Full disclosure: The new kids in the Grading The Week offices are a superstitious, cowardly lot.
We also tend to not take former Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett (stop laughing!) very seriously, and especially not too seriously when Big Nate (I mean it!) steps in front of the Big Apple cameras and starts carping (stop!) about “codes” and “glass houses” (I will turn this column around, I mean it!) while simultaneously wearing a goatee that makes him look less like his hero Han Solo … and more like an amateur magician.
That said, we’re starting to wonder if Hackett was onto something.
