Born and raised a Broncos fan - lived in Westminster from when I was about 4 years old, until 18, when I moved out.... For the first time, anyway....

The image for my icon was free-hand spraypainted by me (my third time EVER trying to draw the new Bronco head, and have still only painted it that one time) on a cloth canvas that we hung up to keep the neighbor kids from messing with my dog.

Anyway, on to a little about me. In Oct. of 2006, the gas station on Hampden and Federal, which was an Amoco, then a bp, then (still?) Conoco... I was the manager and was meeting and exceeding all expected goals, and my staff and I were continually ignored and uncared about by the new ownership. Long story short - October was when I had the last straw and couldn't find a job that paid enough to what I was currently making, so I moved out to Wichita, KS (oye!) and have been here ever since... It has made me embellish my Bronco-ness at every turn even more, because living with them so close (when I was truly home, in Denver/ SOMEWHERE near the mountains) and having the notion that most the people you run into are going to be Bronco fans (relatively, compared to Chiefs/Cowboys territory out here), so every time I think Broncos, not only is it the preternatural feeling I get from my love of the game and Our team, but it brings me to feeling closer to home... I can more easily pretend I am in some humid cluster of a valley at home in Colorado, it's just that the mountains are invisible, right?

If I was wealthy, I imagine I would literally, live - that is, eat, sleep, and breathe Broncos (and Pearl Jam ; ) and other classic rock) - and be at EVERY game, every year, home and away, AND record every game for my own personal casual viewing. I used to VHS every game, timely pausing and unpausing after and before every play and highlights, respectively... But out here in Wichita, I'm lucky to get five games. But luckily - in case you're ever in Wichita, there's an awesome Broncos Bar called Champ's - the owner, Dennis, is hard core as well - and they get every game, so whenever it's not televised or Us at Arrowhead and me being there, that's where I'll be at game time.

Mile High Report Unsportsmanlike

Edit: I wrote this post under the impression that McDaniels was hired on in NE after We defeated the Steelers. As I now know, this was not the case. They had been in preliminary talks prior to the playoffs. While my main point was that this is unethical, I was also simply trying to interject some humor as well. It would be different if they had hired him, only after We beat the Steelers. This is not the case, but all of the following is the original post.

I am having a hard time coping with McDaniels going back to New England.

Every one knows how ridiculous this is. I don't have a problem with him 'knowing Our players'. You can learn all you need about them, by watching game film. That's legit and logical. The problem I have, is I think McCoy's playbook is likely approximately 60% from McDaniel's playbook while he was here. Let's delve, shall We?

They brought him in because he'll disclose player's secrets (He knows that Clady always blinks twice when it's a run play).

Hey, he's just a stellar coach. Why wouldn't you bring him in?

"The Broncos are also the only cheerleading squad that has a breast augmentation sponsor, Dr. Ben Lee."

I found that part interesting... I woulda figured a squad closer to Hollywood if you told me there was only one of the 32. No biggie. Get it? Cause there's two anyway.... No biggies? Specific biggies?

Also make sure to get your vote in for Round 10 of Our own Royal_Fan's "Best cheerleader" competition.

You might be too big of a Tim Tebow fan if's

- Your wife or girlfriend says/has ever said anything similar to "... If you'd spend as much money on me as you did him..."

- You've never heard the name Andrew Luck.

- You sold all your stuff before the apocalypse because an 'unknown source' said Tim supported that dude's idea.

- You've been a Bronco fan for years, and when We drafted Tim, you decided to become a missionary for a while just to relate with him more.

I was just wingin some - feel free to add!

Not necessarily Bronco related, but relevant to lockout - creating a drought in all other football news, and it's funny at the end.

Hey who says James Harrisson can't still eventually be a class act... By pulling the whole, last minute, death bed repentance thing? (totally stole that from a Simpsons episode where Bart says that's his religious angle).

From DB.com, after reading the story (which has some good detail... Dude got to meet Rahim Moore after he was picked!)

Also, check out the pictures of the "Meet the 2011 Draft Pick" contest winners, they got to meet Miller, Elway, and sign a one day contract with the Broncos! That'd be sweet. Link

I have an old friend who let his facebook friends know about this bid, I imagine, because he waited for the price to go up near what he expected to get for it. Alas, there's less than a day left on the bidding and I figured someone here would have more than the $150 it's currently sitting at, and would want it as much as I do. I don't have the cash, or I wouldn't have let you all know. ( ;

Mile High Report Don't Let 'Em Do It


I know how easy it is to succumb.  But don't let the San Diego Chargers do this to your love of all things Broncos!!! I know you're wondering "Where is the team I saw last weekend against the Chiefs?" and possibly how similar last night's Monday Night Football was to when We played acted like We were gonna play the Raiders at Mile High a few weeks back..... Do a couple things and ask yourself what purpose does being negative serve?

Love my Broncos but what they are right now sucks and I want something to happen. Not saying it is the firing of the coach or TEBOW. Just something to light a spark. I though that spark was lit last weekend but it wasnt.

With the way you make your way down the field to make special teams tackles, are you the fastest guy on the team?

"Yeah, yeah, I am. I had to scan around real quick, but yeah."*

*Nate Jones took offense to this answer.

Good stuff. I really like the fact that Our Special Teams has plenty of guys with good chemistry. Let's hope Bruton can get in there to give SD their fifth (and sixth and seventh?) blocked punt on the season.

Only stipulations to enter are, enter your email address, a couple other items (name, etc.)

After that, just have to be listening to KOA between sept. 7th - 11th..... Since I don't live in CO, and yes, you can listen to KOA online, but I doubt I'll get the chance at the right times, so for those that might. ( =

Offering three chances to win a package deal - Trip to London, hotel, 2 Tickets to the Broncos vs. 49ers, and two VIP passes to the party Elway and Little will be at!

Awesome possum. There are three opportunities to enter, must like Denver Broncos, Denver Post, and some dude named John Atencio on facebook. May someone from MHR win! (and if you do, you better let us know!).

It's semi generic, but in the offseason, it's fun to make your own players, be their agent... Build a team, or just level your own players up. It's really helped me bide time .

Goal Line Blitz is the name of it.

I am trying to figure out if Kyle has rubbed off on Josh McDaniels in at least one fashion.

When Kyle first became a Bronco, I went and watched as much footage of him I could. Including interviews. I noticed him using the phrase "No Question" quite frequently. As of late, I have heard Coach use the phrase more and more, and can't help but wonder if Kyle's rubbing off on him. I thought it might be fun to see who can find the oldest footage of one or the other using it. Not like it's a completely unique phrase or anything, just something I picked up on.

This will be on Horse Tracks tomorrow, but I was excited, when I read (at the very end of the article) that both Williamssses (ha ha) were there, and wanted it to be known. Sorry if you already knew or wanted to wait for Horse Tracks and I spoiled it. ( ;

Broncos receive two picks from Tampa Bay for next year's fifth round

What incentive did Tampa Bay have to do this?

I'm a little lost on this one. Maybe the FO gave Tamba Bay 'first dibs' on whichever QB doesn't make the roster?

Can anyone help my understanding this exchange?

Mile High Report My Mockery of the Mock Process


Not really, but catchy title eh?

Please do not take offense, I thoroughly understand the reasoning and the fun it can be creating and/or reading mock drafts.

However, I am not one who enjoys all this (especially sooo many) pure speculation. To me, it equates to the whole summer and into preseason being filled with post after post of 'my prediction of our W/L for each game this year' posts, which we don't see too many of (thank goodness), relatively of course, when compared to the number of mock drafts we see.  I think Fantasy Football is ten times better than attempting to predict either of the former, and that isn't saying much, because Fantasy Football seems to take (any) fans' focus from their team and it's players, to hoping whoever they drafted in their fantasy league does good. Keep on after the leap....

Good stuff, and well deserved. Let's get him some accolades, eh?

Oh yeah, and for Air Player.... Just pick Warner, no need to elevate any Charger's or Raider's ego.

I think last week, Percy Harvin from the Vikings had a 'better' game, in other words, earned the award a bit more than Knowshon, considering the position differences and total accomplishments for those games... BUT, he's not a Bronco, now is he? And I can't tell you how many times I voted the previous three times he's (Moreno) been up. ( =

If we vote enough, this will be Knowshon's fourth and the most for any rookie this season so far.

From DB.com's blog about it:
"Moreno leads all rookies with 182 rushing attempts and 774 rushing yards. For four straight weeks, Moreno has eclipsed 80 yards rushing. His six games with 80 or more rushing yards ties for second among all NFL rookies since 2000."

This idea was mentioned prior - I personally read somewhere about someone planning one the day of the game, in the parking lot of Mile High (which I didn't think needed to be pointed out is ridiculous). However as you can see, this one is the day before the game and obviously authorized by the appropriate authorities. I still can't see just throwing your physical momento of Bronco memories away in this fashion. To each their own, not too big a deal, but fun for some I'm sure. ( =

Mile High Report David Letterman's Top Ten: Ways To piss Jay Cutler off



(disclaimer: This is purely intended for entertainment, I do not represent and am not David Letterman, I didn't really know if I should spell his name wrong on purpose to avoid any issue, or use the phrase 'piss off' for that matter... but there I went... And I respect Jay Cutler as a player, and would have loved to have seen what him and Our new coach could have accomplished together)

That being said and assuming that we all have a sense of humor (which is the emphasis for this, in case you aren't familiar with Letterman's top ten) and know a little history of Jay, Dave and recent ongoings.....
