Oakland made quiet moves to bolster their linebacking corp over the last two years, in this article we will explore which is the best.  Drafting Rolando McClain in the first round certainly helped the beleaguered Silver and Black defense, but it was the addition of two cast offs that have the Raiders poised to be contenders in [...]

1997 was a special year for yours truly. I didn’t know it at the time, but the Denver Broncos and John Elway were on their way to winning their first of two Super Bowls. And of just-as-large significance to me, I heard “My Hero” by the Foo Fighters for the first time. They immediately became [...]

We’re thrilled and grateful to report that the traffic at BT is through the roof, and with it has come an upswing in comments. That’s great. Stupendous. Wonderful.

Coincidentally Phish will [...]

Editor’s Note: This is J.’s first tryout piece for joining the BroncoTalk staff, and he decided to tackle a topic that’s becoming all-the-more prevalent in sports blogs: social networking. BroncoTalk has only barely dipped its toes into the world of Twitter and Facebook; meanwhile, Broncos players like Eddie Royal (Twitter/Facebook) and Champ Bailey (Twitter) are [...]

Tomorrow I’ll have my 3 year old adopted son, Michael, with me. And, while he probably won’t have the attention span to watch much of it, I think it might be a good thing for him to see. You see, this year another former foster kid from Tennessee named Michael is projected to go in [...]

A quick apology… The hamsters that turn the wheels behind this thing told me that they’re performing a “hardware upgrade” today.  Bigger hamsters maybe.  The problems appear to be taken care of; sorry for the inconvenience.  We’re going to explode tomorrow as the Broncos kick off the 2008 campaign against the Raiders.  Get started with [...]
