RG3 and Decoding Shanahan
Posted on 11 Aug 2012 by Steven Keys.
Go back to the year 1988. The Raiders are in Los Angeles, Tom Flores has been demoted upstairs by owner Al Davis and Denver assistant coach Mike Shanahan is hired by the silver & black for his first NFL head coaching job. Now fast-forward…not too fast, just one and one-quarter seasons later. After finishing 7-9 amidst an on-going, internal clash of loyalties, a 1-3 start in ‘89 gives Da...

Calm Before Storm Tebow
Posted on 1 Jul 2012 by Steven Keys.
Take a deep breath. Hold it in. Breath out. Again. Now close your eyes. Drink in the calm, the serenity. Imagine birds singing, squirrels frolicking, puffy white clouds drifting by on blue sky…wait a second. Wake up! There’s the neighbor’s dog, doing-his-thing on your lawn. Landlord phoned, says he can’t fix the A/C ‘til next week. And today your boss put up the new schedule: you’re...

Denver Broncos 2011-12 Year in Review
Posted on 27 Jun 2012 by Rob Stroup.
Welcome to the Denver Broncos blog. As this is my first entry, I feel an obligation to look back on the rollercoaster ride over the past nine months. There was the lackluster 1-4 start to the 2011 season. The Broncos couldn't get over the proverbial hump. Kyle Orton's veteran savvy, leadership, and efficiency from 2010 looked to be a thing of the past. In Week 5 against San Diego, first...

Tebow in God’s Country?
Posted on 21 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
It’s the answer to John Elway’s prayer. Peyton Manning signed to a 5-year, $96 million contract with the Denver Broncos. (Bag) two birds with one stone, is the proverb. With Peyton on board, Elway instantly elevates his club to contender-status (Vegas 8:1), while also creating cause to ship-off his run-first QB without incurring great wrath from Cult Tebow. Tim’s been an albatross around ...

Peyton’s Place
Posted on 1 Feb 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Despite enduring his third neck surgery, Peyton Manning claims that he is not seriously considering retirement. Manning is the face of the Indianapolis Colts (since relocating from Baltimore in 1984) franchise and the reason for the city of Indianapolis hosting Super Bowl XLVI in the stadium that Peyton and Irsay built… and yet… Tom Brady and Eli Manning will square off in the Super Bowl th...

Colts Dealing Out Peyton?
Posted on 17 Jan 2012 by Steven Keys.
Peyton Manning is in unfamiliar territory. For the first time in his long, accomplished career, the NFL’s version of John Wayne is unsure what his future holds. If there’s any truth to recent media reports Peyton’s employers are seriously considering handing him his hat anytime soon. It makes me think a little of Jodie Foster. That’s right, Ms. Foster, the Academy Award winning actress ...

Elway’s Tebow Dilemma
Posted on 5 Jan 2012 by Steven Keys.
John Elway’s in a real pickle. On the one hand, he let himself get swept-up in Tebowmania, making a 2012 verbal commitment, of sorts, to his 2nd-year starting QB: “Tim Tebow's not going anywhere…he's going to be a Bronco.” (AP / 12-20). And he surprisingly did this when the Tebow tide was just starting to ebb. On the other hand, since the Broncos’ VP of football OPs jumped on board th...

Would the Vikings Draft Andrew Luck?
Posted on 23 Dec 2011 by Sean Eckhardt.
As the Indianapolis Colts beat the Houston Texans on Thursday night, fans in Indy probably started getting nervous. Throughout the season writers, broadcasters, and fans have been speculating about whether or not the Colts would, or should draft Stanford QB Andrew Luck with the #1 overall pick in next April's draft. Peyton Manning has been out the entire season and his future health is unce...

Stanford Cardinal Football Preview: Battle for Control of the PAC-10
Posted on 30 Sep 2010 by Donovan Williams.
The last time the Stanford Cardinal cracked the top 10 of the Associated Press poll, Jim Harbaugh was waning on the Carolina Panther bench in the final season of his otherwise respectable NFL career. Stanford’s stay in the top 10 back in 2001 was a brief one. They fell out of the top 10 the following week after a loss to Washington. Rest assured, Jim Harbaugh is looking to keep the Cardinal i...

I thought I’d never hear McNabb utter the words “I’m a Redskin”
Posted on 6 Apr 2010 by Mercedes Green.
Sitting down to watch today’s press conference for announcing Donovan McNabb as a Redskin was surreal at best. It’s hard for a redskin fan, whose been cursing and booing this guy for so long, to now listen to him and eventually cheer for him? It will take some time to adjust, but it’s done and I, as well as all Redskins fans, have to move forward. As Mike Shanahan announced McNabb, he...

Karl Mecklenburg Interview
Posted on 24 Nov 2009 by Adam Becker.
The NFL and its players have changed quite a bit over the past couple of decades. One of the 1980’s and 1990’s finest defensive players was Denver Bronco Karl Mecklenburg. A six-time NFL Pro Bowl selection, and Denver Broncos “Ring of Fame” inductee, Karl exhibited a level of perseverance and dedication rarely found in the modern-day professional athlete. Through a life...
