The hits just keep on coming for my Denver Broncos. I really do hate it and now we are sure to have the annual did he play well enough and will he retire drama. Ah well, It is Peyton "Freakin" Manning! Honestly, I don't know how to feel. I think I should be excited, but I'm not. I don't hate it either. I am worried that the risk is going to outweigh the reward..

Jump with me for a nice little rant.

Thank You, MHR!!

This probably should be a fanshot but I want to share several pictures here. I am a bit late as well, I actually got it last Wednesday. So lets make that ever elusive jump.

Yep, it sure seems that way these days.  Almost everything written on MHR is Tebow related.  Even ESPN and NFLN have moved on realizing that there is a story about our defense to be discussed.  Sure, sure, they still talk plenty about Tebow and they will continue to until it no longer gets reaction.  Seems every move made, every comment about Tebow is scrutinized for meaning and intent.

Follow along after we jump.

That's right, I said it.  Why not?  EFX needs to make the masses happy.  Why not do it?  Orton did not look any better than the rest of the team.  We don't expect to make the playoffs.  We are a rebuilding team.

We have three QB's on this roster that have been starting QB's in the NFL.  Opinions vary but there is support for two of them and even reason for the third to get his shot.  I say we should rotate QB's.  That would certainly end the debate.  We have 15 games left, thats Five per QB.

Here we go.  The Broncos have four QB's that are showing promise.  Orton, Quinn, Tebow, Webber.

We have three vets and a rookie.  Two have been on multiple teams with less than stellar records.  One has certainly been feeling like a yo-yo.  One has not shown the promise he brought with him to the NFL, One has brought excitement and hope to the fans. One came in with no fanfare or expectations and has performed well.  Don't know which is which? Yes, you do!  Shall we jump?

The Eagles are overjoyed.  One of the local sports guys is an Eagle fan and you can hear it in his voice.  Haven't even been to BGN to read up, I would be too disappointed.  Honestly, I am bored with FA.  Don't get me wrong, I think the approach is sound.  There have been good signings and seems like they are looking at the available talent.  We have a nice seat at the waivers buffet and I am patient.

So let's jump (one day I would like to be on the front page so there really is a jump )

 The QB debate has come back full force, the lockout now has new momentum, and training camp may just be wishful thinking.  I haven't read up on the courts ruling and barely read the news report.  Suffice it to say I am depressed.   Jump on into my Saturday morning meanderings.

Got some good captions from the last pic.

My favs:

After a long search for a real coaching staff the Broncos front office think they’ve found their guys.  CPT Caveman

And Raider fan doing evil to a poor shetland pony!  Broncomagicfan

So, since things are still slow and we are now fighting over the Greatest player thread, I figured I would keep this going for something to vent on.  This leads me to my choice for our next caption.  Bring your anger, frustration, and utter disdain and lets put a caption on this photo........  All in good fun though, let's be civil and family friendly.

We have reports of a CBA being "almost done" and now today I read a report how D Smith says there is a ways to go.  I for one want a deal, NOW!  Dammit........

Ok, my caption:  Ok, not a caption but thought balloons.

Goodell- Wow, I thought that was a good deal

Smith- Wow, I got that dude hurtin for sure

Let's jump

It's a slow Saturday.  I am watching racing myself.   Thought it would be fun to go look for an image and post it.

I hope everyone is having a good day , it's time to  warm up your funny bone, and let's go jump

Ok, a random photo, I just did a quick search and grabbed the first picture that made me  really stop to look at it.   What the heck were these guys thinkin?   LOL.  Granted this is in London and I don't really know what the "Dead Broncos" are or how they relate to our Broncos.  So what do you think?  What caption would you like to see added to this photo?

My caption:   These guys swear the pockets in the neck are for controlling the mouth of the horse, really!

Petitions, A Lockout, QB Roulette, and Summer is almost here.

     Good Morning and welcome to decision day.  Well, sort of, we will get a ruling which will lead to something next.  While we all argue and discuss whatever we can come up with I have found myself wondering at the timing of life.  I have more time on my hands than I have ever had.  I have access to more information than ever and I found a site with a core of fans I have connected with.   What do I get to do?   Have the same debate 20 times.  Sign petitions and try to decipher legalese.  Bummer!

     I have been a Bronco fan for a long time.  Pretty odd when you consider that of all the places I have lived, Denver was a short time.  But, John Elway came to town while I was there and I was already going to be a lifelong fan  :D

Here I am within spitting distance of two pretty good teams in Baltimore and Philadelphia and I just don't care.  I have tried to follow the Eagles but they are even more frustrating than being a Denver fan.  I was kind of happy to see a team in Baltimore, then they got Shannon and I hated them.  Yeah, it was love/hate, I did like getting to see him play regularly.

DSC00282 (via mcwhom)

      I spent years glued to ESPN trying to get an update on the Broncos, I bought the USA Today on Monday so I could get the bigger coverage on the weekends NFL action.   Talk about starving for info.  The funny part of that is I am not sure I really know anymore than I did then.  How much of what I know is mis information?  LOL

DSC00281 (via mcwhom)

      I wore that hat on the left for years, just got the one on the right this year (thanks Dad) on my trip, and that is the top to my sweatsuit behind them.  Just can't bring myself to get rid of the hat and I am afraid to wash it  :P  There have been many great debates and conversations out here due to my team.  For the first decade it was ALWAYS about John Elway.  The level of hate out here for him makes the ire felt in Denver for Cutler seems like mild distaste.  That has faded a lot over the years, helped greatly by the move the Browns made to become the Ravens.

How sad is this?  My Mother-in-law's friend (boyfriend) found this somewhere and bought it for me.  I know he probably paid a buck for it.  What did I do?   Naturally I hung it on my wall  ;D  I guess I know I am a fan when all I have to do is say the Broncos are on TV this weekend and I am not expected to show up for any event or be anywhere but in front of the TV.

   Happy Days there!!  Yes Sir!   Going to three Superbowls and losing was painful.  Even so, I would always say, "I would rather be in the game and lose".  I stuck by that, being proud of my team for being good enough to get there.  How could you not be with those wins over Cleveland.  To get through those two playoff games in such spectacular fashion left me feeling like our team could win any game at any time.   I really have to wonder sometimes if Dan Reeve's didn't secretly bring high school players to those games while the real players partied in the hotel.

I've had this key fob in my pocket for almost 30 years.  Maybe I should be buried with it.  While I was in Denver I bought a really cheap old Datsun.... ok, Nissan....  But it was a Datsun B210, ugly faded orange.  We had just lost our first Superbowl with John and I was still young and silly.  As the season came closer I took a can of blue spray paint and painted a blue line down the middle of the car and a big blue  7 on the doors.  Of course that fall the car threw a rod and died.

     I would love to be a part of a boycott, but for all the things I have I don't really spend many dollars on the team.  I would not make much impact.  Even not watching the game would not show up.  I have signed two petitions so my name is out there.  I Want Football!  It is just a pass time and I could find another one, but I have been watching football as long as I can remember.  I am a fan of the NFL because my Father is a fan of the NFL.  My Dad would get a black and white tv, put it on top of our floor model tv and have both games on.  Sundays were football, period.  If the Cowboys were on, you shut up and watched.  That is how the Broncos are for me now.  We also have picture in picture and the internet for following all the games.  I have not watched Comcast's redzone but everyone I know that has loved it.

What am I going on and on about?  What is the point of a fluffy nonsensical posting?  I really don't know, except that I am tired of the same old debates.  I hate seeing fanposts that have been up for 7 days, or longer.   I hate this work stoppage.  I Want Football.

I would love to hear/read what the Broncos mean to you.  Oh, and I do have lots more Broncos stuff but I figured I posted enough pics :D

Good morning to all and Happy Memorial Day.

     Had a good day of racing yesterday with two fantastic finishes.  I feel bad for the rookie at Indy but I know one mistake he won't make again.

     I have a question about how these cars are built.  From Kimi Rikonen (sp?) to drivers pouring bottles of water down their suits, heat was a big story.  I remember watching Ricky Rudd climb out of his car and fall to the ground exhausted and suffering from heat stroke but happy to have won.  Sorry Terry but that is an Iron Man!  So, let's jump.

     Sunday morning, got my coffee, waking up.  What's this?  A Redskins QB controversy?  Hmm, still questions in Denver, at least for the fan base.  What will our Broncos look like if we have a season to play?  We can't even answer that!  We have FA to go through and no idea when or even if that will happen.  The Bronco organization has made some very good moves in 2011, our team seems to be moving in the right direction.  It seems most of the fans are happy with the draft, most are only scratching heads over one pick.  Not bad considering our last few drafts.

Jump with me and find out why I insist on bringing up our QB's again.

Good Morning and welcome

Just a little headline hunting to get the juices flowing.  If you saw a good story I didn't find please add it in the comments 'cause I want to read it too  :D

Jump on into the News:

Hello fellow Broncos fans.  The QB issue always has us going but we have had some good conversations on other topics in here lately and I have been scanning posts looking for the updates.. Yes, I have no life  :)

So I had a thought and figure why not try it and see what Jumps.................

I am not sure how well this will work out but I have been missing the trax.  So, I am going to attempt to post some news links.

     I know what you are thinking, if you even clicked on this.   No, I don't want to debate Tebow or Orton anymore either.  Instead I want to talk about our number two position.  Tebow starts, Orton traded, Quinn #2.........  Orton starts, Tebow traded, Quinn #2........ Quinn at #3, I know the third string QB is the last thing most fans think about but after the jump, that is what I want to do.

Good Morning fellow fans.  Welcome to Conference Championship Sunday.  Should be a great day of football.  My picks are Green Bay over Chicago in a close and very cold game, and Steelers stomp Jets in a very cold game.   These should be fun defensive battles in challenging weather.

I am not going to try and pick players here.  There are lots of mocks out there and frankly I don't follow college at all.  Ok, ready for this?    Let's jump
