Denver Broncos blog, news and rumors

Denver Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan appeared on FM 104.3 The Fan in Denver Friday morning and said, emphatically, “We will not miss the playoffs.” Not only did he assure fans that the Broncos were playoff-bound, but he went on to say (paraphrasing), “We will do something special once we’re there.” This wasn’t typical Shanahan […]

Denver radio station FM 104.3 The Fan threw plenty of Denver Broncos fans for a loop a few minutes ago. They began reporting that the NFL and Roger Goodell has handed WR Brandon Marshall a four-game suspension for violation of the league’s Player Conduct Policy.

John Lynch and the Denver Broncos have agreed to part ways. While it’s disappointing as fans to see a favorite player go, it’s an inevitable step in a 16-year NFL career. Had Lynch not asked for his release this year, he likely would have retired the next, so let’s discuss less what the future has […]

What seemed like a happy-go-lucky anecdote on the team’s official blog Tuesday actually has me a bit concerned. Brandon Marshall took off his right shoe Tuesday, and ran several drills to end the afternoon practice with only his left shoe. At first glance, it’s nothing to sweat over.
