That’s a wrap, folks – the Denver Broncos 2009 training camp has come to an end. The team held its final camp practice Thursday, which Head Coach Josh McDaniels said puts them firmly in “regular season mode.” After practice, McDaniels discussed the statuses (statii?) of Matt Prater, Brian Dawkins and Brandon Marshall, among other things. […]

Brandon Marshall may have been cleared in the court of law, but he is being crucified in the court of public opinion.  After hinting that things might be reaching a breaking point between he and the Broncos, and admitting that his lack of knowledge of the playbook is the culprit behind his scout team duties, […]

Stink List: Pre-Season Week 1 Note: Stink List will be a weekly post going up every Sunday night/ Monday depending on Broncos game time/how excited/depressed I am over the outcome. It’s a list, or grouping, or cluster of people, things, stuff, situations, that I deem stinky in the previous/particular week. The oral stink list had […]

There have been a few moments this offseason that have left this Broncos fan speechless. The moment we fired Mike Shanahan. The day Pat Bowlen announced Jay Cutler would be traded. During the NFL draft, when we traded a first rounder for second round pick Alphonso Smith, and later when we traded back into the […]

“He (Orton) made a few mistakes, but we’re not going to go into this thing after the first preseason game and start tailspinning and doing this and that and making knee-jerk reactions.” — Head Coach Josh McDaniel Consider your disclaimer about knee-jerk reactions acknowledged, Coach.
