The woman who accused former Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox of sexual assault has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages against Cox and current Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, according to The Associated Press.  Cox was acquitted of all charges in March, and has since signed with the San Francisco 49ers.

By now you’re all familiar with the story. D.J. Williams went to Twitter early Friday and posted a picture of the Denver Broncos playbook, now iPad-driven, joking about how he’s still old-school and wants to use pencil and paper.

Apologies for being AWOL lately — I did a bit of roadtripping to catch the Colorado Rockies kick the Arizona Diamondbacks‘ trash 4-0 last night. Since I’m staying in Phoenix all week to catch Games 2 and 3 as well, I’ve been away from the blog a bit. But let’s talk some Denver Broncos… Coachspeek has […]

The funny thing about this review is that I’ll be using the same photo from the offensive list. Super Bowl XXXII was simply an incredible moment in Denver Broncos history, especially for us fans. It wasn’t just a 38 year wait, but four Super Bowl losses – each more embarrassing than the previous. A view […]
