I'm sure I know!

You've seen the light and become the newest Bronco's fan????? :wink:

Yeah, have fun watching the dude sit on the bench for the next 2 years, before getting a bit of playing time and being released a year or so after McDaniels is shown the door.

This pick is worse than the Bronco's taking Maurice Clarrett. :lol: And I love it! :D

WTF are you talking about? I'm not a fan of any one person on the team. I'm a Bronco's fan, always have been, always will be. Good, bad or ugly, they are my team.

Oh yeah? Nice sig!

Other than play with myself until August, I don't really know what to do with myself from now until training camp opens. Minicamps took place and it's kind of like a tease before the pads are put on with ANY kinds of football news, esp in Pittsburgh (football related, not the offseason circus junk we got going on here.)

I've been busting since the middle of last season after that puke of a performance from my team in the middle half. After the NHL playoffs, it's long and dark. This basketball and baseball shit is kind of depressing and grows boring and old. It's almost like the same highlights YEAR in and YEAR out with the SAME teams getting national exposure and the same names being talked about throughout. It's like seeing mold on your ham sandwhich.

I mean, how many times do we need to see a home run on the top 10 fucking play on ESPN or a slam dunk? Lame. It's actually a sigh of relief seeing all of the World Cup coverage, atleast it's bearable for about 30 minutes. Bring on some football already.

Better get use to the early Tebow signing. He won't be in the league for more than 5 years! :lol:

I'm just busting your chops :wink: I'm actually eager to see what this kid got at the professional level. All eyes will certainly be on him. IMHO, I don't think he's NFL ready, nor will he ever at the quarterback position. The transition of speed and technicality is tremendous compared to College ball, but he seems like the type that can get it done even if he doesn't have the intangibles right away.

I think that the fact Coach McDaniel saw something there to take him 1st round says enough to make me believe Tebow may surprise a lot of people.

What you see is what you get with Tebow. Noone is denying his passion and heart for the game, as well as being a natural born leader, and that doesn't come easy for the NFL and ESP on coaches.

I see what you're saying but there is def more left to be desired here and I think getting him THAT early in the first round with all of the question marks coming in as a professional football player could come back to haunt Denver in the long haul if he doesn't mature into a drop back specimen. He really has tons of work to do and needs to put his nasty techniques and intangibles to rest at the pro level and develop new and improved ones.

After seeing him at Florida, I just can't picture him holding down a steady, traditional NFL ran offense with the nasty dudes across from him and the complexity of the defense's he's going to see.

It will be interesting though, might take awhile but I know I'll be watching 'em.

Thats definetly a more than fair enough statement! If the draft choice does backfire on Denver there will probably be a couple of Bronco honchos looking for new employment...

Bengals- Carson stating Chad needs to be here with the new system. Chad is here now after filming his new reality show and after Dancing with the FORMER or WANNEBE Stars . I think he has 2yrs left and is looking to the future. He is the best I have seen in this town and this year,I think he has help ! His answer is that he is as reliable as birth control = 99.9% . He never fails to entertain and cause a snicker.

pretty close...

WE saw tons of games in the Dome during its time... from 83 on... there was a time in the 90s after the strike that I stopped going, but we started going back about 2002. Saw the beginnings of Kirby, Hrbrek, Gaetti, Viola, Bruno, Mickey Hatcher, Gagne, Bruno, lombardozi... to the hiring of TK.. to the world series years of 87 and 91... DAMN they had some great teams but some really lousy ones right before that 87 year... worst place to watch baseball was that dome... before those guys grew up with Oliva, Killerbrew, Kaat, Carew, Hisle, Bostock... great memories...
