Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

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
I will add a little something to sweeten that pot too, a little something I like to call "random item off styg50's desk."  Honestly, I've been trying to get rid of the stuff on my desk for a few months now, but nobody seems to be biting.  I can't imagine what the problem is...
  1.  "On"-season!  (so simple it might just be stupid!)
  2.  Reseason....uh-huh...right.   Like poultry or what?  
  3.  The "other" season.
  4.  "No-time-off-season"
  5.  Irregular season.  (Get that season some dulcolax!)
  6.  Pre-preseason.  Or post-postseason.  Or post-pre-postseason.  Or...
  7.  The "money" season.
  8.  "Fourth" season (or "First" season if you prefer)
  9.  In-season.  Ripe.  Tasty.  Get it by the bushel.
  10.  And you wonder why we need help thinking of something...

Future Forward:  The MHR offseason experience

by beegirl on Dec 29, 2007 3:58 AM MST reply actions  

Here is another
"249 days of offseason"

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...)

Great ideas gang! Keep 'em coming!
How about the "Rearming Season"?

Great Ideas!!!
When we have a good sample I will put a poll on the main page....That will determine the winner....

by John Bena on Dec 29, 2007 9:09 AM MST reply actions  

Hmm:
"un-on-season" - or just "un-season" or "non-season"

"i-can't-remember-what-pigskin-fells-like-season"

"i-can't-wait-for-september-season"

"hope-season" or "Dreamseason" - with reference to this onseason, where the hopes and dreams of the offseason got smashed every sunday

"desk-season"

"managing-season"

"Rumorseason"

"finally-i-have-time-to-do-homework-season"

"easy-season" (just because it has a nice flow)

"CDS-season" (Cut, draft'n sign)

"signingseason"

"$-season"

"cap-season"

... and so on

From Denmark, so i excuse my self for un-knowing-ness...

by Claaaaas on Dec 29, 2007 9:23 AM MST reply actions

New ideas
As a new member recently I've learned so much and enjoy all the insight given on here by HT, Guru, and everyone else. How about calling it the Bronco's Corral/Bronco's Ranch, by that I mean we are in the off-season and back at the corral/ranch preparing for next year.

by matelin70 on Dec 29, 2007 10:07 AM MST reply actions  

Welcome Matelin!!
Glad to have you!  Good Idea...We'll add it to the list!

by John Bena on Dec 29, 2007 11:32 AM MST up reply actions  

I like this one too
I can already see the "Meanwhile, back at the Ranch..." segments.

by Jeremy Bolander on Dec 29, 2007 1:37 PM MST up reply actions  

Hmm, I'll have to think about those
Being a dedicated two-sport fan (GO ROCKIES!) I DO have something to look forward to even when it's no longer football season. Have to get back with one...

Fan-season.
You know, the regular season is for the players, but the offseason is for the fans.

So Fan-season OR Fan's Season.

Orange County is hot. Really! Haven't you seen the weather report?

by amirebram on Dec 29, 2007 2:19 PM MST reply actions  

For me it is the
Time of mourning.

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

Go Bronocs

Everybody keep it up!
Three prizes in the pot now, and lot's of terrific ideas!

A special thanks to our newer members for jumping in on the contest as well.  We're getting some great stuff from everyone!

hmmm
How about...

"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!
Great to see you make it to the site!  (Darin's a friend of mine from another non-sports site, and a solid Broncos fan).

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
I'll give it a wing.

"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...
Hibernation...sleep in the winter, bring in new cubs in the spring (draft picks) and load up for the new season.
Hearts were broken in Chicago...Balls taken in Oakland...Coffins nailed in Houston...Belch!

by mdierk on Dec 31, 2007 4:04 PM MST reply actions  

hmmmm
"Purgatory" - What better description of an in between time?

"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
