As Week One in the NFL came to a close, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs — owners of a combined 10-38 record over the past three seasons — who stood alone atop the AFC West. They arrived there in dramatic fashion. Four stops inside the six-yard line with less than a minute to play sealed […]

Once upon a time — 2008 — the Mike Shanahan-led Denver Broncos were 8-5, boasted Pro Bowlers Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, and were apparently playoff-bound. The future was bright. Then, in three horrific weeks, the wheels fell off. Shanahan was fired. Cutler was traded. And Marshall pretended to be a punter. For better or […]

Randy Gradishar‘s ticket into the Pro Football Hall of Fame became a lot harder to punch a few years ago, when the former Denver Broncos linebacker’s candidacy expired as a modern candidate and he was shuffled into the senior pool. Only two senior candidates are nominated each year. This year, Gradishar wasn’t one of them. […]

When the Broncos win, the BT staff gives out game balls… when they lose, as they did Sunday to the Jaguars, we cry ourselves to sleep.

The Denver Broncos and cornerback Champ Bailey are deep in negotiations over a four-year contract extension. Ryan Clady vs. Aaron Kampman isn’t just a marquee battle between high-profile trenchmen: it’s The Battle of the Surgically-Repaired Knees. Remember Jay Cutler?  Don’t care to?  OK, well move along.  But he expounded on the now-17-months-old drama between he […]

I’ve been known to be pretty good at predicting a thing or two when it comes to the Denver Broncos and football (the trade for John Elway; Super Bowls: XXI, XXII, XXIV, XXXII, XXXIII; the Mike Shanahan Era; Rod Smith; Champ Bailey and Janet Jackson Gate). What I’ve recently become terrible at predicting is the […]

Our weekly perusal around the Interwebz for water cooler fodder. ESPN: 22nd It won’t go over well if the Raiders pass the Broncos in the AFC West standings. CBS: 24th They’ve had a lot of big injuries this summer — see Elvis Dumervil — and those are hard to overcome for a team that can’t […]
