On Friday evening, I was looking at the Broncos depth chart and saw that quarterback Tim Tebow weighs 235 pounds these days.  That’s notable because (a) he has lost weight since his rookie season (236) and (b), he’s a big quarterback. So I did some research to find: Denver’s starting quarterback (Tebow) weighs as much [...]

In March of 2009, former Broncos Coach Josh McDaniels tried (unsuccessfully) to trade for former New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel.  The news broke and former Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler wasn’t a happy camper.  Cutler asked for a trade and Cassel ended up in Kansas City. The Broncos then agreed to trade Cutler and a [...]

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.  That has to be the thinking of Oakland Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer. While in Cincinnati, Palmer played the Denver Broncos and cornerback Champ Bailey three times (2004, 2006 and 2009).  In those three games, Bailey defended three passes (one of which he tipped and was intercepted) [...]

“(The Broncos are) 3-5. They’ve only played one game against a team currently with a losing record. They’ve beaten two division leaders this year. Bottom line? The Broncos have improved; they were in the league’s slums last year, but now are back in the middle class. It’s not where they want to be, but in [...]

Tim Tebow gets by with a little help from his friends. On Sunday, his friends didn’t just “help” — they dominated. Running back Willis McGahee burst free at the very end of the third quarter with a 60-yard touchdown run, totaling 163 yards rushing against the Oakland Raiders. Wide receiver Eddie Royal returned a punt [...]

It starts at quarterback but trickles down each team’s entire roster: you can hardly call this Broncos-Raiders tilt a “rematch.” [Denver Post] Carson Palmer levied the Raiders to sign an old friend: WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh. [NFL.com] The Raiders will likely be without RB Darren McFadden. [Yahoo! Sports] Willis McGahee and Orlando Franklin were both limited [...]

Roger Goodell should give the Cincinnati Bengals a call.  They just got away with highway robbery. Sitting at 4-2 with a legitimate chance of winning the AFC West this season, the Oakland Raiders lost starting quarterback Jason Campbell for the season and went into panic mode.  After pondering Philadelphia’s Vince Young and Denver’s Kyle Orton, [...]

The players have spoken:  Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Lloyd has been voted the 58th best player in the NFL.  Congrats, Mr. Lloyd!  [NFL Network Video] Remember former Broncos back up quarterback Matt Mauck?  Well, he’s coming back.  Not as a player, but as a team dentist.  (Yes, seriously.)  [Aurora Sentinal] Redskins always entertaining tight [...]

Twenty-six hundred, that’s what the Denver Broncos second overall pick in the first round is worth on the NFL draft value chart. That’s a lot of points. Probably more points than anyone is willing to give up in order for the Broncos to trade back. Usually the gap in compensation is made up for by [...]

My power rankings are fittingly named the ‘Tentative Ten’ because every week it’s subject to change, and erratically at that. Also featured is a Rookie, Defensive, and Offensive Player of the Year Watch, and a Coach of the Year Watch, and Movie to watch this week. 1. New Orleans Saints (7-0) Sorry rookie Jairus Byrd, [...]
