I know!! I loved the Chris Chambers one!That was GREAT!!!
First of all - I hate Reggie Rivers. I have had the misfortune to meet him in person and he has a very smug, i am holier than thou attitude. he also gets paid outrageous amounts of money for personal appearances. This is local news regarding a poker club that was busted and he just happened to belong to. He claims he did not know it was illegal to gamble in Denver. His excuses just make him look like a bigger douche...

Fantastic. Another role model for the youth of Colorado. The Broncos (and apparently ex-Broncos) are taking a beating this year. Time for Pat Bowlen to hire a better PR firm.
Come home Shanny, we hardly knew ye...
Exactly what I was thinking.
Awesome!!

NO KIDDING!!! Maybe McDaniels will do something right instead of canning our franchise QB.

Why do I feel the Broncos are soooo going to suck next season? Between a new coach, who's still wet behind the ears, and a quarterback, who needs to have his diaper changed, maybe Mile High Stadium's sponsor needs to now be Huggies or Pampers. This looks like it's going to be worse to me, than when we were calling The Rockies "Todd Helton and the Toddlers"!
Of course, if this post is proven wrong and The Broncos actually DO make the playoffs next season, I will gladly eat my laptop for all of you to see!

No, I think you are dead on. This is the most uneasy I have felt about the Broncos since the days when Red Miller was coach. I too hope I am wrong. I am already missing the days of Shanahan.Why do I feel the Broncos are soooo going to suck next season?

Bugger me -- from bad to worse:
Cutler asks to be traded.
Renowned Death Hag
I was afraid that was going to happen.
this whole story is ridiculous. i do not use this word often but i think it warrants saying it...
Cutler is a pussy. he has no right to be demanding anything - he has not earned and he certainly does not deserve it. the more he stomps around and rolls on the ground the worse he is going to look in the eyes of not only bronco fans but ALL nfl fans. professional MEN do not behave that way. at own up and show your fucking face instead of hiding behind your butt-hurt feelings and words.

Jim Schwartz had finally put together a winning team for the Detroit Lions. The only thing missing was a top quality quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European leagues, but he couldn't find an arm who could ensure a championship season.
Then, one night while watching CNN, he saw a war-zone report from Afghanistan. In the background, he saw a young Afghani toss a hand-grenade straight into the 15th story window of a building at least 50 yards away. The same guy then threw another grenade right into a chimney even further away. And he finished by chucking one into the window of a Taliban car speeding off at nearly ninety miles per hour.
"I've got to get this guy!" the coach said to himself. "What an arm!" Eventually finding the soldier and bringing him to the United States he teaches the boy the game of football, puts him in charge of the Lions' offense and watches as the team goes on to win the Super Bowl that year. The young quarterback is hailed as one of the NFL's greatest marvels.
After the game the young man telephones his mother. "Mother," he says into the phone, "I have just won the American Super Bowl!"
"I don't want to talk to you," replies the old Muslim woman. "You deserted us. You are not my son!"
"I don't think you understand," the young man pleads. "I have just won the greatest team sporting event in the world. Millions of people think well of me."
"No! YOU do not understand!" his mother retorts. "While you play a game, your father has no work. At this very moment there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Yesterday your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives. And I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!"
The old lady pauses and tearfully adds, "I will never forgive you for making us move to Detroit!"

I was wondering if this was going to happen. I can't say as I blame Cutler. So do Bronco fans think McDaniel has mis-handled this situation or is Cutler being overly sensitive? From an outsiders perspective it looks like McDaniel has screwed this up from the start and appears to have very little interest in retaining Cutler's services.

Brown's wide receiver Donte Stallworth struck and killed 59 year old Mario Reyes with his car last Saturday. Miami police will not confirm that Stallworth was drunk at the time of the accident, saying only that they expect the results of a toxicology report today (Friday, March 20). A local televison station is reporting that Stallworth's blood alcohol level was .12, legally drunk in Florida is .08.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3997609
I hadn't heard about the toxicology reports. I heard the accident occurred at 7 am? He was drunk?
Renowned Death Hag
This is from an AP report released about a half hour or so ago:
Stallworth hired Lyons just yesterday. For the record Lyons is a former Miami prosecutor.MIAMI (AP) â?? Authorities have yet to release blood tests for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth, who authorities say fatally struck a pedestrian in Miami Beach a week ago.
Meanwhile, his attorney is denying media reports that the tests show Stallworth was driving drunk.
Christopher Lyons said Saturday that neither police nor the state attorney's office have released the results of toxicology tests. They have not said specifically when they will be released.
The Miami Herald and local TV news, citing unnamed people, have reported that Stallworth's blood-alcohol level was above Florida's legal limit.
A Miami Beach police spokesman says the blood test results won't be released until the investigation is closed.
Stallworth hasn't been charged.

I think McDaniel has mis-handled this from "jump".I'm a Bronco fan hell or high water but, with all of the off season bullshit, firings and double talk going on, I am counting down to team implosion. JMHO

Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats was stopped and detained while rushing to a hospital to see his dying mother-in-law.

That story angers me beyond belief!!!!!Two family members didn't even make it into the Hospital to say their "goodbyes" due to the more than 13 minutes of "detention" by this officer... Mr. "To Serve and Protect"
....
After reading the transcript of the actual conversation between Moats and the officer... I'm even more pissed...how can a human being be so indifferent to another in such a situation? My eloquence is out the window at this point and only one word comes to mind.... asshole....

My first thought about Cutler was that he'd go to the Jets.
Renowned Death Hag
Cutler to da Bears!!!
Love it! LMAO!
Renowned Death Hag
LOL! Got to be better than Sexy Rexy! I will miss Kyle Orton though. Hey! I've lived through TO and the Eagles, I can handle some EMO vs. some EGO!
Senior Death Hag
I'm kinda shocked that they gave up on Kyle Orton...I really thought he was starting to get somewhere before his ankle injury...all the best to his career with the Broncos...
As for Cutler with the Bears...here's hoping he has a new attitude and a fresh start...at least he will be familiar with the Blue and Orange colors!!! The Bears definitely needed some new life on offense no matter who the QB would be...now what to do about Grossman????!!!! Hmmmmmm????
Renowned Death Hag
I'm guessing they tried to trade Grossman and Denver wouldn't have him. I hope Kyle does well with the Bronco's - he's definitely got potential. I may have to invest in NFL network this year to follow some of these guys. Or just hang out here again and you keep me posted!
AAAGHHH! Is there anything more frustrating than being a Bears fan? Captain Neckbeard looked great before the injury. Two things happened...Kyle grew up a little, and Lovie let them open up the offense a bit. I was really looking forward to a full season with a healthy Kyle Orton, believe it or not. Now we get...the new Jeff George. Great talent, major head case. HA! I made a joke! We go from Captain Neckbeard to Major Headcase! As long as SexyRexy stays on the bench!
Renowned Death Hag
Being a Saints fan? At least the Bears have won a Lombardi trophy.

Well one of the things the Bears get is a guy that throws the ball down the field. Cutler had 55 throws of over 20 yards (2nd in the league, Orton was 20th with 34 throws over 20 yards) and 7 throws over 40 yards which was middle of the pack with guys like Peyton Manning, Ben Rothlisberger and Matt Cassel. Orton was near the bottom with only three throws over 40 yards.
In Denver, Cutler had the 12th best rushing attack in the league (4.8 yards per carry and 116.4 yards per game, using a never ending carousel of backs) and was sacked only 11 times, 2nd best in the league. In other words the Broncos could run the ball and they protected the quarterback. Add to that the fact that the Broncos had no defense which helps to explain why Cutler put the ball in the air 38.8 times per game, third highest in the league.
Conversely, in Chicago, Orton was the 12th most sacked QB in the league (27 times Orton was sacked, oddly Matt Cassel was the most sacked QB) and the Bears running game ranked 24th in the league at 3.9 yards per carry and 104.6 yards per game, and this was with Matt Forte! And despite their reputation, the Bear's defense was not a lot better than the Broncos (the Bears ranked 21st in the league in total defense the Broncos ranked 29th).
One thing Orton and Cutler both have in common is they both are pretty good at protecting the ball.
Cutler last year threw an interception once in every 34 attempts while Orton threw an interception once very 39 attempts. For their careers Cutler throws an interception once in every 32.9 attempts while Orton throws an interception once in every 33.8 attempts. Cutler in his career has fumbled the ball once in every 83.3 times he touches the ball, Orton has fumbled once every 96.6 times he touches the ball.
Cutler's first two years in the league he rushed for over 200 yards each season, but last year only ran 12 times for 18 yards. Orton has never been much of a runner but last year he took off a career high 24 times for 44 yards.
With Cutler, the Bears get a durable QB who has not missed a single regular season start since he became the Broncos starting QB (37 games) but has a 17-20 record as a starter.
With Orton, the Broncos get a pretty durable QB, who has a 21-12 record as a starter.
It should be interesting. The Broncos historically have employed an aggressive passing attack, but now they have a new coach and a new QB and the former coach could plug in pretty much anybody who was ambulatory and muster some sort of a running game.
The Bears on the other hand have historically employed a more conservative passing attack now they have a more aggressive type of QB.
My feeling is the Bears were the better of the two teams but only slightly and Jay Cutler alone will not lead them to the promised land.

Have no fear, Chicago Bears fans. If past Colorado sports history is any indication of how Jay Cutler is going to work out for you, The Bears will win the Super Bowl next season.
Colorado has a history of trading players, from most of our sports teams, who turn out to do even better for the teams that they go to.
Examples are : Andres Gallaraga (Rockies), Bret Saberhagen (Rockies), Clinton Portis (Broncos), Brian Griese (Broncos), Gus Frerotte (Broncos), Jason Elam (Broncos), and any goalie from the Avalanche, traded while Roy was the starter!
I guess that also applies to coaches too. Colorado Avalanche got rid of Joel Quenneville this season. He now coaches the Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago's going to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Colorado is having the worst season in the team's franchise history. Nice going Avalanche!

I love the enthusiasm about the trade...no matter what the end result is...sometimes just changing things up makes the whole game a whole lot more interesting.
On a completely different note...is it just me or does Kyle Orton look an awful lot like Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and formerly of Nirvana??? I should find some photos for comparison...I like "Captain Neckbeard" as a nickname!!!

Kyle Orton... my new favorite QB. It will be a blessed relief from all of the drama. Number 8 already has exhibited more class than number 6 ever did. Good luck Chicago fans... I mean that. Hopefully he (Cutler) will mature more in Chi-town than he ever did in Denver. Cutler and McDaniels are both losers in my book.
Either way and regardless... I still love my Broncos. I hope it all works out in the end.
Renowned Death Hag
You'll love Kyle Orton. da Bears will miss him, but a fresh QB is needed as is a fresh start for Cutler. Hopefully Cutler has come away with thicker skin (although it doesn't sound like it). Lord if McNabb left when rumors started about trading him, he'd have been gone from Philly years ago.
I hope your Broncos do well too!
