hell yes.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. DA

Damn it!

Now I have to figure out Twitter and sign up! Haven’t had any desire or need until now.

by golfsnow on Jan 5, 2011 7:44 PM MST reply actions

haha me too!

it’s funny – I’ve been hearing about twitter for what, like 10 years now? The minute I read the first paragraph of this article I went to twitter & tried to sign up! Must be a bunch of bronco fans signing up because the website is over capacity & wouldn’t let me sign up.

I guess I hit a down time

I went out and signed up immediately…guess I got lucky and got signed up in a “down time”. Well I’m signed up, now to figure the rest of it out…

I've been on twitter for almost a year, now, and within 15 seconds Elway had more followers than me.

Maybe if I had a few more 4th quarter comebacks, I’d have more followers…

haha, thanks. I follow you, too... And we've had some solid twittersations (twitter + conversations) over the past year, too.

It’s been a true honor to lead and follow you, Dustin.

Thanks Troy.

It has been a pleasure. I’m thankful to Mr. Bena for creating this site where we can put our collective football minds together and have great football conversations!

and all the dumb games on Facebook.

anywho, i guess i might have to way to pros and cons and see if i will get one and follow elway and some other broncos players…. hmmmm

Just gotta filter out the noise....

Can’t beat the updates from Schefter, MHR, Denver Post, etc…. showing up on the phone.

by charlesnelsonreilly on Jan 5, 2011 8:24 PM MST up reply actions

Exactly!

That it the only reason why i have a Twitter—-I love it! Haha.

Happiest day of my life...

When Schefter IM’ed me on Twitter about a question I had. Up to that point I was utterly bored with Twitter.

Well, I still am but Adam Schefter talked to me so…it must be cool. LOL

If Warren Sapp is so damn smart, let him take the snaps.

by TheMastermind on Jan 6, 2011 8:53 AM MST up reply actions

I felt the same way for a long time

But then I realized it has its place. Like CNR said, the immediate updates are pretty cool.

by SFV Bronco Fan on Jan 5, 2011 9:17 PM MST up reply actions

The only reason I have twitter is they (The Broncos) sometimes make twitter announcements before anything else. I have the mobile alerts.

it is, he is connected to the official twitter of the Denver Broncos

Let's put the 'D' back in Denver

by plainview88 on Jan 6, 2011 12:36 AM MST up reply actions

For me

I am sure that is his official account. Really, anyone could be typing, who knows. I don’t even have a cell phone so take my feelings for what they are worth. I don’t need imediate updates as I am usually on or near a computer anyway.
I would always wonder if John directed someone to post and I am also sure that same person would soon have it on DB.com. I am just as sure that MHR or Facebook will let me know be too many nanoseconds have gone by :D
Just sharing my thoughts, no good or bad to it.

Opinions are like......, Well anyway, this is mine.
Don’t worry about it. As an ignorant redneck, I’m qualified to say that.

No, it is a fake.

You have been duped. Now we all secretly have all of your bank account information. Sucker!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

PS – Yes, it is him. LOL

I was thinking (uh oh)...

What would have happened if John had be reunited with the Broncos after Shanny was fired? Before McD? Things could’ve been different. I guess we’ll never know…

We conquered this territory with our bodies and souls, then we watered it with our tears.
Go Denver!

Visiting from Field Gulls...

but I was born in Aurora. Elway is far and away my favorite QB, and I was ecstatic when we left the AFC, as it freed me from my sin of sports bigamy. I LOVE the Seahawks, but I really do want to see the ’Coes return to prosperity.

Also, I really do respect this blog. As far as quality of writing and content you guys are right up there with FG, Windy City Gridiron and Cincy Jungle. I happen to hate both the Bears and the Bengals, but good writing is good writing. Good luck in the draft.

Love the game, love the beer, love your team.
