Denver Broncos blog, news and rumors

I’m shifting around my usual Top 10 list from now on – introducing Worst and 10, the revamped Top 10 Tuesday segment that sorta sounds like “First and 10” (good, huh) and celebrates the Top 10 of some topic… and also discusses the worst of that topic. Today I’m revisiting my old Top 10 Players […]

An infamous game in Broncos history I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love the NFL Network. Lately you get the feeling that our “real” rivals in the AFC West are the Chargers – but historically, the Broncos have the least reasons to hate our San Diego foes. It’s the Raiders […]

Pick ’em Mondays on BroncoTalk continues, and today the AFC South is under debate. This is the first division I’ve covered that will face the Broncos this season, meaning that at some point during the season we will play the Colts, Jaguars, Texans and Titans.

The Jay Cutler Era has begun in Denver… and that sentence alone perfectly illustrates the high expectations of the fans at Mile High. If you surf the net like I do, you’ll see comments on message boards saying things like, “This is the most excited I’ve been about a Broncos season since 1998!” Whenever there […]

It was only a few weeks ago that I posted my concern on all of the Broncos who are on a “one strike, you’re out” basis. It seems my concerns were well-founded, as one of those players finds himself heading to court and another, not previously listed, finds himself suspended for two games for incidents […]
