Denver Broncos: 2011 Broncos Soundtrack
These days, no news means bad news. Or in the case of the NFL lockout, is it the other way around?
By now, you've probably picked up on the eerie silence caused by the bad news that professional football might cease to exist in 2011.
Things are pretty quiet compared to the way they usually are around this time of year. Usually, there's a euphoric marriage of news coverage concerning the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Finals, and, oh sweet mama, imminent NFL minicamps—all intertwined in a single two-week period of sports bliss.
But alas, this year things are silent.
That silence is pretty hard to deal with, if you ask me. It's hard not to daydream about what could be—our favorite NFL players would be getting ready to lace up for training camp right about now. Yet, here we are, us deprived fans. Stuck with this unconventional lack of football.
How about the players we know and love, though? What are they doing?
As you may already know, Denver Broncos safety David Bruton is making $90 per day as a substitute teacher in his hometown of Miamisburg, Ohio.
Tim Tebow and Joe Mays have been hitting the weight room, apparently working on their arms. (Google it for yourself.)
Perhaps the most interesting of all the stories of "time-killing" reported over the last few months has been Brandon Lloyd's.
Do me a favor and go back to the top of this page.
Seriously, stop reading for a second.
Take a look at the picture at the top. Seems like some random rapper, right? Take a closer look at the name tag. Try and figure out who that is, if you don't already know. I'll be impressed if you can read that small mechanic-shirt lettering.
Here's a hint:
Shakin' DB's and Makin' CD's.
That's right, our very own Brandon Lloyd has turned to rap to soothe his boredom. Mind you, rap has been a hobby of Lloyd's for quite some time now. Several videos strewn about YouTube show Lloyd freestyle rapping and talking about his musical roots as far back as 2006, long before Lloyd was a success story. Lloyd takes his rap so seriously, he considers it a second career.
Now that we're on the subject of music, consider what's been eating at your football-loving soul for the past few months: You really don't have a lot to keep yourself distracted from football, or a lack thereof, do you?
One thing we can all turn to, whether young or old, Broncos fan or Raiders fan, is music. So, what better way to talk Broncos football than to put a somewhat fitting spin on the current situation? No better way.
Let's start by asking this question to ourselves:

Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
