Phillip Rivers Defined

This definitely won't be the most high-brow thing I've ever linked to, but, hell, it's hilarious. Here's an excerpt

It's almost a cross between "guy who got picked on when he was little" and "angry drunken frat guy". After discussing this with some friends yesterday, it has been decided that one words fit Rivers to a T.

DW "Person of Interest" in custody on unrelated charge.

(CBS4) DENVER A man described by Denver police as a "person of interest" in the murder of Denver Bronco Darrent Williams was taken into federal custody in connection to what's believed to be a drug related case.

Willie Clark, 23, was arrested in January for violation of his parole. He was released by the Colorado Department of Corrections Thursday. He was then arrested by federal authorities.

Clark's DNA was taken by Denver police in February while he was in jail on unrelated charges to the Williams murder. Clark's lawyer said at the time he thought the officers were trying to link Clark to the Chevy Tahoe thought to have been used in the Williams' shooting.

No one has been charged so far in the murder of Williams.

Bell #30!!?!?

WTF?!

Mike Bell will be paid 10k from Travis Henry and gets to wear TD's number...

Apparently Bell asked TD if it was ok and "he was cool" with it, but COME ON! that number should be retired!

--------------------------------------------
In the eighth grade, Mike Bell wore a No. 30 Broncos jersey to school every day.

It's 10 years later, and Bell will wear that same number to work every day. But he felt the need for permission from Terrell Davis, the man who made that number famous in Denver.

"T.D. said it's OK, so I'm going to wear 30," Bell said Monday.

A rookie running back for the Broncos last season, Bell has agreed to sell the No. 20 he wore to free-agent pickup Travis Henry. Henry stuck to a previous offer that he would pay $10,000 for the right to take the number he wore while playing at Tennessee. Bottom line: Bell gets the cash and the opportunity to wear the number Davis wore from 1995-2001.

"I think he was surprised that I asked him," Bell said of Davis. "But he was cool about it, and I appreciate it."

Barrel man quitting

Barrel Man to retire

It was a tough weekend for unofficial NFL mascots as Miami's Dennis "Dolfan Denny" Sym and the Dallas Cowboys' Wilford "Crazy Ray" Jones died after long illnesses on back-to-back days.

In case this news had Broncos fans wondering, Tim "Barrel Man" McKernan is doing just fine, thank you, as he rests for what he says will be his 30th - and final - season of wearing the barrel.

"I'm probably going to go out with 30 seasons under my belt," said McKernan, who will be 67 when the 2007 season opens. "I'll still be attending the games and speaking at schools, but we'll be retiring the barrel."

McKernan had serious health issues in 2003, when an abdominal aneurysm ruptured. "I still don't have any stamina," he said.

Doctors have since restricted him to wearing his barrel for one half of games at Invesco Field, and then only when the temperature is above freezing.

Retired after 40 years as a mechanic for United Airlines, Mc- Kernan and his wife are based in Gunnison, but spend their offseasons traveling in their recreational vehicle.

Reached Monday in Indio, Calif., he had not heard of the passing of his mascot colleagues. RV living has its freedoms, but also its space restrictions, which was one reason the Barrel Man, who in 1999 beat John Elway to Canton, Ohio, as the first Bronco inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, sold his Super Bowl XXXII barrel for $30,000 last year.

The barrel, autographed by 49 Broncos from their first world championship team, was sold to a Black Hawk casino. McKernan gave 10 percent of his profits to a battered women's home in Gunnison.

I know this isn't usually really a rumor site... But I got excited when I read about this...

Read all about it over at http://www.footballsfuture.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=105836

Especially when we move up in the draft w/ it.

KGB's numbers have gone down recently, but it's only b/c the pack has young guys who are splitting the time.

What do you guys think?
