If the Broncos Fire Nathaniel Hackett, They’ll Still Have a Russell Wilson Problem

Whenever I’m trying to get my coworkers moving in the right direction, I often, in plain view of the whole company, seek out the highest-paid employee I can find and scream at them. As far as morale boosts go, this is the secret sauce.

This is how Broncos defensive lineman Mike Purcell and quarterback Russell Wilson attempted to couch a moment during Sunday’s embarrassing loss to the Panthers. Purcell, when running off the field, hollered something into Wilson’s facemask like Wilson had cut him off for the last parking space at the mall. Wilson seemed to nod like someone who was nervously trying to wave off an office PajamaGram.
