Todd Sauerbrun Thinks He Got A Raw Deal From The Broncos

Former Bronco punter Todd Sauerbrun pled guilty to disturbing the peace today in a Denver court to finish the criminal proceedings against him for an incident with a cab driver in December. He was sentenced to one-year probation and 24 hours of community service.

Sauerbrun's mind wasn't on courtroom, though. It was on the team he says did him wrong when they cut him in the wake of the arrest.

"The Broncos didn't give me a fair shot. I don't think they did me right. I do feel ill about it. And their new motto about character guys? The guys I've seen them pick up, you're going to tell me those are good character people? I think not."

He's probably referring to Michael Pittman, who in 2003 was accused of using his Hummer to ram a car driven by his wife off the road. It's a fair point but Sauerbrun's record of bad acts began long before that December night so he can hardly play the innocent card. When you read what else Sauerbrun did today, though, you'll see faulty reasoning is something of a hobby for him.

Sauerbrun claims innocence and says he only took the guilty plea to get the affair behind him. In his next breath, he says he's planning to sue the cab driver for defamation. That doesn't so much put the case behind you as it assures it will remain right on top of you.
