Bell Named Broncos #1 RB

That's right, Mike Bell.

You see what I did there?

Broncos rookie running back Mike Bell was told to see Mike Shanahan in his office Sunday evening.

As Bell nervously climbed the stairs, different scenarios raced through his head.

All of them negative.

"I was shaking," Bell said.

I imagine Shanahan acted just like Jack Palance in Batman when he relayed this development.

"You.......... (heavy breathing) are my number one........... (more heavy breathing, violently squezzing Bell's shoulders) guy."

To think I was feeling embarrassed about an undrafted free agent wide receiver starting for the Eagles in their first preseason game. At least he's not number one, and may not even be number two come opening day.

But I'm not going to mock. These guys pull running backs out of their ass every single year. I'm already expecting 1200 and 10.
