According to the Denver Post, Denver’s former defensive captain and middle linebacker, Al Wilson, has refused an offer from the Browns. The Browns offered him $730k (which is practically the veteran minimum). And although he has failed physicals from several teams and interest in him from teams has been relatively low this off-season, Wilson still […]

So, it’s official… DJ Williams is moving. Moving, that is, to the weak side LB position despite his fantastic statistical first year in the middle. As I’ve said in the past, I think this is a huge slap in the face of an athlete like DJ, who at the bare minimum deserved to compete for […]

Ted Sundquist is gone. And filling in some of his responsibilities will be Joe Ellis — the Broncos’ COO (Chief Operating Officer). Joey, let me give you a very unofficial early review of your job performance thus far… You suck. Axing Andrew Mason… bad call. VERY bad call. Maybe you don’t own a computer or […]

I think we’re in for an interesting season in ‘08. A season we might entitle: MIKE’S BIG SHOW. Cause in my opinion, the outcome of this season is going to have a major influence on the future of my favorite Broncos coach, Mike Shanahan. Yes, the news has been full of talk about his firing […]

Riddle me this, batman, how exactly does a Head Coach fire a GM? I ask this question because in 99% of the organizations around the NFL the position of GM is above the position of Head Coach. So, for example, in San Diego it was the GM that fired Schottenheimer not the other way around. […]

Bryant Johnson played a critical role in McCree coming to Denver, and we may all owe him a big ‘thank you’ after this season. Johnson is the Bills highest priority free agent this off-season. Unfortunately for them, he still hasn’t made up his mind where to go. While Buffalo waits to see if they need […]
