Money does buy happiness

Spending money brings happiness in consumer utopia

When former President George Bush addressed the United States after the events of 9/11 and told Americans the answer to the events was “to go shopping,” most people thought he was crazy. Turns out when your economy is based on consumption it is healthy to spend all the money you have, just at the right places.

In 2011 a study from the Journal of Consumer Psychology confirms that consumerism brings happiness but only if one spends it in the right places.

Unnecessary luxuries like extended warranties and insurance, although riveting in their value, generally bring consumers happiness levels down. While trips to exotic beaches or seeing your favorite NBA basketball player dunk in the opposing players face seem to bring more happiness. Who would have thought?


read this interesting but OBVIOUS article done based on a study. I mean who funds these stupid studies.

Good outcome from bad loss?

I know what Broncos fans think right now, Orton is trash and this team is going to suck.

With the first accusation, I whole heartily agree, the later I am optimistic about but one thing is clear at this point in the season, This is a John Fox team.

When you look at the first 3 weeks the Broncos are starting to play like a John Fox team with running and defense.

In the one win the Broncos finished with over 100 yards running. 24-22 versus Cincinnati.

In the two losses the Broncos were within one field-goal of tying the game to go to overtime.

23-20 vs the Raiders
and

17-14 today verses the Titans today the Broncos still had a shot.

In John Fox's first year as head coach of Carolina in 2003, he went 7-9 turning around a 1-15 Panther's team. The next year they went to the Superbowl and lost by a field goal to the New England Patriots.

So look forward to coming up Broncos fans. I think John Fox is a smart guy and after seeing the futility of Kyle Orton he will start to open up to the idea of Tebow. Hopefully it won't be too late in the season for the excitement of game.

Orton is like watching retirees play shuffleboard in the middle of a Metamucil Conference.

The defense has pop and Von Miller is an absolute beast.

The Raiders have one of the best running games in the NFL and the Broncos D made it a chippy winnable game.

They just stopped a slowed Chris Johnson to almost nothing.

Defense starts with stopping the run and chasing the QB, the Broncos are doing that right now and are 1/4 of the way to the wins they had last year in four.

Fox is a real tough coach,, look who he worked under... this is a climb though, but he has done it before.

NFL head coaches under whom John Fox has served:
Chuck Noll, Pittsburgh Steelers (1969–1991)
Bobby Ross, San Diego Chargers (1992–1993)
Art Shell, Oakland Raiders (1994)
Mike White, Oakland Raiders (1995)
Rich Brooks, St. Louis Rams (1996)
Jim Fassel, New York Giants (1997–2001)


those are tough and good coaches to have learned from, Chin up Bronco Fans!!
