Klis: Broncos deserve to have more representatives in Pro Football Hall of Fame

Terrell Davis (Denver Post file)

Had the NFL made a big deal of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 40th anniversary, the Broncos would have been shut out.

Can't attend a party if you're not invited. And don't start with Willie "Raider" Brown and Tony "Cowboy" Dorsett.

But it's the golden anniversary that the Hall of Fame is celebrating this weekend in Canton, Ohio, and thanks to a nice run at immortality in the past decade, the Broncos were well represented by John Elway, Gary Zimmerman, Floyd Little and Shannon Sharpe.

What the Broncos need now is one for the thumb.

"I think the next Bronco to go in might be Champ Bailey," Sharpe said.

Bailey still is playing cornerback for the Broncos, and while there's little doubt he's a Hall of Famer, the plan is to put off his eligibility until at least 2020.

Same for Peyton Manning.

There will be no problem if he's mostly remembered as an Indianapolis Colt ? so long as he wins one more Super Bowl title ring with the Broncos.

Here are other Broncos who deserve Hall of Fame recognition before Bailey and Manning become eligible:

Dan Reeves, coach and player. Bud Grant, who lost four Super Bowls with the Vikings, is in the Hall of Fame. Marv Levy, who lost four Super Bowls with the Bills, is in the Hall of Fame.

Reeves lost four Super Bowls with two teams and has yet to become a finalist through his first five years of eligibility.

This would be an outrage if not for his more flagrant omission from the Broncos' Ring of Fame.

"Not only Bud Grant and Marv Levy, but help me, my Super Bowl memory is a little foggy: What did George Allen win again?" said Sharpe, who was drafted and given a chance by Reeves.

Further pushing Reeves' candidacy: He threw a 50-yard halfback touchdown pass to Lance Rentzel in the Ice Bowl.

Terrell Davis, running back. The Hall of Fame is heavy on players who were good for a long time, but never great; light on players who were great for a brief time. Canton needs to consider more players like Gale Sayers and Joe Namath.

Davis was the NFL's best running back for three consecutive seasons. He played in eight playoff games and rushed for at least 100 yards in seven.

Just as Sandy Koufax has a plaque in Cooperstown, Davis should have a bust in Canton.

Randy Gradishar, Karl Mecklenburg, Steve Atwater, Louis Wright. Perhaps the astute senior selection committee will understand that the Broncos haven't posted the NFL's second-best record since 1975 on Elway alone.

Tom Jackson, player and contributor. Hall of Fame voters may scoff, but Jackson's 27 years on ESPN's "NFL Primetime" show should carry substantial weight.

Even if nearly every recognizable former player becomes a TV analyst, Jackson has soared to within shouting distance of John Madden.

Washington panel restricts octopus hunting

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) ? A Washington state panel on Friday prohibited the recreational hunting of giant Pacific octopuses at seven popular scuba diving sites in the Puget Sound region, following an outcry when a man was spotted killing one of the elusive creatures.

The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission called for a review of the rules after a diver killed an octopus in October near Alki Point in Seattle. A diving instructor who arrived on the beach saw him beating the octopus to death.

Photos of the event outraged other divers who are familiar with octopus lairs and watch for the creatures. Divers petitioned the panel to outlaw octopus hunting or to create marine preserves where they'll be safe.

The commission's unanimous vote came Friday, after the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, working with a citizen advisory committee that included sport fishermen and recreational divers, developed options ranging from no rule changes to banning the recreational hunt throughout Puget Sound.

Current rules allow a person with a valid state fishing license to harvest one giant Pacific octopus per day in most areas of Puget Sound.

One of the sites where hunting will be prohibited is the spot where the octopus was killed last fall.

Fish and Wildlife received hundreds of comments on the options, the commission said in a statement. The commission sets policy for the Fish and Wildlife Department.

Many sport fishermen wanted to keep current rules while many divers favored a Puget Sound-wide ban, said Craig Burley in Fish and Wildlife's fish management program.

The Puget Sound octopus population appears healthy and the current recreational harvest is very small, Burley said.

The Seattle Aquarium says giant Pacific octopuses average 90 pounds and their arms can span 20 feet across, but a fully grown octopus can fit through a hole the size of a lemon.

The octopuses live in rocky dens, recognized by the discarded shells of crabs and clams they eat. They hunt at night and also eat fish and other species of octopus. Their suckers hold prey, which the octopus tears apart with a parrot-like beak.

Giant Pacific octopuses can change color at will depending on their surroundings and mood.

Several commission members mentioned the creatures' broad appeal to recreational divers around the world.

"Washington is an important dive location, and protection of the octopus is important both to the dive community and to the economy of the state," said Commissioner Conrad Mahnken of Bainbridge Island, located west of Seattle across the sound.

?Another Reason? Governor Palin Loves Our Troops

Governor Palin took to Facebook:

Love, love, love our U.S. troops! Here?s another reason why!

She links to a story over at The Blaze

A photo of a United States Marine hanging behind during a 5K race to accompany a 9-year-old who lost his group recently went viral on Facebook, and has since been picked up by national and international news outlets alike.

According to the ?Seal of Honor? Facebook page, which posted the photo, the child was struggling to finish on his own when he asked the Marine, ?Sir, Will you please run with me??

?Throughout the course, [Lance Cpl. Myles Kerr] urged him on when the boy wanted to give up and ensured that the boy saw the course to completion where he was reunited with his party,? the accompanying message reads. ?By his unwavering commitment to help those in need through his ability to inspire others by his unequivocal level of motivation, Lcpl Kerr reflected great credit upon himself and was keeping in the highest traditions of the United States Marine Corps.?

Obama refuses to condemn Democratic sex scandals | The Daily ...

• 

White House spokesman Jay Carney Wednesday ducked, dodged and dived to escape questions about two top Democrats embroiled in sex scandals.

The simultaneous scandals have been caused by a Democratic candidate for New York mayor, Anthony Weiner, and the Democratic mayor of San Diego, Bob Filner. Their sexting and harassment of women have humiliated many Democrats, including those who have happily spent the last few years charging the GOP with waging a ?war on women.?

Obama is flying into the Filner scandal because he has announced an Aug. 7 visit to a U.S. Marine Corps base outside San Diego, Calif.

?The president is traveling to Camp Pendleton which is not in San Diego, which is outside,? Carney said July Wednesday. ?I don?t have anything on that.?

?He?s commander in chief. He doesn?t oversee municipalities. ? I don?t have any comment on that,? he said.

Filner is facing accusations of sexual harassment from eight women, including city employees.

?He pulled my hand closer to him and he reached over to kiss me,? said Lisa Curtin, a city college administrator, about an episode in 2011 when Filner was a Democratic member of Congress. ?I turned my head at that moment and on the side of my face, I got a very wet, saliva-filled kiss including feeling his tongue on my cheek.?

Asked about Weiner, who sent crudely sexual tests to women, Carney also evaded comment.

?No, we don?t? want to comment, he said.

Weiner has admitted send sexually themed texts to a series of women, even after he resigned in disgrace from Congress in 2011.

?i must have cum thinking about you and looking at you 100 times,? the former legislator wrote to a 22 year-old woman. ?how does that make you feel? gross??

Through the 2012 election, Obama?s deputies ? including Carney ? slammed GOP candidates and legislators for rude or insensitive comments about women. Obama?s allies characterized those comments as reflective of GOP attitudes, and declared them to be part of a GOP ?war on women.?

The strategy was intended to spur turnout by women voters, and mostly succeeded.

?After spending months waging a fake ?War on Women? to mislead voters, it appears the Democrats have much less ?courage? when it comes to calling out their own ? War on Women,? said a July 31 email from GOP spokesman Kirsten Kukowski

Since 2012, the president has changed his talking point to emphasize curbs on guns and increased immigration of Democratic-leaning low-skilled workers in the country, where 20 million Americans are already unemployed or underemployed.

?The president is focused on what we can do here in Washington to help the middle class,? Carney insisted July 31.

?I understand the allure of issues like this in the media,? Carney said. ?But I?m saying that the president believes his job is not to comment on those issues, but to do what we can do to get the economy moving.?

Chenoweth to Weiner: Stop acting like a 'whore'

TV

Ree Hines TODAY contributor

21 hours ago

If New York City mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner feels like he could use a little PR help following the sexting antics of his alter ego, Carlos Danger, then he's in luck. Kristin Chenoweth has a plan to improve his popularity.

The Broadway star took to the "Tonight Show" stage Tuesday night and delivered a bit of wisdom to Weiner, in the form a parody of her "Wicked" hit, "Popular."

?I?ll teach you zip your fly, you won?t be that guy with a camera down his pants," she sang. "I?ll teach you what tweets to tweet, something clean and sweet. We?ll make sure you?ll get your chance to be popular, the right kind of popular. They?ll think you?ve become a monk, though they?ve seen your junk. Now you?ll play a different show."

From there Chenoweth launched into her social makeover plan, since Weiner has "an awfully long way to go."

"There'll be no more sexy texts, with your biceps flexed," she added. "Your roaming eye will roam no more. You want to be the mayor? Stop acting like a big ol' whore!"

But if Weiner really wants to be the mayor, he's going to have to appeal to voters other than Chenoweth. Before she belted out her message to the man, she assured host Jay Leno that there's no way she could really support him.

While she's fascinated by the politician's drama, she's also "disappointed in that situation."

Abandoning sales tax hike not an option barring big shocks: Japan's Amari

TOKYO | Tue Jul 30, 2013 6:05am EDT

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Economics Minister Akira Amari said on Tuesday that abandoning a planned increase in the sales tax is not an option unless there are significant external shocks to the economy such as the Lehman financial crisis.

Amari, speaking to reporters after a top government economic panel meeting, declined to comment whether there are alternative ways to raise the sales tax but said he would do the utmost to pave the way for the tax increases to be implemented as planned.

The planned increase in the sales tax is heavily indebted Japan's most significant fiscal reform in years but recent developments have suggested that it could be delayed or watered down.
