Posted Friday March 20, 2009, About: Avs may receive league money

I don't even understand this statement. Are you supposed to care about your division rivals? That wouldn't make sports very fun if you did.

This isn't a column about bashing teams, this is about a poor performing hockey team that has continuously increased ticket sales in a struggling economy. Ticket prices are outrageous, that is a serious reason why people are not showing. When you are paying to drive a mercedes, you don't expect a riding lawn mower.

The nuggets, broncos, and rockies have has minimal increase in tickets and still offer affortable options. This is a major reason why people are not showing up.

Go watch DU in the playoffs for $20 4 rows up, go to a mammoth game with the entire family(4) for $60, a broncos game for 50-$100, or a rocks game for $5, or hey, lets go watch a team with no heart play for $130 that is not even in the first section.

We have 8 professional teams in colorado, and we have great college programs that people attend on a regular basis. When you are chargin $100+ to go see the Avs get their ass kicked, it is not worth it when you have other options at better prices. They have also lost their appeal by not having or pursuing quality players.

This is probably hard to understand considering Ottawa has so many pro teams and is known for being a sports town? Get out of here.

McDaniels, Cutler to Meet Next Week
DenverBroncos.com

Head Coach Josh McDaniels and Jay Cutler will meet next week when Cutler returns to Denver from Nashville.

"The Denver Broncos are not trading Jay Cutler. Period," said Broncos spokesman Patrick Smyth.

Posted Tuesday March 03, 2009, About: Cutler not in Bears' future

I like the denver broncos, but if I get Drafted by the Bears and they give me a 6 year contract worth Millions, I am now a Bears fan. This is a business, not who your favorite team was growing up as a kid..

I heard we are trading cutler for brady or peyton, maybe both and let them fight for the starting position... Post it.

Posted Wednesday January 28, 2009, About: Tomlinson willing to take pay cut

I hope they keep LT and drive themselves into a unwanted hole, as a donks fan. What does he only want 6 mil instead of 8 mil to play 4 games? I have no idea why they wouldn't part ways and take a chance with beanie wells? Unless he is taking a drastic cut. Send him to the Browns or Bungles...

yawn.

Posted Wednesday January 28, 2009, About: What's Cassel's trade value?

what teams really need him? Chicago, Vikes, Jets? The rest will have draft picks (Chiefs, 9ers).. I think the real question is will anyone take the chance on this guy for a large exchange, or perhaps, what do those teams actually have that they can give up? I can't think of much... I think he would be a great fit on the Vikes or Jets. And I doubt NE will give him to a conference rival.

REPORT: CHIEFS NEAR DEAL WITH SHANAHAN
Posted by Mike Florio on January 23, 2009, 5:19 p.m.
On the same day that a former Broncos coach made a big stir by unexpectedly arising as a candidate for offensive coordinator in San Fran, another former Broncos coach is also potentially resurfacing in an unexpected place. On Thursday, we pointed out that there were increasing rumors and reports of the Chiefs possibly hiring former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan.

The rumors and reports were knocked down in various circles.

Now, ESPN???s Chris Mortensen reports that the Chiefs are close to a deal with Shanahan.

Wow.

Unless the Soul Man exception indeed applies based on Shanahan???s spray tan, the move would necessarily mean that the Chiefs interviewed at least one minority candidate and possibly other non-minority candidates under one of the tightest lids that ever have been kept on a multi-candidate coaching search.Shanahan was unexpectedly fired by the Broncos in December after 14 years with the team.

If the deal goes through, the Chiefs will be the third AFC team that Shanahan has coached.Assuming he has no desire to run the show in Kansas City, it???s possible that the foundation has been laid for tremendous success.

After all, Shanahan the coach was always having to overachieve due to the screw-ups of Shanahan the G.M.

Its already on, the show is called Bromance on MTV, geesh, this is old news.

Jake Plummer:) The jets dont need a mechanic, they need a ... well you get it.

Posted Friday January 23, 2009, About: Why Chiefs won't hire Shanahan

It will never happen, despite what everyone thinks, Shanny has respect for Denver. It was simply time for a change, and both bowlen and shanny left on good terms, reasonably speaking, nothing like his departure in Oakland. All that would go out the window if he went to an AFC rival.

Cowboys are my prediction, he has roots with Romo and Skeletor, and Dallas runs a similar offense. Wade is in the hotseat, its the NFC, and sadly how much I hate the 'boys, who wouldnt want to be coach of americas most watched team. Despite what people think, we did a lot of friendly scrimages with the Cowboys, and are relatively close to the personel.

Posted Tuesday January 20, 2009, About: Did Panthers fire coach to please Peppers?

Possibly he is coming to my Donks who are revamping the 3-4.. I just don't think they can afford him.. I hear lots of rumors tho, r. lewis and b. berry are a couple others.. He will have his work cut out for him here with the Orange Mush.

girls...girls... lets be mature about this.

Posted Monday January 19, 2009, About: More hints at Islanders relocation?

Geesh, another great jersey that may retire along with the whalers, jets, and nordiques (but I am an avs fan).. Also, KC is a good sports place, but they already have a couple pro teams, I think they would do better in vegas because they dont have any pro sports.. Kinna like how the portland trail blazers are gods in oregon.. Might be a smart move, but I would keep 'em in NY. Our new NHL team the Kansas City B.B.Q Wings!

Posted Monday January 19, 2009, About: Angry Boldin to bolt Cardinals?

Well wasn't Warner getting in an arguement also with Offensive Coord? Maybe this coach is a bit of a tough a**? Anyone know? Personally, I think its good for the coach to make that stand and let the players know who is the boss.

Ya sorry i am not familiar with hartfords economy haha.. I was basing this more off fan base, and yes the jersey..

Posted Friday January 16, 2009, About: Gretzky: Coyotes in trouble

Do they have a good attendance? Anyone know? I just don't see arizona in general as any kind of hockey state. Send them to Canada somewhere where they are appreciated again? Winnipeg... or scratch canada, how bout bringn back the Whalers.

Posted Friday January 16, 2009, About: Spagnoulo's secret Jets meeting

The secret is that now nobody wants him and the Jets have very few options left. O wait, thats not a secret.

Posted Friday January 16, 2009, About: Next Winter Classic in new Yankee Stadium?

... also mentioned Minnesota as a possible host city, in case you hadn't noticed.

Ya, I noticed, but no one else will:) Minnesota is a great hockey state, but as far as marketing a game there, I don't see it happening. We have a lot of wild fans here in colorado, so bring it here with the wild... I think honestly both our teams either need to have some eye candy, like Crosby, or actually win a Cup, like detroit, before we can imagine this happening. Both teams are mediocre at best... What stadium is in Minnesota that isn't covered? Hence outdoor game! I have no idea.
