Head up to Telluride for the weekend if you get the chance.

Durango is great but Telluride is pretty hard to beat…

Now my question, did you plan your wedding to fall during regular season?

That was one condition of my wedding, couldn’t be during football season nor could it be the same weekend of the draft. Pretty funny story, my dad (on his 4th wedding) had it during the same time there was a Broncos pre-season game on, so at the reception her family got freaked out when our family was all huddled around a TV at the bar watching the game rather than at the reception. (Her family is from Ohio), Our answer was hey we have seen my dad get married before, but you got to have your priorities strait, Broncos over weddings every time, by the way my dad was at the bar with us.

Just a technical suggestion

for what it’s worth, but when you create a link you have a checkbox and a question, open a new window? If you’ve checked that, when a reader comes back to MHR after having clicked the link, he or she doesn’t have to wait for the MHR page to reload, since all he’s done is close the extra window with the original MHR
page waiting behind it. It would mean less waiting while going from link to link in Horse Tracks.

Agreed. I prefer a new window, and try to offer it for my readers.

Good call Spock.

But I like it

when it doesnt create a new window. I guess different strokes for different folks

somethings wrong, Trying to conquer these fears i thought were gone. And it's been so long, I'm dying to live in a world i don't belong

I always open links

with a right click, which gives the options of opening the window in a new tab in the browser. In fact, when I open my Opera browser, it is set to open all my Broncos news sources and internet mail accounts simultaneously. My last (and longest) stop is MHR, and I scroll through and open about ten links from the main MHR page, including comment threads and new fan posts. As I finish reading one I will open another one, and while it is loading I will read one of the previously opened windows. I keep the cycle up until I am out of new threads, at which time I close the windows down until I am down to the original MHR main page window.

I used to just click around until i had read everything, but the amount of content, and the fact that 99% of it is “must read” meant that I had to streamline the process.

They guy who wrote the Plummer article is an idiot

One of the reasons we are struggling is the fact that our running isn’t as good as it was during the time Plummer was playing. Also, did he forget Cutler is young and still improving along with the rest of our young team? We are rebuilding……give us some time.

While our defense isn’t really that good, it is our offense that deserves some of the blame for putting the defense in bad situations.

Plummer was very successful at winning in Denver and I enjoyed watching him play (despite the bonehead plays), however I wouldn’t change the switch to Cutler for anything.
