Last time a Triple Crown winner occurred in horse racing, a Steelers quarterback won their third Super Bowl. Just saying.
Championship!

Last time a player led the NFL in rushing yards, yards per rush, and rushing TDs?

Salary cap avoiders*

Haven't we had this argument before?

Show me the receipts of the extra guys we signed with all the extra money we had.

Problem is there are none, there wasn't any extra money or signings.

If you want to call that cheating, knock yourself out. It was a business issue, not something that had any relevance to the team put forth on the field or how they dominated the league with TD.

Weird that they got fined similar to the Patriots for air in a football.

Weird that this happened:
An unidentified agent for a former Broncos player will donate $100,000 to charity without admitting wrongdoing in the case, according to the league.
If nothing was done wrong, why donate anonymously to an anonymous charity. Sounds like a PR move for an anonymous wrong doer.

I like this.

Quote the entire block related to the story you lazy troll:

"The investigation resulted in the discovery of undisclosed agreements between the club and Broncos players during the same period [1996-1998] pursuant to which various players agreed to defer certain compensation in exchange for a commitment to pay interest on the deferred amounts," Henderson said in the statement. "These agreements were plainly designed to help the club cope with seasonal cash flow problems exacerbated by the Broncos' need to fund front-end expenditures associated with development of the new stadium in Denver."

The Broncos reportedly were responsible for about $100 million of the approximately $401 million cost of Invesco Field at Mile High, which opened in 2001 and replaced Mile High Stadium as the team's home.

This set of violations, the league said, was related both to agreements between the team and "several" unidentified players to defer salary payments with interest and to a 1997 agreement between the club and a former player to not waive the player prior to a certain date. "Both types of agreements raised salary cap accounting issues," the league said.

Henderson said of the agreement not to waive the player before a certain date: "That commitment had the effect of converting the player's roster bonus into a guarantee, which affected the timing of the salary cap treatment of a portion of the bonus."

Henderson said the league considered the settlement terms "satisfactory to resolve the dispute."

An unidentified agent for a former Broncos player will donate $100,000 to charity without admitting wrongdoing in the case, according to the league.
