st in the draft, led all AFC rookies in running in 2004, and was accused of stealing Rudi Johnson's luggage when the Lions signed Johnson and realeased Bell. How does a guy like this end up selling luggage. I am sure in 2004 when he was drafter he signed a contract worth over $500,000 a year. I know this economy sucks but after being in the league full time for 4 years and then being cut you have to work a minimum wage job selling cell phones. Sad.
Here is another interesting blog looking at the same phenomenom.
