I am walking into a death trap by writing this article, and I know it up front. But for me, the reward of putting my 2010 season predictions for the Denver Broncos in writing is either going to be bragging rights for a year, or more probably, intense public scrutiny. I'll have fun either way. Josh McDaniels continued to make fiery moves this last off season in the hopes of pulling the Denver ...

Because of all the focus on conference realignment, I have found myself neglecting Denver Broncos football (obviously unintentional). Aside from Elvis Dumervil putting his name on the dotted line, it really doesn't look like I skipped out on too much. I mean, signing a cream of the crop defensive all star off of hold out status would have been the news of the off season for most teams. For the Denver ...

It took a bit of time for him to recover from the fractured bone in his foot, but the Denver Broncos' first overall pick, Demaryius Thomas, has finally started practicing with the team. For fans, hopes and expectations couldn't be higher. There has been a lot of hype surrounding the young wide receiver in Denver, who appears set to inherit the throne of the recently-departed malcontent, Brandon Marshall. As the first wide receiver ...

If you're willing to believe everything other sports writers tell you, let me clarify what is actually going on with the Denver Broncos quarterbacks today. Obviously, everyone knows Tim Tebow was drafted as a first round pick last month, and is the favorite to eventually take up the crown in Denver. According to all sources, he is really working hard and showing a lot of determination by doing things like finishing first ...

A funny thing happened when I recently started a new season on my Madden 2010 for Xbox 360. On the very first play of the game, Donovan McNabb threw a short pass to Brian Westbrook, who was subsequently hit in the backfield and injured. A few plays later, the injury update informed me that Westbrook would be out for the season, and all I could think was: "Wow! Madden is getting extremely ...

I doubt even Josh McDaniels would have been willing to take on that mess of a quarterback. It looks like the speculation can end in the AFC West, as Al Davis has finally clipped one of the biggest draft busts of all time from the roster in Oakland. Immediate analysis should include the obvious observation that the replacement to JaMarcus Russell is Jason Campbell; Denver Broncos fans are likely not trembling in ...

For NFL fans, the anticipation months are approaching. Most find themselves trying to pass the time with new hobbies and work, masking a slow build-up of excitement until August arrives and familiar Monday Night Football jingles begin to stream forth from the air waves. But for coaches, this is the most active time of year. Now that the 2010 NFL draft has come and gone, and teams have a pretty concrete idea on ...

Breaking news for Denver Broncos fans as Pro Bowl tackle, and immensely talented player, Ryan Clady has reportedly torn his patellar tendon playing basketball and could be out for the season. Oops. While team sources have yet to confirm, the news was first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter. Schefter has gained a reputation as Mr. Reliability when reporting on anything NFL. While any injury to Clady is bad news for the Denver Broncos, it ...

I really hope this latest fiasco doesn't get back to Mike Gundy. The last thing the football world needs is another "I'm a man! I'm 40!" defense from the Oklahoma State coach. But it seems that his latest victimized player, Dez Bryant, is an immediate controversy in the NFL (though the reason is substantially different than most people would have expected). It surfaced today that Jeff Ireland is the NFL "big man" who ...

Funny name, serious results. Josh McDaniels' answer at inside linebacker was not a first round pick. For those yearning for a Rolando McClain/D.J. Williams tandem with Elvis Dumervil and Robert Ayers on the outsides, well...I would have liked to have had that too. Instead, we've added Akin Ayodele out of Miami, and he should be a manageable starter in replacing Andra Davis. Aside from having one of the greatest names in football (Akin means ...
