While the architects were designing the bowling alley and racquetball court at his sprawling 35,000-square foot home that started to take shape over the winter, Mike Shanahan went to work remodeling the Denver Broncos.

When Michael Pittman arrived in Denver, he told the coaches he'd do whatever was asked of him. Little did he know they'd take him at his word.

Familiar Broncos preseason opponents enjoyable - (08/20)

I?ve approved of the opponents the Broncos drew in the preseason for several reasons. Of greatest priority is the fact that the two most critical games for the starters (the second and third) were populated by two 13-3 teams from last year in the Cowboys and Packers. However, what?s also kept things interesting [...]

Broncos-Cowboys Preseason Quick Hits - (08/18)

–My guess on what occurred in the passing game was fairly accurate.  Not only is Jay Cutler evolving into a serious NFL quarterback, his weapons at disposal are proving to develop either steadily (Brandon Marshall, Nate Jackson), or quickly (Eddie Royal).  There is one caveat that should temper some of the talk of the passing [...]

Rookie stands out for all the right reasons (AP) - (08/18)
