Who gives a crap what Josh McDaniels had to do with “Spygate?” Why has this just question now become column-worthy? If it mattered, shouldn’t it have been piled on to the rest of the “who-the-hell-is-this-kid?” stuff that was written when he was hired?

I’m not a journalist or anything, of course. There may be some high-minded concept I am missing here, because I’m just some Simple Simon analyst who watches game video. Do they teach you in journalism school to sit on “concerns” over widely-reported events which happened a few years in the past, which may or may not have involved the subject, and whose only functional purpose is to cast aspersions upon said subject? Is this concept of highfalutin journalism called the Slow News Day principle, maybe?

Thanks for all you do Doug. I personally like your blurbs the best of all.

catch my eye. Makes me laugh, makes my day. I go back through the rest " If " I have time.
I voted (disappeared )

to how much time it must take you to pull all of this together, I do appreciate the options on AFC west news, and usually read about half of it. If it means an easier job for you, I wouldn’t miss the options, but it’s nice to have them.

I could have done without the Broncos-Ravens recap thuough. ouch!

I will trust you to adapt Horse Tracks as you see fit and enjoy it. I like the AFC News. I think the Opinion stuff could be shortened but, again I trust your judgement. Also, I don’t care for the Power Rankings as they don’t make a difference to my thinking. Kind of like, I don’t care much for a lot of those opinions over my own. I really like having the options laid out and like Ted stated, the blurbs make my morning. Consider Horse Tracks Rec’d ad infinitum.

Today’s version is an abbreviated Horse Tracks? Could have fooled me.

Just remember, the shorter you make it the easier for Bill Williamson to plagiarize.

I vote shorter, just so long as you keep links to the AFC West and our upcoming opponent.

Jerome Bettis’s piece about Cutler’s trash talking is one sided. Rob and Rex Ryan both love to run their mouths (i.e. Channing Crowder vs. the Rex Ryan this offseason). Considering Miami pinned two losses on the Jets and Chicago put a beat down on Cleveland, maybe the Ryan boys should learn to shut their fat pie holes once in a blue moon. The Ryan boys love to talk endless smack, but they do jack squat to back it up.

Cutler is not the kind of guy to walk away from a some chunky clown running his mouth. Jay’s not that mature. But like Channing Crowder, Jay got the better of the trash talking feud.

To be honest, I don’t really read anything that doesn’t have to do with the Broncos. Only time I read anything from the Options is when a Bronco is mentioned. I don’t have the time to read through everything about the NFL during work, but I MUST catch up on anything Bronco.

Make your work as easy as you want, most of these links are on our favorites anyway. Thanks for the effort.

I read all the headlines and the blurbs you write, thats what gets my attention. Its great that you do the Tracks everyday for all of us. You take time out of your day to get us the news, we all thank you so much. You do whats best for you and the Tracks, you wont hear any complaining.

First I hope that Orton’s ankle is minor and won’t affect him too much. I know after the Ravens’ game we will prepare for the no huddle by the Steelers, however how about our no huddle offense? I think using that could help us out as well. Come on McDaniels, you gotta have something up your sleeve for the Steelers.

.

I appreciate it every day!

Love the blurbs, those are usually the first thing I read.

I am not unhappy about Darius Walker being cut. I am happy Carlton Powell is getting another chance. Sorry to hear about Everette Pedescleaux.

Tale of the Tape:

• Lance Ball – Height: 5-9 Weight: 220 Age: 24 (originally UDFA Rams, also on Colts and Titans)
• Darius Walker – Height: 5-11 Weight: 205 Age: 24 (originally UDFA Texans)

Looks to me like Lance Ball is a bowling ball type runner given his height and weight.

Found this on YouTube. Broncos vs Chiefs on Monday night Football in 1994. A shootout game, fun to watch. But what also stood out, I’d forgotten what a weak backfield Denver had that year. Glyn Milburn and Leonard Russell?

Makes me appreciate having Knowshon and Buck this year and some of the guys we’ve had over the last ten years.

(PS the continuation parts of that game are linked on the YouTube right side.)

I’ll give my two cents here……I love all the Broncs stuff. I don’t read too much of the AFC West stuff, but I do enjoy reading the headlines to get a feel for storylines. Your comments always play an important role in directing me to an article. For the weekly opponent, I will only read something if it addresses their attitude, a coaches attitude, or some quality/deficiency of the team I am interested in. Most of the player moves and other facts I avoid.

As for the other stuff, I am really grateful for you links. I end up reading almost all the Bronco news and then several selected columnists who I would never catch if you did not post the link. For instance, Lombardi and Bettis, I love their articles and insights. Never would have found ’em w/o you. I also like B.Simmons of ESPN page 2 who I found through Tracks. These guys especially and some others occasionally, I am extremely grateful to have a one-stop place to go.

If you wanted to cut down on the number of links, then I would recommend just picking one article from each outlet that addresses something more than just a transaction or injury. I feel like that news (transactional) can be found on any site (nfl.com, nationalfootballpost.com or profootballtalk) for those looking for that info. The insightful pieces (no, not Spygate and McD) should always get a post…..I hope! If you just post one to each outlet, then, if I’m in a serious searching mood, I know where to go for more info.

Kudos for all your work!

Thanks Doug. Here is my 2 cents.

I look for the Broncos news firstly, and I really would love it if you add more comments and even opinions on the articles. Which ones are good to read etc.

Secondly I really love the summary of Power Rankings. That is great.

The third most interesting to me would be the coming opponents, ecpecially articles where the Broncos are discussed by the “enemies” (both before and after the game). That give another perspective that I find refreshing sometimes.

Lastly I also look for general NFL news, maybe a little more focused towards AFC. Ofcourse you don’t want to miss “big stories” like the old one un-retiring again and such.

In summary, thanks a million!
