BroncoTalk.net discovered this image early Tuesday morning.

By now you’ve heard of Tebowing, the motion of getting down on one knee and mimicking Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.  While Tebowing is still alive and well, the latest internet meme that may be on the verge of going viral is Bradying.

Somewhat similar to Tebowing, Bradying is based on a picture of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during Super Bowl XLVI.  To Brady, you sit on your rump, fold your hands together and hang your head in dejection.

Folks that are Bradying are doing it in a mocking fashion, unlike many of those who Tebow.  In most cases—although not always—those who Tebow do it out of a form of flattery to Tebow.  Others just like to have their pictures viral on the internet and some do it to mock Tebow.

Much like Tebow himself, Tebowing has become so popular due to the massive amount of people that either love or hate it.  We suspect that Bradying will not see the same success as Tebowing simply because it does not attack a large audience of supporters or haters.

With all that said, Bradying is hot as of Tuesday evening.  Are you doing it? Will you do it?

Tweet your images of you Bradying to @BroncoTalk on Twitter!

Jason Hunter
Name: Jason Hunter
Height, Weight: 6’4″, 271
Position: Defensive End
Age, Experience: 28, 7
College: Appalachian State

Jason Hunter has had a lot expectations placed upon him in his two years with the Denver Broncos. A defensive end his entire career, Hunter was asked to switch positions in 2010 to outside linebacker when he signed with the club as a free agent. At the time, he admitted it was going to be a “huge challenge”, but he rose to it, tallying 61 tackles and three sacks in 12 starts as one of the relatively bright spots on a dismal defensive year in Denver. Then, in 2011, the Broncos asked Hunter to move back to DE. (Oh, and they also asked him to heal quickly following the stabbing injury caused by his girlfriend.)

Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno was arrested last week on drunken driving charges in Denver, according to the Denver Post.  After losing his starting job to Willis McGahee during the 2011 regular season, Moreno suffered a torn ACL and was placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

With two years left on his contract, Moreno was already in a tough spot in Denver.  The Broncos may have been planning to move on from the twenty-four year old running back this off-season due to his lack of production in recent years.  An arrest certainly compounds the situation.

Robert Ayers

Robert Ayers
Name: Robert Ayers
Height, Weight: 6’3″, 274
Position: Defensive End
Age, Experience: 26, 4
College: Tennessee

Robert Ayers has had some big shoes to fill. A first round draft pick in 2009 — the second selection of the short-lived Josh McDaniels era — the defensive lineman added to expectations by choosing to wear jersey #56 in his first two seasons, just like another former Volunteer-alum with the Broncos, Al Wilson. Maybe that was why Ayers switched to jersey #91 in 2011 (or maybe it was simply because his number from college became available after Ronald Fieldswasn’t re-signed), but his career to date has nevertheless been up and down. There’s reason to feel good about Ayers’ future, though — he’s finding his footing, literally and figuratively, as a run stuffer on the edge and a much-needed pass rusher in the middle of the Broncos’ defensive line.

The release of longtime Denver Broncos cap manager Mike Bluem didn’t go unnoticed, but it didn’t cause a huge stir either. Executives and personnel come and go, especially with regime changes, and the hiring of 25-year player rep Mike Sullivan could simply be a matter of John Elway finding a person with whom he felt more comfortable working.

Or it could be a matter of the Broncos making a dramatic move to “get tough” in player contract talks, as this tweet from former GM Ted Sundquist (posted minutes after the news of Bluem’s departure broke) suggests:

“Bull dogs.” Hmm… Click here to read the rest of this entry »
