On Valentine's Day, professional ballers have a big job -- impressing spouses or lovers who sometimes get as much attention as they do...at least from the website PlayerWives.com. The significant others of numerous Colorado jocks are highlighted on the site, but we're focusing on five, including one ... More >>
Now we know who the Broncos will face in their 2013 playoffs debut: the Baltimore Ravens, by dint of the squad's 24-9 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. So...will the emotion from Ray Lewis's final home game (depicted in videos included in a big collection of clips below) help the Ravens def ... More >>
Sunday's Broncos-Ravens match-up looked to be the most difficult on Denver's second-half-of-the-season schedule -- a road game against a division-leading team whose quarterback, Joe Flacco, continues to chirp about how he and his squad are among the NFL's elite. They sure as hell didn't look like it ... More >>
The funniest moment in the broadcast of Denver's 31-23 victory over Tampa Bay took place after Peyton Manning waved his hands to quiet the ecstatic Mile High Stadium throng prior to a play. Cut to the crowd a few seconds later and everyone in the shot was sitting quietly, like chastised grade school ... More >>
While the interest in Peyton Manning nationally is running high (as witnessed by how often Denver's played in prime time this season), the excitement level locally has been muted in comparison with last year's Tim Tebow mania. But that may be about to change. Hours after the Chosen One missed a bloc ... More >>
Today, Denver blog posts find pretty much everything debatable. Predominantly Orange's Kim Constantinesco thinks Ronnie Hillman's performance against Oakland on Sunday has pretty much stamped Knowshon Moreno's ticket out of town. WhoSaidYouSaid's Joshua Sharf thinks the Democrats' cynical exploita ... More >>
After gut-wrenching comebacks-that-weren't to the Falcons and the Texans, the Broncos needed a laugher -- and they got one. Denver's 37-6 demolition of the hated Oakland Raiders was perfectly timed going into the most brutal stretch of an already killer schedule. More important, the game showed the ... More >>
How can you tell that no one cared about the Broncos' 16-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals last night? One way: John Elway was brought into the broadcast booth to try to prevent channel surfing in the second quarter. Another: Not a single YouTube user on the planet has shared contest footage at this ... More >>
Not that the expectations for Peyton Manning's preseason debut as a Denver Bronco were high or anything, but the intro to 9News' broadcast of last night's game against the Chicago Bears featured the sort of Leni Riefenstahl-style music and imagery that would have been appropriate to live coverage of ... More >>
Denver blog posts have the quicks. Bronco Talk's Monty thinks Broncos training camp may be the last chance for two top draft picks from the Josh McDaniels era: Robert Ayers and Knowshon Moreno. Denver Egotist on the USA Pro Cycling Challenge campaign. At Square State, Jack Van Ens asks, "Is succe ... More >>
In the wake of Elvis Dumervil's Miami bust over the weekend, the Denver Post noted that the Broncos are third in the NFL since 2000 (behind only Minnesota and Cincinnati) in an extremely dubious category: most arrests. The paper's source: an amazing database created by the San Diego Union-Tribune, w ... More >>
Denver blog posts are feeling frisky. Mile High Report: Is Knowshon Moreno among the biggest first-round busts in recent memory? Discuss. Denver Egotist: Check out Josh Holland's grabby graphics for Paper Tiger. They're grrrreat! Plants & Animals Denver: Want to go out for some vegan drinks? Make ... More >>
OMG, did you hear that ESPN's NFL Draft gasbag Mel Kiper gave the Broncos draft class a C ? What will the organization do after receiving such a mediocre evaluation? Maybe John Elway and other executives will assess the players in training camp, attempt to improve their weaknesses and put them in a ... More >>
While Denver Broncos running back Willis McGahee was getting (almost) naked for a Go Daddy commercial spoof, Knowshon Moreno, the baller he pretty much displaced, saw his year go from bad to worse. Moreno is facing four counts, including driving under the influence, after being pulled over for spee ... More >>
willismcgahee.comThree Denver Broncos will be going to the Pro Bowl this year -- the NFL's annual all-star game in Hawaii, and all of them, cornerback Champ Baily, defensive end Elvis Dumervil and rookie linebacker Vonn Miller, are deserving of the honor. They've been highlight films into the ... More >>
Video below.Tim Tebow believers have always viewed him as a miracle worker, and after the Broncos' 17-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday, they've got more inexplicable evidence to support their argument. As his Lord and Savior conjured up loaves and fishes, Tebow created a victory ... More >>
Yesterday's 49-23 Broncos loss to the Packers wasn't the first time Denver inspired chants of "TEEE-BOW!" on the road, but it may have been the most telling. At this point, the Broncos are so uninteresting, so unlikely to inspire the passions of longtime rooters and haters alike, that fans of every ... More >>
Kyle Orton.CBS4 has been touting the Broncos' 24-22 win over the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday by noting that the team is tied for first place in the AFC West -- which is technically true but does nothing to put the game into a larger context. Because while Denver deserves credit for prevailin ... More >>
Kyle Orton.Question for all those optimists expecting to see the Denver Broncos leave the Josh McDaniels debacle behind them: How are you feeling this morning? Depressed, probably -- because all the flaws that led to McD's ouster were still on view in their 23-20 home loss to the dreaded Raid ... More >>
Moreno.Have you had your government-recommended helping of Denver blog posts yet today? Predominantly Orange's Kim Constantinesco asks: Is a stud running back to step in for Knowshon Moreno a higher priority for the Broncos than defensive-line help? At Peoples Press Collective, Ari Armstron ... More >>
Videos below.During the blessedly completed Josh McDaniels era, top picks like Knowshon Moreno and Tim Tebow defied conventional wisdom -- and we still don't know if they'll pay off in the long run. In contrast, the choice of Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller makes perfect sense from the start ... More >>
Josh McDaniels.The speed with which Josh McDaniels's Denver Broncos career went south was absolutely stunning -- and we documented every misstep. Below, we've linked to and excerpted from twenty posts over twenty months that tell the tale, from personnel mistakes involving the likes of Jay Cu ... More >>
Thom McDaniels.At this point, another humiliating Broncos defeat -- 10-6 to the Kansas City Chiefs -- hardly qualifies as unexpected. But somehow, embattled Coach Josh McDaniels still manages to surprise with his poor decision-making and PR tone-deafness -- and he did so again on Sunday. How ... More >>
Josh McDaniels.Fresh off a humiliating video scandal, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels and his team desperately needed a win at home against the improving but very beatable St. Louis Rams -- and they didn't get one, losing 36-33. Yes, the Broncos made the final score close -- but close wasn't cl ... More >>
Philip Rivers.San Diego QB Philip Rivers not only wins games. He also wins the Terrible Sportsmanship triffecta: He's a bad winner, a bad loser and, I'd be willing to bet, bad when he ties. Rivers has raised assholery to an art form, which only makes the 35-14 hurting he and the Chargers put ... More >>
Josh McDaniels.On Friday, we published ten great Broncos video moments against the Chiefs in part because we feared there might not be any on Sunday -- but we needn't have worried. The Broncos' 49-29 stomping of the K.C. crew featured more highlights than the rest of the season combined (see ... More >>
Josh McDaniels.After our "Top 10 Ways Josh McDaniels Has Destroyed the Denver Broncos" post last week following the team's 59-14 shellacking by the Oakland Raiders, we hoped there'd be no reason to come up with another critical list today. No such luck. The Broncos' 24-16 collapse against th ... More >>
Josh McDaniels.Is it fair to blame Coach Josh McDaniels for the Broncos' humiliating 59-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders yesterday? In a word: yes. McDaniels was brought to Denver to revitalize a once-proud franchise. Instead, he's steadily undermined the squad with stupid decisions, poor manag ... More >>
Tim Tebow.No denying that the Jets' 24-20 win over the Broncos yesterday was agonizing. But it was also predictable. Point blank, a good team would have won that game -- and that the Broncos didn't provides a mighty clear indication of where they stand on a qualitative scale. Meanwhile, the ... More >>
Laurence Maroney.Last week, we suggested that based on her performance in a familiar Snickers commercial, Betty White would be an upgrade over the current Broncos running backs -- a reference that, truth be told, we thought was kinda funny. But after yesterday's worse-than-the-score-implies 3 ... More >>
Kyle Orton.Did you ever expect Kyle Orton to throw for 476 yards in a Broncos uni? Probably not. Did you ever think you'd see him toss a pass like that 48-yard touchdown strike to Brandon Lloyd? Doubt it. Did you expect to see the Broncos lose to the Colts by two touchdowns? Yup -- and here ... More >>
Carmelo.Lookit these three Denver blog posts. Denver Stiffs' Andrew Feinstein links to the latest Melo trade rumor -- he'd go to New Jersey, with the Nuggets getting the Nets' Derrick Favors, Utah's Andrei Kirilenko and draft picks aplenty. Interesting, anyhow. 5280's Michael de Yoanna note ... More >>
Demaryius Thomas.During the Broncos 31-14 trouncing of the Seattle Seahawks yesterday, you could almost hear the entire city of Denver sighing with relief: Aaah, that's more like it! And it was -- particularly in comparison to last week's dispiriting loss to Jacksonville. But there's a very ... More >>
Kyle Orton.The Broncos' 24-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday was frustrating to watch, and not only because of the final score. Denver kept showing flashes of promise on both sides of the ball throughout the contest, but not enough -- and not often enough. The results will leave ... More >>
Kyle Orton.Kyle Orton has been praised up one side and down the other for his play in this weekend's loss to the Detroit Lions. Why? Presumably because Broncos fans, and journalists covering the team, are so desperate to find something positive to write about a team seemingly on the fast trac ... More >>
Tim Tebow.The Broncos' loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the first pre-season game proved that Tim Tebow is the best third-string QB in the National Football League -- but maybe not for long. A Bleacher Report post offering 75 predictions for the 2010 NFL season argues that Tebow will start ... More >>
Elvis Dumervil with functional pectorals.The most recent news item on the Denver Broncos' official website is entitled, "Sacking Negativity." Nothing breeds optimism like chin-up articles from the team 6 days into training camp! But hey -- at least they'll be sacking something this season. ... More >>
Tim Tebow.Training camp officially opened for the Broncos on Sunday, with a record-setting crowd turning out simply to breathe (almost) the same air as Tim Tebow, third-string quarterback. Whether these folks will get the chance to see Tebow under center during games that count remains a maj ... More >>
"I have one, but that doesn't mean I am one."The trade of Brandon Marshall to the Miami Dolphins is official, with BM promptly signing a $50 million-plus contract (with $24 million guaranteed). But the debate goes on about whether this was a win-win or lose-win situation for the Broncos and t ... More >>
A Flickr photoJarvis Green is coming to the Broncos from New England?

If you'd rather see Josh McDaniels swearing look below.You didn't really think the Broncos were going to win six games and then lose the next ten did you? You didn't really think they would suddenly just turn into the team everyone expected them to be and make a mockery of hope? Wait, what? ... More >>
This smile wasn't on display much yesterday.No one's deep-throating any shotguns following the Broncos' 30-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens yesterday. The Broncos had been lucky to be 6-0 -- hell, they were fortunate to be 1-0 -- and they were more than due for a reality check. But the way the ... More >>
If you're searching for some optimism for the forthcoming Broncos season, look no further than the NFL manifesto posted today by ESPN.com's Bill Simmons, wherein he picks the Broncos to be this season's no-one-saw-this-coming surprise team. His take: Nobody believes in them because they lost ... More >>
The deal that finally got Knowshon Moreno, the Broncos' first draft pick, into camp includes almost a nearly $13 million guarantee -- a big chunk of change, particularly considering how prone running backs are to getting hurt. Fortunately, Moreno has what WalterFootball.com's pre-draft report desc ... More >>

As training camp gets into full swing and the football season looms ever closer, our beloved Denver Broncos are stuck in what's known as a "rebuilding" year. As a team in flux, the orange and blue face many questions. Can Josh McDaniels succeed as a head coach? Will Kyle Orton be able to exec ... More >>
Watching the NFL draft during the Mike Shanahan era was consistently frustrating, since the team regularly made odd personnel choices, far too many of which didn't work out (Maurice Clarett, anyone?). For that reason, a lot of us were looking forward to the first draft since the arrival of a regi ... More >>
I'm mad. Mad about new Broncos coach JoshMcDufus's arrogantly poor handling of the Jay Cutler affair, mad about his signing of, as my friend Mayf called it, the PuPu Platter of washed up running backs (Correll Buckhalter, J.J. Arrington and LaMont Jordan) to compliment (?) our existing cast of be ... More >>
