Broncos' Tebow has "good relationship" with Jets' Sanchez - The Denver Post
A different decision here, a change in judgment there, and the intersecting lives of Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow might have been completely altered.
Kiszla: It's time to deal with agents' money mess - The Denver Post
Never let them see you cry, even if you're bleeding money. This code of silence is costing NFL players. Big time. They too often suffer financial pain quietly, while getting beat up by unscrupulous agents or shady advisers.
Woody's Mailbag: I give the Broncos a "huncher's" chance against Jets - The Denver Post
Woody: Before the season, in your column predicting the Broncos' 2010 results, you wrote that you thought Denver would upset the New York Jets (17-13). Now that the season is five weeks old, and with the Jets flying into town this week, do you still agree with that assessment? You're definitely on a roll. You have only missed one game so far (Titans 21, Broncos 20). I hope your streak continues on Sunday, and I pray that you're wrong in the upcoming games where you predict a Broncos loss!
Broncos won't cry about injury woes - The Denver Post

Analysis: Jets have just the weapon to hurt a short-handed defense - The Denver Post

Q&A: Broncos weighed decisions on cornerbacks Bailey, Smith - The Denver Post
Q: Alphonso Smith is starting to look like a steal for Detroit. Wouldn't it have been prudent for the Broncos to pull Champ Bailey's contract offer before Brian Xanders and Josh McDaniels decided that Smith was expendable? Surely the likelihood of losing Bailey would have played into that calculation.
Streaking Jets have Broncos' McDaniels prepping for challenge - The Denver Post
Josh McDaniels had nothing but positive things to say Wednesday about the New York Jets as the Broncos begin their on-field preparations for Sunday's game at Invesco Field at Mile High.
NFL Game Center: New York Jets at Denver Broncos - 2010 Week 6
The Broncos' high-flying offense gets a dose of a blue-collar, uber-physical defense for a second straight week. Not a good matchup for them.
Merriman's Chargers days appear over - The Denver Post
tside linebacker Shawne Merriman, once one of the most-feared players in the NFL, was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday with a calf injury and a "minor-injury designation."

How I See It: AFC West Stock Watch - AFC West Blog - ESPN
FALLING 1. Steve Crosby, special teams coach, San Diego Chargers: San Diego head coach Norv Turner has said Crosby will not be fired because of his unit's follies and the issues may not all be Crosby's fault, but the truth is, his unit is killing the Chargers. Despite the fact that San Diego is the No. 1-ranked offense and No. 2-ranked defense in the NFL, it is 2-3. The reason: San Diego has allowed 30 points on special teams in three losses. It's getting ridiculous, especially after Sunday's performance in which Oakland scored nine points on two blocked punts in the first five minutes of the game.
Brett Favre would consider sitting if elbow worsens - ESPN
With the NFL investigating whether he sent lewd photos of himself to a Jets game hostess while he played for New York in 2008, Favre said Wednesday that his cherished, league-record streak of 289 straight starts could be in danger if the pain in his right elbow gets any worse.

Chad Ochocinco hopes trash talk can improve his play - ESPN

Chicago Bears will start Jay Cutler at quarterback - ESPN Chicago
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler practiced Wednesday and he expects to start Sunday after missing a week with a concussion.
NFL.com news: Onside kick to open a game is rare, risky but can have payoff
On Sunday, during the first wave of games, we saw two different teams begin with an onside kick, almost at the same exact time. Since last season's Super Bowl when the Saints opened up the second half with one, the onside kick has been back en vogue, as teams are always looking for a way to steal a possession.

Agreement allows holdouts to report later - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
The NFL and the NFL Players Association have reached an agreement that keeps unsigned restricted free agent players Vincent Jackson(notes) and Logan Mankins(notes) from being forced to report to their teams by next Tuesday.

NFL owners, players digging in as work stoppage looms - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN
Blame the non-football vernacular on the league and its players union for being unable to reach a new collective bargaining agreement. And while not yet overshadowing the on-field product, the public propagation of such terms will only increase as both sides inch closer to a March work stoppage.

Thank you for the Horse Tracks!
Woody points out, a bit too often, that he does not select the questions from his mailbag.
Then he’s a jerk to poor little Michelle…. She had a valid (and observant) point, and he proceeds to point out his own ignorance on the subject, then tells her to get a life.
He should get ‘run out of town’, better yet, just run himself out, and they (DP) could hire any one of a good many members from right here at MHR to take his place, and it would work out better for everyone. Will justice and karma never come through? ;-J

No such thing as Karma.
You’d want to work for the DP? A paper that hired Kiszla? I wouldn’t be surprised if the DP paid their writers in corn dogs and acid tabs.

I'd work at the Post, no question
I’d pull a McDaniels and flush the DP of “character concern” players (writers), then start the push to get Us paid in Trident Layers, instead of the acid tabs. ( =

Not gonna say Kizla's great
But that was a stupid and unimportant question. Granted, it has some general interest. But you have to realize, and I know this because this is how my roommate is, this sort of thing is literally ALL THESE SORTS OF PEOPLE CARE ABOUT. I swear to god, my roommate dislikes McD because of what he wears. And that’s all she talks about. That sort of inanity should not be encouraged.

Very good point(s)
I personally think McD wears long sleeves so none of the players get jealous of his guns. ( ;

As freaked out as we are about the Jets, Woody is right that we have a good shot against them.
1. There offense isn’t exactly scary. Look no further than last week when they kicked a bazillion FGs against a not exactly good Minnesota D.
2. Revis is hurt. Cro sucks on his own (see Miami vs. NYJ). And we have 4 recievers that Cro can’t cover. Their only hope on passing D is blitzing us, so I expect a lot of 3 WR/2 TE or 2 WR/1RB/2TE packages to help against blitzes.
3. Sanchez isn’t going to beat us and won’t be able to take advantage of our current injury weakness in the secondary.
The way that they will beat us is to pound the ball. To me, the key to stopping this is getting Jamal Williams in on as many plays as possible, which means figuring out a way to get him rest in between drives. 3 and outs by our O will be absolutely killer this game, so we need to sustain drives which means no penalties or turnovers. I know this is always true, but I feel like it is even more so on this game for the reason I just mentioned. If we play like we did against the Seahawks (1 penalty, no turnovers) we’ll win. Making mistakes like we did against the Titans probably won’t cut it.

Cro is so overrated especially after Monday night
Moss basically only ran 1-3 different routes the whole game. Not that difficult to cover. I think Brandon Loyd is going to light him up. We always dominated him when he was in SD
At least our ST's isn't the worst in the league
LOL at you Chargers.

The Sports Agent Problem
Is a simple fix. And it doesn’t involve the BS that the Florida agent is suggesting. Seriously dude, why punish a kid who has no clue and goes to a school that really doesn’t have a system to help him effectively?
But, the fix is that the NFLPA require all sports agents to have accounting services for their clients. Treat the player like a business with actual book keeping records for all the money they spend. Require this for at least the first 3 years they play in the league, then provide an opt out for the player. This does 2 things. It creates a paper trail that the NFLPA can then use to catch and kick out the agents who are cheating their clients. And it gets the player through the initial part of their career where really they have too much to figure out anyway, adding financial work is a lot.
Since this has an added cost, let them have another 0.5% commission. With software now that cost will be offset by that additional commission.

Lol at the guy who even asked about a trade between Denver and Oakland for Darren McFadden!! Who is that guy, is he a broncos fan, and if so, where the hell has he been since the 70s?
