Early April is an annoying time for football fans. With the exception of prospect visits for the draft, there’s really very little going on. The free agent craze is all but over. The schedule hasn’t been released. The draft still manages to feel like it’s weeks away no matter where we are in the calendar.

Let’s go already! I need some sort of Broncos fix!

Now, I’m not complaining about the Broncos closing their offseason program to the media. I think it’s great that Sean Payton wants the team to focus on everything but yapping to the media. Especially after last season. Plus, locking the media out gave us this delicious gem.

When you consider the media BBQ, the free hot dogs in the press box, and all the other fringes local media enjoy, it’s kind of awesome to see Klis pouting over having to actually do a little investigative journalism from the other side of the fence. Poor guy... Having to slum it in the gutter like that.

So this is where we are. Nothing is really happening. Thank goodness the draft is late next week. We could really use some real Broncos news. Klis is in the gutter is fine, but my soul needs something a little more substantive.
