Despite, my harping, the Broncos did deserve it.
Unfortunately the 10 others this year, including the current Ravens situation, they were let off easy. But, most of these have better playoff aspirations. So, that downtrodden team was perfect choice to courageously drop the hammer on.
What probably should have been done all year, you cant, you got X days to get your crap together or you forfeit. The Broncos may or may not have qualified, but at least we should have had a solid damn rule.
