Denver Broncos Face Tough Schedule in Quest for Playoff Return

Let's take a look back: It's the end of the 2008 season. Mike Shanahan fired. Jay Cutler traded for Kyle Orton and picks. A defense in shambles, having allowed 28 points per game...

Broncos Stand 2-0 after Defense-Led Home-Opening Win over Browns

After a 2008 season that started as an inferno, and ended colder than an Antarctic winter, Broncos fans have learned that guarded optimism is a way of life in the post-Mike Shanahan/Jay Cutler era...

Jim Rice Heads to Hall of Fame: Voters Finally Got It Right

You'll be hard-pressed to find a Yankee fan willing to say positive things about the Red Sox. Any Red Sox. Present or past. That's just the way it is...

Marian Gaborik: Possible Surgery May Spell the End in Minnesota

They say in life, two things are inevitable: death and taxes. In hockey, those two inevitabilities were that injuries will befall both Peter Forsberg and Saku Koivu...

Vikings-Eagles TV Blackout: If It Happens, Who Benefits?

The Vikings still must sell over 3,000 tickets by Saturday at 4:30pm Eastern for their Sunday playoff game versus the Eagles. A television blackout looms, unless Minnesota can fill those seats...

Pro Athletes and Domestic Violence

The recent allegations and videotape that appears to show Brian Giles physically harming his former girlfriend is yet another in an exceedingly long line of publicized incidents involving pro athletes and their significant others...

Terrell Davis: Hall of Famer?

Terrell Davis' last game in the NFL was in 2001, after which he walked away from a game he dominated. It was a brilliant but abbreviated career cut short by injury. The question bears asking once again: Is T...

The End of an Era in Denver: Broncos Part Ways with Mike Shanahan

In a move that surprised many, the Broncos fired their coach of 14 seasons Mike Shanahan, yesterday. Shanahan is the last link to the Broncos' glory years, which included their back-to-back Super Bowl titles during the 1997 and 1998 seasons...

Time to Minimize the Importance of the NHL Shootout

I'll put it out front that I'm old school. Never liked the shootout, never will. I do understand, however, that it's likely here to stay. There's an unattractive aspect to the tie and a lack of finality that paying fans deserve to resolve...

Claude Lemieux Returning to New Jersey?

Now that I have your attention—no, this headline is not entirely what it appears to be. In case you haven't heard the news, the San Jose Sharks signed the 43-year-old, who is looking to ...

Bowling Deserves More Attention in Sporting World

As an avid bowler, I've always wondered why the popularity of the sport has waned from its heyday in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. Bowling is an activity enjoyed recreationally and competitively, by young and old, without any restrictions on weather...

Flawed NFL playoff system Needs Revision

Writer's note: I'll preface the article by noting that this in no way is an anti-Chargers rhetoric. Had Denver won Sunday night they still would not have belonged in the playoffs within a just system...

Denver Broncos Defense Truly Offensive

As this article is being authored, the Broncos-Chargers game is not technically over, but in all aspects it is—down 24 points in the fourth, and with one San Diego punt in the game, no sense waiting for the final gun to put "pen to paper...

Broncos Sign Sammy Winder, Gerald Willhite to the Practice Squad

In preparation for the inevitable injury to Tatum Bell and at least one other newly-signed-from-practice-squad running back in tonight's pivotal Broncos-Chargers Week 17 match-up, Denver has reportedly signed veteran RB's Sammy Winder and Gerald Willhite

New Jersey Is One Devil of a Team

It has long been said by NHL naysayers that the Devils' success over the past decade and a half has been all about Martin Brodeur and not so much the other 19 guys on the ice...

Broncos-Chargers: Thoughts on Sunday Play-in Game

I'm excited for Sunday night's "it should never have come to this" game in San Diego. Making the playoffs, even if it's only a formality, would be a good achievement for a team that has been absent from the postseason recently...

Broncos hapless Monday Night -- nothing has changed from 2007

One can make a lot of excuses for last night's drubbing in Foxboro. Blame Jay Cutler's first-pass finger-smash against a helmet that rendered him largely ineffective. Blame Andre Hall's killer fumbles as Denver tried to impose a road lead early...

Broncos' Early Season Thin Ice: 2007 Redux?

The first three games of 2008 seem strikingly similar to the first three of 2007 in many ways. 2007 was a season that began with excitement and promise, and then turned ugly in a hurry...

Broncos Sparkle, Frustrate, Mystify and Expose One Of NFL'S Myriad Rule Gaps

Let's be honest. It was a fumble. You don't need me to tell you. You have eyes. Before I get to the game itself, let's touch upon the fundamental problem with the NFL game. Simply too many rules and stipulations...

Reasons to Smile.........

As a Broncos fan, Monday night's season-opening road win against the Raiders is about as nice as it gets. A hated division opponent knocked off in their own building. Al Davis sitting helpless, hapless like his club...
