Denton has had a rough pass at 2016 so far. It seems just as we are picking up the pieces from the last gr***de something else is set to detonate. I hate to sound over dramatic, so let me explain. The year began with Hailey’s Club closing, a venue that saw the likings of Band of Horses, Astronauta...
"Browns fans had one thing to comfort them as 2017 started: it couldn’t possibly be as bad as 2016. But like the man once said, when you think that you’ve lost everything, you find out you can always lose a little more."

December 31, 2017 The defining word of the 21st century might be grift. Entire industries have been cannibalized and turned into pyramid schemes. Online, social media allows people to build entire lives that are only tangentially connected with reality. In politics, the business of fundraising has
In 1986, it was unusual for the New Orleans Saints to be playing meaningful football in December. Coached by USFL transplant Jim Mora, the Saints had a rabid fanbase cheering them on against a Dolphins team that had Dan Marino at the peak of his game.

Later this month, the movie American Underdog will be released as a biopic on Kurt Warner's life and football career.
Kit Wren takes us back to a game long after the Super Bowl when Warner faced off against his former team as a Cardinal
www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-arizona-cardinals-vs-st-louis-rams-december-7-2008
December 7, 2008 It quickly became a threadbare cliché during Kurt Warner’s breakout season in 1999 to point out that his story was one too unbelievable for the movies. Warner went from stocking shelves in a HyVee grocery to the Arena League, to the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe, to the bench ...
Wonder what it's like in the timeline where the Bills won 4 straight Super Bowls. Kit Wren takes a look at how the almost team of the 90s finished 1999 in a game against the Patriots coached by Pete Carroll
www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-new-england-patriots-vs-buffalo-bills-december-26-1999
December 26, 1999 The Buffalo Bills started the decade with a claim to being the team that defined the 1990s. With stars and immortals on both sides of the ball, an innovative system cobbled together by coach Marv Levy, and some incredible wins along the way, the Bills could have been emissaries of
"It would be fair, if not exactly welcome, to call the 1992 Seattle Seahawks the best team to ever finish 2-14."
In this week's Monday Night Memories, Kit Wren takes a look at the story surrounding the 1992 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Washington [REDACTED].
www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-seattle-seahawks-vs-washington-redacted-november-8-1992
November 8, 1992 I don’t come into these seasons with a theme in mind; like the Tarot, they are gradually revealed as I pull. This year, with chapters on Buddy Ryan’s war on every offense, the 1986 Bears making it through every game with their transmission broke and engine on fire, the expansion...
For this week's Monday Night Memories, Kit Wren takes us back to 1977 when the winless Buccaneers faced off against a similiarly poor New York Giants that had just moved their home stadium to New Jersey.

"George Allen was a hell of a head coach. He was also a man who could be accurately described as obsessed with football, the closest thing football ever had to a monk."
www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-san-francisco-49ers-vs-los-angeles-rams-november-17-1968
November 17, 1968 Normally offseason league meetings are a dry affair, mostly occupying themselves with picayune rule changes, but in 1966 the annual meeting started with a great deal of personal bitterness. George Halas had lost his defensive coordinator and planned successor, George Allen, to the
"Some fans take heart in winning ugly. It’s the true test of character, it’s said, to still pull out the result when everything is going wrong. It’s a strong argument with strong priors, but the Bears of 1986 exclusively won ugly."
www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-chicago-bears-vs-pittsburgh-stellers-november-30-1986
November 30, 1986 There was nothing typical about the Chicago Bears team that had won Super Bowl XX. They were brash and cocky in a way that the NFL did not condone or prepare for. They cut a hip-hop video declaring themselves champions in December, usually an act of hubris that gets punished, but
Today's Monday Night Memories takes us through a dimly lit period of the New York Giants that was looking to get Bill Parcells and Phill Simms out of town.
www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-new-york-giants-vs-kansas-city-chiefs-november-25-1984
November 25, 1984 In 1983, Bill Parcells was handed control over the team he had been rooting for since he was a kid. The New York Giants had also not won a title since Bill Parcells was a kid, a fact he was intimate with, since he was in the stands for the 1956 NFL Title game (Super Bowl Negative
Mercury was in retrograde when this game happened, and maybe that's why an overhead cam fell during this 2007 game between the Saints and the Seahawks.
https://www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-new-orleans-saints-vs-seattle-seahawks-october-14-2007
October 14, 2007 The New Orleans Saints of 2007 had something they had never had before: expectations. The storybook year of 2006, when they went a shocking 10-6, won the NFC South, and rehabilitated the public image of New Orleans, loomed large in everyone’s minds, and a sequel was expected promp...
Who the hell does Buddy Ryan think he is, honestly? Today's Monday Night Memories goes back to 1993 when the Bills faced off against an Oilers team that hired Buddy Ryan to coach the defense after The Comeback.
https://www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-buffalo-bills-vs-houston-oilers-october-11-1993
October 11, 1993 Ten months prior to this Monday night game, the Houston Oilers seemed to have ended the reign of the Buffalo Bills over the AFC. The Bills were without Jim Kelly, without Thurman Thomas, and staring down the barrel of a 35-3 deficit. What happened next was the sort of thing that ge
Perhaps more than some of us could use a calm Tony Dungy to replace the overbearing Jim Moras in our lives.
www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-indianapolis-colts-vs-baltimore-ravens-october-13-2002
October 13, 2002 The Indianapolis Colts drafted Peyton Manning with the first overall pick in 1998 and instantly solved all their organizational problems. Would that we lived in a world so simple. Manning had a lot to overcome, first within himself and then without. While clearly reaching higher hi
Time moves so fast these days that one can feel old while reminiscing on Tony Romo's finer playing days.
www.thedentonite.com/sports/monday-night-memories-dallas-cowboys-vs-philadelphia-eagles-september-20-2015
September 20, 2015 It’s the most obnoxious question on social media: “Wanna feel old?” No, I don’t want to feel old, what kind of question is that? It’s very easy not to feel old, I just need to manage to walk the tightrope of watching without observing, since everything still looks the sa...
Do you remember when Barry Sanders retired? Kit takes a look back at Year 1 A.B. when the Lions started the year without their legendary running back and faced off against a Packers team two years removed from winning a Super Bowl.
September 19, 1999 It is not often that Wichita, Kansas, is the center of the sporting world. Anyone in the newsroom of the Wichita Eagle would have been confused, panicked, or some minor key variation of the two when a fax from Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions came to the newsroom. The fax annou
The NFL season has just kicked off, and now we kick off Kit Wren's weekly series, Monday Night Memories. With the Ravens and Raiders playing tonight, Kit gets nostalgic in looking at the circumstances surrounding a game between the Raiders and Ravens in 1996.
September 1, 1996 Although the Baltimore Ravens enter league history in 1996, they were not a true expansion team. Art Modell was moving the Browns out of Cleveland after a series of setbacks and fights with the city government, but it wouldn’t do for them to become the Baltimore Browns. For one t...
