MHR Contest!
Fellow Bronco fans, I have a proposal.
Recently I e-mailed a few of my fellow MHR friends with a proposal. You see, the offseason is coming up and Guru has a lot of major surprises in store for the members. I'm not supposed to share anything, but I can tell you that when the regular season ends you won't want to go anywhere. There will be a lot here to keep you engaged, excited, and entertained during the offseason.
There's just one problem.
It's the ugly word "offseason". Sirius NFL radio personality Adam Schein is famous for saying, "There is no such thing as an offseason". I agree with him. "Offseason" makes it sound like there is nothing to look forward to. So I proposed to a few friends that we look into coming up with a better word (or short phrase) to replace "offseason".
Here's my idea. I would like to get the thoughts of everyone in the MHR family for the best word or short phrase to replace "offseason". I'll be responsible for keeping track of all of the ideas put forward in the comments section, as well as suggestions put forward in future posts if need be. I'll turn the list over to Guru, our leader. Guru can decide on how the comments will be judged. He might do it himself, he might involve the members with front page posting privleges, or he might open up a poll to the membership with the final candidates. We haven't hashed that out. This is just an informal contest at this stage.
But I want to sweeten the deal because I appreciate any participation in this matter. I have an idea for a reward for the winner, and while it is within my meager budget I hope the winner would enjoy having it. I hope that sparks some creative thinking!
[UPDATE! Our good friend Styg50 has offered to chip in another prize to the reward pot! How about it gang; two prizes for one contest! Keep your great ideas flowing in! Thanks also to Styg50 for his generous offer!]
The winner will also receive a Broncos skull cap, just like the one you see on the sidelines!!! -- TSG

Thanks for getting this up HT
- "On"-season! (so simple it might just be stupid!)
- Reseason....uh-huh...right. Like poultry or what?
- The "other" season.
- "No-time-off-season"
- Irregular season. (Get that season some dulcolax!)
- Pre-preseason. Or post-postseason. Or post-pre-postseason. Or...
- The "money" season.
- "Fourth" season (or "First" season if you prefer)
- In-season. Ripe. Tasty. Get it by the bushel.
- And you wonder why we need help thinking of something...

How about

Here is another
or
"Countdown to Kickoff"
Either one could feature a countdown timer, and both give a sense of "Get ready, something's coming!"
(There is a countdown timer on daliy norseman that you might be able to borrow...)

"desk-season"
"managing-season"
"Rumorseason"
"finally-i-have-time-to-do-homework-season"
"easy-season" (just because it has a nice flow)

For me it is the
The Dan Synder spends billions period
Kiper is on my TV too much time
Where the hell is my NFL Europe period
or
The draft and season preview buying time
Everybody keep it up!
A special thanks to our newer members for jumping in on the contest as well. We're getting some great stuff from everyone!
hmmm
"Now what the heck am I supposed to do???"
"Signing season"
"Fixing the lines time"
"Getting surgeries season"
"Bowlen Check Writing Season"
"Everyone's still a contender for the Superbowl Season" or it's cousin "We're gonna win it all this year season"
Hey Darin!
I hope you have a good time hanging out at MHR, and look forward to any write-ups you might have. It's a great family over here!

My ideas arn't great, but
"Next Year is Here"
"Football Hot Stove"
"Season of the Fan"
Preferably, I don't think "Season" should be a part off our renaming.
"Rumor Time"
"Improvement Time"
"Reloadin' the 6-Shooter Time"
I don't know. We need a lot of brainstorming.
the only one i can think of is...
hmmmm
"Probation" - Let's be honest, most of the thugs in the league are going to be put on probation in the off-season any ways.
"FEBTEMBER" - This is my best entry I think... how better to describe the time from superbowl (February) to preseason games (September)?
"Tany" - There's Always Next Year, alternatively, Tany Time
"Time to figure out how high we want to trade up in the draft even if we could have gotten our player where we were at, time" - speaks for itself
