To MHR. The Staff. The Fans. The Cynics. And The Koolaiders.

I think you put into eloquent words what many of us have been feeling since the announcement that Doc and Doug would be stepping off the staff — I refuse to say “leaving” because I’m inclined to believe that we will see their comments (and maybe even the occasional post) from time to time.

rec’d for voicing my feelings

I regret that I have but one Rec to give to this post.

It’s a rec room in here…

We do all chime in here for rec-creation don’t we?

As a fellow member who arrived early last off-season, I can relate to your feelings very much so. I don’t have to type much in this comment because you already said almost everything I could say. I’m a kindred soul who (having got reeled in by Em’s tales from the sunny-side and other indepth articles) will definately miss those guys, and also continue to appreciate the rest of the bloggers here, and all the hard work they put in.

Not in person, but in a special way that is very difficult to explain. I know it is a lot of work to cover the articles and presses each and every week and hopfully they will comment and grace us with their presence ever so often…Thanks DB…

and remains the goal to this day. We may not always agree, but I can promise you, and I am sure I speak for the other contributors, that what I write are my honest feelings. Right, wrong, good or bad.

Thank you for this post, and thanks to all those who ‘get it’. You make it all worth while!

Go Broncos…Go MHR!!!

I completely agree with every single word you typed. This is the single greatest site on the Web and that’s why so many people have chosen to come to MHR on a daily basis. I’m not sure about the rest of you, but MHR is my homepage. I open up Google Chrome and there it is, staring right at me.

 It is very difficult to be on MHR and be disappointed by the content. It is a light in the darkness of the internet.

Like you, I will miss NYC and Doc. Their posts were always superlative and I feel like I know them, if only on MHR. Best of luck in resolving your problems and…

A giant rec!

What I appeciate about this sight is the research that goes into posts and I know NYC and Bear can’t be replaced but I hope that whoever is added to the staff puts as much heart into their work as the two. You have a tough act to fallow.

We are definitely family here…dysfunctional as any other sometimes, but family nonetheless. :)

What your post and all of the comments reflects is our desire to be a community. We are an incredibly diverse group who share a passion for the Broncos that only becomes more intense and tangible when we participate in MHR. For many of us it’s the first site to visit in the day and last site to check before bed. There is no replacing members like Doug and Em, they can only be succeeded, but the standard they have set raises the bar for all of us to be better in our posts and comments. You know they’re going to be checking in reading and we should honor them by keeping the site classy and educational.

My sentiments exactly. I feel sucker-punched when I think about Ted, Bear, and NYC leaving. NYC, with his sarcastic summaries and all the work he put in, especially during McJayGate, has been steadfast. I can understand how it could get to be too much.

Thanks for everything, all of you!

I sometimes feel like the little shirt-tail cousin sitting listening in awe to the elders speak football, too intimidated by their experience and knowledge to speak up. But when I do, they treat me as an equal in their midst. Emmett personified the wise Uncle to me, while Doug was the one who worked all night gathering information to fuel the talks. I will miss them, and trust they stop by to visit once in a while.

But thank you for posting this.

Couldn’t have said it better without taking up 5,000 words or so. Keep rockin’ with MHR and the Broncos (and some good tunes of course).
