Marcus Thomas is thrilled the state attorney's office in Florida has decided not to pursue felony cocaine possession charges against him. Yet, the troubled former Florida star and current Denver Broncos' starting defensive tackle knows the court of public opinion is a different story. "I know people are probably thinking that it's one thing after another with this guy," Thomas said Saturday. "I don't blame them. But I have to go show that that I am staying out of trouble and that I can be a productive player. That will be the only way to show people that I mean business." Denver took Thomas in the fourth round of the 2007 draft after he was dismissed from the eventual BCS champion Florida Gator 2006 team after testing positive for marijuana use several times. Thomas stayed out of trouble as a rookie but he was arrested near his Jacksonville home in March for drug possession. However, charges were dropped and then pursued against the driver of the vehicle Thomas was a passenger in. Both Thomas and the driver told arresting officers that the drugs, found in a compartment in between the driver and passenger seats in the driver's truck, were not in Thomas' possession. "I know I didn't go anything wrong, but still it's not good," Thomas said. "I'm just glad I have the support of coach (Mike) Shanahan. I have to show him it's worth supporting me." The Broncos took Thomas because they thought he had first-round talent and he became a starter during the season. Hashmarks, posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson on May 10, 2008 6:40 PM.

Anyone else freaked out by the fact that Jay Cutler was born two days after Elway was drafted by the Baltimore Colts? I do believe in destiny. Cutler born the day Elway drafted?

ESPN - Ex-Pats employee Walsh sends NFL video of Pats' taping - NFL

TheSportsGuru — Thu, 08 May 2008 03:12:59 -0000

The Patriots Could Be Seriously Screwed -- The New York Times obtained a list of the Walsh tapes, and the league confirmed that list, which says that the Patriots taped offensive and defensive coaches in regular-season games against the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers. The team also made video of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2002 AFC Championship Game. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3386162

Clady was a gift for Denver. Perfect fit. Great athlete. Needs to get stronger, but that won't kill him in that system. If he works hard with the playbook, he will be fine. I like Jake first, Clady second, Albert third and Williams fourth. I didn't see Cherilus or Otah as LTs and Baker and Brown may end up at OG if they fail at LT, which is quite possible. However, I give Gibbs all the credit in the world and he could really coach up Brown in Houston. Matt Williamson (Scouts, Inc.) Chat on ESPN

Arturo Bandini — Wed, 07 May 2008 14:41:35 -0000

The Broncos' interest in running backs Shaun Alexander and Dominic Rhodes remains in the preliminary stages, according to sources close to the situation. Denver could bring in either player for a visit, but it isn't focusing on either player at this point. If Denver were to bring in a veteran running back, the team would likely have to part ways with veteran Travis Henry. There is likely little chance Denver would hold onto Henry and bring in another veteran. The Broncos also like second-year player Selvin Young and fifth-round pick Ryan Torain. So, if a veteran like Alexander or Rhodes comes in -- and it doesn't seem close to happening at this point -- it may be the end of a rocky, short era in Denver for Henry. His contract was chopped to about $1 million this season with incentives after a 2007 season which was disrupted by a drug case and injuries. Henry ended up averting a one-year drug suspension by winning an appeal, but he was a distraction to the Broncos. If the Broncos decide they don't want to deal with him again, perhaps Alexander or Rhodes could be brought in. Haskmarks May 6, 2008 10:57 PM Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson

Additionally, the Broncos have expressed some interest in Alexander and could wind up bringing him to Denver for a visit. Denver’s interest appeared to be more preliminary, yet it represented a third potential team interested in Alexander’s services. -- Adam Schefter Alexander could have options beyond Cincy

Peter King's Power Rankings

Disco_Stu — Mon, 05 May 2008 17:31:51 -0000

Now, I don't necessarily begrudge Peter King for putting Denver at #23. Last year was bad, and taking a "show me" approach to this year isn't wrong. I feel better than he does, but that's just me. What DOES bother me is that, instead of examining everything Denver did in the offseason, King says this: 23. Denver. Just whom exactly do you count on in Denver? The courageously diabetic quarterback? The who-knows-what-to-believe star wideout Brandon Marshall? Or the coach who might be running out of tricks with his magic wand? The Broncos gave up 26 points a game last year. And just how embarrassing must it be to surrender more than 30 to Houston, Chicago and the Oakland Raiders, for God's sake, all in the span of 18 days? The Broncos' most important acquisition to help that defense has never started an NFL game. Niko Koutouvides will play middle 'backer after backing up strong linebackers for four years in Seattle. Not too much pressure on him, is there? So the reloading season for Denver amounts to the following: -Cutler has diabetes, so you can't count on him -Marshall had his "fall" so you can't count on him -Shanahan is out-dated -Niko Koutouvides is expected to solve all Denver's problems I guess it was too much to ask that he mention the following: -Cutler's diabetes should be a non-issue this season -The trade for DRob and drafting Carlton Powell -Drafting Eddie Royal and signing Colbert, Parker, and Jackson -A deeper offensive line, with Ryan Clady on board -Bates is gone -The young defensive line has more experience *sigh* Maybe I'm just expecting too much from a MSM writer... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/peter_king/05/02/rankings/index.html
