New York 12/30/08 I started this column yesterday, to address things that hadn’t really been touched on too much yet (Broncos 2009 schedule, #12 overall draft pick, again, maybe mentioning free agency)- then BANG! Like a misplaced shot from a current Vice President, former Wyomingite, to the face- Mike Shanahan is gone. All because he […]

Mike Shanahan has been fired, and Jay Cutler is not happy. Per the Rocky Mountain News: “I’m disappointed, I’m shocked, I’m not happy about it, I’m not pleased with it at all,” Cutler said by phone Tuesday. “We had zero inkling this was going to happen. I didn’t have a clue.” … “I think with […]

Mike Shanahan is no longer the Head Coach of the Denver Broncos. Owner Pat Bowlen announced that he has fired Shanahan, who also serves as Executive Vice President of Football Operations, effective immediately, after an 8-8 season and missing the playoffs for the third straight year. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen issued the following statement: “After […]

DENVER BRONCOS 2009 SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED » Well, we can say this about 2009, it certainly won’t be any easier… Though it’s been no secret that Denver would face the NFC East and the AFC North in 2009. What people weren’t sure about was who those last two-teams would be; the Broncos drew the Indianapolis Colts […]

So much for enjoying a much-improved 2008 season. After the 2007 season, the Denver Broncos (7-9) drafted 12th overall. After 2008, the Broncos (8-8) will do the same. Thanks to trades made during and before the season, the Broncos have ten total draft choices, in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 5th, 5th, 6th, 6th, […]

Should the Denver Broncos fire defensive coordinator Bob Slowik? Arguments for letting Slowik go: This was the worst defensive performance the Broncos have had in years, and it took place at the most crucial time. The Broncos allowed 52 points in the final piece of an epic late season collapse, losing the AFC West lead […]

UPDATE: Mike Shanahan has been fired. I fully expect Mike Shanahan to be the Head Coach of the Denver Broncos in 2009. Will Pat Bowlen fire him? It’s very unlikely. Bowlen has given him “Coach for Life” status. Will Shanahan resign after missing the playoffs in three straight seasons? Probably not, but at this point, […]

For the thousands of fans inside of the San Diego Charger’s Qualcomm Stadium it was one of the biggest backhands a fan could ever endure. Denver never could get the upper-hand as San Diego took the reigns and ran with the game. The Chargers didn’t even punt until the third quarter with thirty-seven seconds left. […]

Whether it be the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat, all the world’s a stage and we are merely players. The whole offseason, it was hard to forget Jay Cutler walking backwards towards the Broncos bench with three Chargers players bunched together and screaming at him. It was hard to forget until that, […]

Week 17, I can’t remember who asked me, but someone asked me- Who I thought had a better chance of making the playoffs this weekend: Tampa Bay or San Diego? Tampa, I said. Why Tampa? they asked. Because San Diego has to play Denver. Complain all you like, but just like Jay Cutler said- if […]
