Perrish Cox Felony Chargers

Taken from the DenverPost.com : "The two felony charges against Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox accuse him of sexually assaulting a helpless victim incapable of appraising her own condition.

Douglas County District Attorney's spokeswoman Casimir Spencer confirmed the two charges Tuesday, saying only that part of the case listing specific charges has been unsealed. The rest of the file remains sealed at the request of the DA's office.

Cox, 23, was arrested late Thursday after Lone Tree police received a sexual assault complaint Oct. 28.
Cox made a brief court appearance Friday morning before Douglas County Judge Susanna Meissner-Cutler, who set his bail at $50,000. After posting the bond, Cox declined to comment as he left the courthouse several hours later.

Cox was allowed to travel with the Broncos to Arizona for Sunday's game against the Cardinals and he played some, although he did not start the game.

The sex assault-victim helpless charge is a class 3 felony. The sex assault-victim incapable of appraising her condition is a class 4 felony. The charges against Cox will require the state to prove that he had sex with the woman and that she was "physically helpless and the actor knows the victim is physically helpless and the victim has not consented."

A second count will require the state to prove that Cox knew at the time "that the victim is incapable of appraising the nature of the victim's conduct."

Cox's next court date is Jan. 7."

The AP reports that Cox could face a four-game suspension from the NFL next season for violating the league's personal conduct code, regardless of whether he's convicted.

Perrish Cox could be facing life in prison if convicted on sexual assault charges filed by prosecutors last week.
The Associated Press reports that documents unsealed on Tuesday indicate that the charges are Class 3 and Class 4 felonies, which carry a sentence of two years to life in prison. Cox could also face 10 years to life of probation.

Well guys this is sad and disappointment to the Broncos and Cox himself. We all knew that Cox had some issues coming into the Broncos and when we drafted him. But I thought, like others, that Cox had turned it around and was following the tutorledge of Champ Bailey. I guess we shouldn't judge Cox till he is guilty. But this is the sort of thing our team doesn't want to be known for.

Broncos Vs Cardinals - Post Game

Well everyone another lose to go with the other 9 so far this season. And we now have a record of 3-10, the only good thing is we are now looking at the 3rd overall pick in the draft. I sort of expected this lose (I hoped we didn’t) because we have a trend of losing four games in a row. So would not surprise me if we beat Oakland haha. But if you have been hiding under a rock (as most Broncos fans are at the moment) you would have missed the Cardinals, led by a rookie QB, put 43 points on our Broncos. The final score being 43-13, at least we got a TD. Lets review the good and the very bad from the game.

I will admit I didn’t watch the game, I saw the highlights (low-lights) from the game and have read a number of comments from others about the game.

Orton – Was flat out terrible, three picks! Come on guy. That and he fumbled the ball away. Orton was terrible, rookie Skelton playing for the Cards had better stats then Orton. I am still unsure of why we continued to play Orton in this game, unless the coach is punishing him hoping to hurt him (bruised ribs??) Anyway if Orton continues to play the Broncos will continue to lose.

Lloyd – Looked disinterest and can’t handle being covered by a good corner or double teamed. He will struggle in the coming weeks as teams have game planned for him.

Gaffney – The same as Lloyd, Gaff is disinterested and doesn’t look happy. Probably because he isn’t getting enough ball and his best mate (McD) is gone.

Decker – Though he fumbled, had real good energy and provided a spark on this team. He looked great on the kick returns making some real nice gains. I think he needs to get involved more in the offense and what better way to get him more involved then using the QB that loved throwing to him in the preseason.

Moreno and  Ball – Had really good games, Moreno has started to show up in the last few games and is on pace for 1000 yards on the ground. That is if they keep giving him the ball and not giving it to Orton who is struggling. Ball also did a nice job with the limited carries he got. Ball I think is really happy Studs is the coach.

DefenseThe defense played really well. If you don’t believe me let me put it this way, imagine all the field goals the Cards kicked were TDs, what would the score have been. The defense did a good job holding the Cards to three points and really tired hard. Though they got no help from the offense who turned the ball over 6 times and could not stay on the field. They finally cracked in the 4th and let in 17 points (there was also a pick 6).

There was a problem with the pass rush for the Broncos thought, as it was none existent. Skelton who is a big stationary target was not sacked at all in this game. I thought Ayers and DJ played well as did Haggan.

I also thought our DBs played well. I really like Bruton he is coming along well, if only he and McBath could stay healthy. Squid also had a real nice game expect for the penalty. Champ is still champ and made some nice plays as did Goodman.

The biggest problem I see was that there was no Tebow, who is desperate to play. He wants to play this year, he said it would be a missed opportunity if he didn’t get to play this year. Studs also said today that Orton will start against the Raiders but will evaluate that as time goes by leaving the door open for Tebow. Tebow may get the start against Houston or the Chargers if Orton flops in Oakland.

Broncos Vs Cardinals

Well guys and gal time to do a bit of a preview for this week’s upcoming game. The Broncos (3-9) are going on the road to take on the Arizona Cardinals (3-9). Both teams have struggled this year and haven’t been able to get wins when they mattered. The Cards are coming off a 7 game losing streak and the Broncos are trying not to lose their 4th game in a role. Last week the Cards played the Rams that got the win in a game that was a little close. But the Cards have had problems with their QBs but more on that later. The Broncos on the other handed played the Chiefs last week in a close and tough game. The Broncos would lose the game 10-6 but fought hard.

After losing against the Chiefs and being knockout of the playoffs for another year Owner Pat Bowlen decided to make a change and fire Head Coach McDaniels. There are a number of possible reasons for this, the spygate 2, being knocked out of the playoffs or Bowlen was fed up with McD. Anyway it means the Eric Studesville will take over as HC and this changes up a few things on game day. As he is more of a manger, show McCoy will be calling plays. It will be interesting to see how that goes down on game day and if there is a spark of energy late in the year.

Offense
The Broncos offense thought it was opposite day last week as Orton struggled and could not get anything going. He only got 117 yards all a game, about 200 less than he usually gets. We will need Orton to have a bounce back game against a weak Cards’ secondary. But it will be on McCoy to call the right plays in the right situations to help Orton get it done. On the other hand Moreno had his best game all year last week and is starting to come in to his own. If he gets 100 yards in each of the next 4 games he will go over a 1000 yards! I never thought we would be so surprised to see a Broncos running back do that. But it will be up to Moreno to support Orton and carry the ball 20+ times in this game. There is also the option of Tebow, it is unsure how the HC will use or see Tebow. If Orton struggles early and throws a few picks we may see Tebow get the nod.

For the Cards they have had trouble with their QBs, Anderson was pulled last week after taking a number of shots and playing poorly. He hasn’t trained all week which makes me think that he may have sustained a concussion in last weeks game. Max Hall came in and took over for Anderson. But he didn’t do much better, he was sacked twice and on the second sack he dislocated his shoulder and will probably miss the rest of the season. That leads us to John Skelton, a QB that I thought could have a future in the NFL. He came out and played OK but made rookie mistakes, as he is a rookie. It is very possible that Skelton is the QB to start against the Broncos and our push rush should have a field day against him. Skelton will also have Hightower and Wells backing him up at RB, both have not done much this year. But look for Skelton to go after his best and favorite target Larry Fitzgerald in the passing game. It will be Champs job to stop him.

Defense
It will be up to the Broncos' pass rush to unsettle the rookie QB Skelton and help out Champ and the secondary that has to cover Larry and Breaston. I want to see Cox, Squid and Ayers play well in this game. I really think we can go after the Cards offense. Would also like to see Bruton get more game time.

On their side of the defense we need to block well and take guys like Porter and Dockett out of the game. But if we get rolling we really should role these guys easily.

My Prediction for the game is the Broncos play with renewed energy and flat out dominate the Cards in this one. I am predicting a 33-14 score line.

Injuries
Matt Prater made his first appearance on the injury report this season as he was limited in Thursday’s session with a right groin injury. Andre Goodman (quadricep) and Darcel McBath (quadricep/ankle) also had limited participation in the session.

Brian Dawkins (knee), Spencer Larsen (hamstring) and Demaryius Thomas (ankle) missed their second straight workout and Studesville said previously that all three will miss Sunday’s game.

For the Cardinals, Anderson (head) was the lone player to miss Thursday’s practice. WR Steve Breaston (knee), DE Calais Campbell (ankle), K Jay Feeley (right groin), LB Clark Haggans (groin) and LB Joey Porter (knee) practiced with limited participation. CB Michael Adams (shoulder), DT Darnell Dockett (shoulder) and CB Greg Toler (foot) had full participation in the session.

Trivia

1) During the 1980s which Bronco receiver had the quickest touchdown reception in Super Bowl history?

2) Which Bronco running back released a single in 1977 called, "Make Those Miracles Happen"?

Josh McDaniels Fired


Head Coach Josh McDaniels has been let go by the Broncos as Pat Bowlen has relieved him of his HC duties. The search for a new coach is officially on and the Broncos have named an interim coach to coach out the rest of the year. NFL.com's Steve Wyche reports McDaniels was surprised by the announcement, according to a source close to the coach. Owner Pat Bowlen was said to be gracious in his dismissal but the timing of the move caught McDaniels and some close to him off guard, the source said. In 28 games as the head coach of the Broncos, McDaniels accumulated a record of 11-17.

Players didn't know of McDaniels' firing when they left team headquarters after a conditioning run ended at 3 p.m. Shortly after that, McDaniels met with Bowlen and was fired with two years left on his contract. "I think losing has been weighing heavy on us, if anything," Orton said. "Our level of play hasn't been all that great right now. It's been frustrating." Orton said after playing Santa for a fund rising event. "From a personal standpoint, I'm disappointed because he was not only a head coach but a play caller," said Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton. "I did really like him as a play caller. I think he's a good coach. The players have to be held accountable, too. The way we've played is on us. You never want to see somebody fired."

While McDaniels' losing record — the Broncos have dropped 17 of their past 22 games since a 6-0 start to the 2009 season — questionable personnel moves and emotional swings didn't help, it's the integrity assaults the organization has taken in the aftermath of their recent videotape violation that has owner Pat Bowlen and chief operating officer Joe Ellis searching for new leadership in their football operations department. He also had plenty of off-the-field issues, too, including the videotaping violation and linebacker D.J. Williams' drunken driving charge that caused him to get stripped of his captaincy. Before he was fired Monday, McDaniels said he was reticent to turn to rookie Tim Tebow even though the Broncos (3-9) had been eliminated from contention with a 10-6 loss at Kansas City, their seventh loss in eight games.

McDaniels had nearly $7 million left on his contract, and Bowlen is still on the hook for millions more he owes Mike Shanahan, whom he fired last year. That means he'll be paying three head coaches next season. However, since the videotaping incident, the team has researched whether it could fire the coach "for cause," in which they would not owe McDaniels the balance of his contract, according to team and league sources. The Broncos have sought to clarify with legal counsel and the NFL management council on whether the words of chief operating officer Joe Ellis would hurt the team's case on a "for cause" firing of McDaniels, the sources said. Ellis had stated in a conference call on Nov. 27 that he did not consider the videotaping incident a "fireable offense."

Broncos interim coach will be RB coach Eric Studesville. In his 14th season in the league, Studesville has been a running backs coach for 10 of them, guiding four individuals to a total of seven 1,000-yard rushing seasons. His running backs have registered 34 individual 100-yard rushing efforts, a total that includes 14 by Willis McGahee, 12 by Tiki Barber and two by Knowshon Moreno. Studesville is a good coach that has been in the league for a long time but it will be interesting to see how the offense works on Sunday without McD calling plays.

Although the Broncos must conduct a thorough search process to conform with the NFL's Rooney Rule that states a team must interview a minority candidate for head coaching opening. Rumored replacements are Jon Gruden, Urban Meyer, Brian Billick, Wade Phillips, Bill Cowher and Troy Calhoun.

"My decision to relieve Josh McDaniels as head coach was not taken lightly," Bowlen said in a statement. "I will always be appreciative of his passion, enthusiasm and hard work, and I thank him for his efforts. In the end, I was not satisfied with the results and the direction this team was headed. The decision to make a change was extremely difficult but one that needed to be made for this organization and our fans."

Studesville becomes the fourth interim head coach in team history, and the 13th head coach of the Broncos.

"I am very appreciative of the trust that Mr. Bowlen and the entire Denver Broncos organization have shown in me," Studesville said in a statement. "Although the circumstances that this opportunity resulted from are unfortunate, I am excited to lead this football team. We have a great group of players and coaches who are committed to finishing the season on a promising note and making our fans proud of this team."

"Everyone, myself included, is accountable for our disappointing season and is now responsible for restoring the culture of winning that has been established by this franchise," Bowlen said. "Our entire organization is completely focused on returning to the level of prosperity that our fans expect and deserve from the Denver Broncos."

With thousands of empty seats at their last home game, the Broncos didn't announce actual attendance but only paid attendance, which at 72,736 was the lowest since Invesco Field opened a decade ago. By the time the Broncos' fourth-quarter rally fell one drive short in their 36-33 loss to St. Louis, most of the seats were empty.

Statement by McDaniels: "I am very grateful to Pat Bowlen and the Broncos’ organization for giving me the opportunity to be the Head Coach of such a proud franchise. I would like to thank all of the people who helped us over the last two years. I am especially appreciative of the efforts of every player, coach and member of the personnel department who worked so hard every day. I wish Pat Bowlen and the Broncos’ organization nothing but the best in the future."

Broncos Vs Chiefs II - Post Game

Well guys it was another tough lose and this was one of the hardest loses to stomach as we were in this late but we threw the game away. But I have to give my Broncos credit because they showed me what I wanted to see and did what I asked. In the preview for this game I stated that I wanted to see our boys fight tooth and nail to the end and be in this game. Which they did, both teams were fired up and really went at it. Did you see Richardson on the sideline? You could see there was pressure in this game, both coaches wanted this one. The other thing I wanted to see was hope, some glimmer that there is something there for the future. And there was, Decker, Moreno, Champ, young DBs, the offensive line, these are some things that we can take away from this game and look forward to. I also think this game helped McD keep his job for next year, he had his guys prepared and they fought hard, they just struggled to execute it. The biggest plus was that they didn’t get blown out. Also did you see McD’s father? Could he be with us next year?

Lets review what some players did in the game:

Offensive line – Was really good in opening holes for the run game and really helped out Moreno. The offensive line wasn’t great in the pass though, let in 4 sacks, two of which came from a defensive back, who I believed came through unblocked on an overload blitz. The other two sacks were by Hali, who is an underrated pass rusher. His second sack he beat Clady with a good move. Then made a great play on the ball off the ground after sacking Orton.

Orton – He was flat out terrible today and that happens, everyone has that bad game once and awhile and Orton had his today. He finished with a stat line of 9/28 for 117 yards. He regularly under threw the ball which ended up hitting the ground and missed timed a number of other throws. He could have been picked off a number of times too. He was off today and had a slow release but that happens. I also do understand the call of McD to put the ball in Orton’s hands late in the game then call runs and hand it off to Moreno. The head coach is meant to trust in his quarterback and trusts his QB to get the win for him. Orton just was terrible in the clutch, not making any throws. This lack of success may play in McD’s mind, may not trust Orton as much anymore and may throw in the Tebow? More on that later.

Receivers - did nothing today and all finished with terrible stats, but this is due in large part because Orton was ineffective. Decker looks good though, gets out of his breaks quick and slows surprising speed, plus he has great hands, hope to see more of him in the future.

Moreno – flat out balling. Dude was on fire today, finished with 23 carries and 161 yards, didn’t get a TD as we could not convert and Orton wasn’t helping him get the ball close to the redzone. This is the Moreno I remember seeing from his college highlights. I talked about it last year, Moreno looked slow and out of shape. He lacked game conditioning and was slowed by injuries. But this year he has over come the hammy problems and may finely be healthy and it shows. He has shown impressive speed out of his cuts and makes a number of guys miss. This is the player we wanted week in and week out when we drafted him. Moreno looks good going ahead. He carried the load today but maybe needs a quick change of pace back to help him out in the future. Also something interesting I came across, check out the comparisons between Moreno and TD, did Bobby Turner have some influence with this pick?

Royal – Dude you got to catch that sh#t, good thing Cox was there to cover it. Maybe Royal gets pulled from return duties for the next game and Cox gets a chance or Squid?

Defense – They played really well today. They weren’t great, but made a number of key stops. But they allowed the Chiefs to get over 150 rushing yards on them. They did managed to get a little pressure on Cassel.

Champ – flat out balling. This is why we should resign this guy, is still the top CB in the league. He said it today that the last game they played against the Chiefs that he was distracted and Bowe had a field day then. Today Champ came to play and flat out dominated Bowe, who did not get a single catch all game. Cox loves Champ and would like to see him stay. And I believe Champ hasn’t lost anything and still got more than enough speed to play the game. So resign him but work out a good deal with him. Maybe less money at the back end with a lot of performance boosters in it if he does change to safety.

I was impressed with Cox, he was solid, made a lot of open field tackles. Saw some of Squid too, like to get these guys more involved. Bruton was good too, but made a bad read on the Chiefs TD pass, bit on the run when he could have gotten the sack.

DJ Williams – He really impressed me today with his tackles, hit hard and showed great technique. I really like DJ, just needs to be more of a leader or needs someone to complement him more.

Joe Mays - hit Moeaki hard again, love some of that, and shows our team has some toughness. But the thing holding him back is his coverage, still struggles in coverage.

D-line - Hasn’t been too bad lately, they do play much better when Vickerson and Jamal are in there. Bannan played well today and is steady, doesn’t always play with a low pad level though. But there is something there to build off, but will need to draft DEFENSE in next years draft.

Referees – Need to comment on these guys as I think they made some bad calls. There was a lot of holding, saw it a lot on our defensive line, probably was the same for their guys. I don’t mind they didn’t call it, lets the game play out, and it was a physical game. I thought the call on DJ was incorrect, I think DJ didn’t have enough time or space to be able to pull out of the tackle and was committed and hit the guy fairly. If he hit the huge TE Pope instead of McCluster the penalty probably isn’t called. I think DJ made the right decision and because the ball was right there. Was the right thing to do, bad call. The other bad call was the shovel pass that Orton did to Moreno that was called down. Orton was still standing up when the ball was released, and Moreno would have gotten the first down. Was a really bad call and changed the game. If it is a correct call the Broncos get the first, are in better fielded position and could have changed the overall result of the game. What I don’t understand was that there wasn’t a challenge? Could McD have challenged the bad call and instead of playing the ball at the sack 7 yards back and a loss of downs, have a replay of the play back at the previous down, I am unsure of the ruling? But these two calls really were bad and changed the game.


Well guys with that loss it effectively knocks the Broncos out of the playoffs, if we won out the rest of the season we would only get a record of 7-9, the Chiefs (who lead at the moment) record is 8-4. So we can’t finish first, therefore I think it is time to start playing for next year. Get an extra 4 weeks working towards next year. This means getting the younger guys involved. The young DBs, WRs (Decker, Thomas (when healthy)) and of course Tebow. Yes I think it is Tebow time and I think it is now. Orton has shown he can’t lead late and is not good in the clutch. It is time to see what Tebow has and let him build some chemistry with guys like Decker and Thomas. Let him make mistake now instead of next year.

For those that are hesitate or don’t want Tebow here is a few points that you may find interesting. With Orton at the helm I think the Broncos struggle the rest of the year, we saw it today, Orton holds onto the ball to long and struggles under any form of pressure. Even with Moreno carrying the offense he still struggled. I think we have seen the best of Orton and won’t see much more from him.

Another point that is made: Tebow may struggle and his confidence will be wrecked or his mental state will be affected if he gets sacked too much aka Joey Harrington, lots of potential but never could do it. To this I say that Harrington was on a terrible team, not like the Broncos who have some talent. And Harrington didn’t have the support Tebow has here, the McD brothers. Plus it is Tebow, I can see him struggling, I can see him starting all the remaining games and losing every single one. But then comes out next year and dominates it. Why? He is Tim Tebow, this isn’t a guy that you can affect his confidence, he isn’t a confidence player. He is a guy that completely believes in himself and his ability, and if he does struggle he works harder, tries to get better, to raise himself above. I think playing Tebow now could be the best thing, he will struggle, train and practice harder for next year and flat out dominate it next season, that is my prediction.

Oh and McD and Haley hugged after the game and bit of a love tap on the head by Haley haha.

That's it from me ~ Aussie Out!

Broncos Vs Chiefs II - Preview

What up peeps? What doing? Well guys with the lovely Princess out of town I am filling in. So lets hop to it then. The Denver Broncos are coming off two straight loses, but showed some fight last week coming back late against the Rams. This week the Broncos take on the Kansas City Chiefs in round two of the divisional show down. In the last 10 years of the divisional rivalry, the season series has been split by the Broncos and Chiefs seven times. In round one of this division bout, three weeks ago the Broncos came out fast and dropped the hammer on the Chiefs, scoring 35 unanswered points. It was a beautiful game to watch as the Broncos put together all 3 phases of the game. Moreno got his first 100 yard game, Orton was good, Lloyd was good and Tebow threw his first TD pass. The defense also played well, Haggan got 3 sacks and the defense scored its first touchdown of the year. That is before the Chiefs got a ton of garbage yards late in the game. And then there was the McHandShakeGate or whatever we are calling that. Which has fired up both teams, though McD tired to down play it, saying how much he respected their organisation. But I know both coaches will have their teams fired up. I think this game will really show what our team is made of and if we have something. Both teams will fight tooth and nail for this one, if the Broncos are still in this battle late and fighting tough there is real hope for this team and McD. As he would have fired up our boys to play hard and battle it out with a good team, which we haven't done recently. But if we get blown out by the Chiefs then I think we are in serious trouble. This game may make or break McD, and I don't think Tebow will be involved, much.

For the Chiefs, since their last match, they have won two straight games by a combined score of 73-37. Jamaal Charles has racked up 261 rushing yards in the process, while Matt Cassel has thrown six touchdowns, five of which have gone to Dwayne Bowe. Meanwhile, the defense has accumulated four sacks and two interceptions while holding the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks to an average of 60 yards on the ground.

To help prepare of the game McD has said the team will work with noise elements in practice this week to prepare for playing at the New Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

Offense
For the Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton leads the league with 3,370 passing yards, he now has 8 more than Rivers. The Broncos receivers are lead by Brandon Lloyd who has a touchdown in four consecutive games. Lloyd continues to make his case, on the field at least, to represent the Broncos in the Pro Bowl at Hawaii. He leads the NFL in receiving yards with 1,122 and is tied for third in receiving touchdowns with nine and is increasingly the top target for Orton. Also Royal and Moreno have been putting some good games together quietly. The key to this game will be the play of the offense line. If they can keep Orton up right and open holes for Moreno it will go along way for the Broncos to win this game.

For the Chiefs though Cassel has led the NFL with 12 touchdown passes in the month of November. And his top target has been Dwayne Bowe has a franchise record 14 touchdown catches so far this year. With 5 games left Bowe is set to finish off the year in a big way, it will be up to Champ to shut him down. Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones are also big threats on the ground if the Broncos struggle to shutdown the run.

Defense
On Defense the Broncos will need to bring their A game to stop the impressive offense of the Chiefs. The secondary has to be on their game. Cox and Bailey need to play well and Dawkins needs to make tackles. The linebackers need to bring the pass rush in this game to put off Cassel. Ayers and DJ will need to be on top of their game to hold up in the run and cover the TE. The D-Line needs to be dominate and beat the Chiefs O-line at the point of attack, like they did in the previous meeting.

The Chiefs defense also has been playing well and will be a tough task to beat in this game. They have a secondary that has had some injuries recently but they are young and getting better. The Chiefs linebackers have been impressive, as have their D-line who are finally maturing into fine players

Special Teams
The Broncos special teams unit will need to be on song in this game as the Chiefs have good returners. Plus they will most likely have Dexter McCluster for this game which we did not see in the previous game. McCluster is a dynamic player and will be tough to contain.

Injuries
Three of the four players held out of practice were defensive backs: safeties Brian Dawkins and Darcel McBath and cornerback Andre Goodman. Receiver Demaryius Thomas also was out with an ankle injury. Those players are not expected to travel to Kansas City.

For the Chiefs, cornerback Jackie Bates (knee) did not practice. Cornerback Brandon Flowers (hamstring), safety Kendrick Lewis and guard Ryan Lilja (foot) were limited in practice. Safety Jon McGraw (head) fully participated in the workout.

What to play for
The Broncos have to take a look in the mirror and know what they are playing for as the playoffs are pretty much out of the picture. Each player needs to make up a decision about what they are playing for. They can play for pride or passion, they could play for the love of the game. But professionalism is the main thing the Broncos players should know. The players must know they are paid to play and they have a job to do. And some of them should realize that they are playing for positions next year as some will be let go. So go out there be professional and do your job.

Trivia Time
1) Of the eight original founding AFL teams, who were the two teams that have not moved from their original city?

2) Who from the Denver Broncos was briefly engaged to future United States Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice?

3) In 1984, the Broncos started their Ring of Fame honoring former Denver Bronco greats. Who were the first four inductees?

Just for laughs
Check out this video of Tebow is a little funny haha, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7xFznOSmvY
