Our image of the week this week comes from the very talented Drew Litton. Here’s his sketch of Jay Cutler’s least favorite play in the Bears’ playbook: You can see more of Litton’s work here.

Happy Friday, everyone. Since we’re about to enjoy the first long weekend of the summer, I thought I’d keep things light today. There will be no talk about the state of Demaryius Thomas foot injury, no analysis of the new defensive line, no flashbacks of the Mike Shanahan coaching era, no complaining about Dumervil’s lack of contract offer, and certainly no chatter about the QB issue. There will be some talk, however, about a one-time Broncos QB and his affinity for handball. Had Jake Plummer been as passionate about football as he is handball, his NFL career may have flourished. Lost Letterman put together [...]

  Source: Yardbarker I’m already looking forward to the 2014 Super Bowl. I don’t plan to go to the game, but if I had tickets, I’d gladly take a seat on a plastic chair possibly covered in snow and embrace the 15 degree temperatures. For the first time in history, the Super Bowl will take place in a cold weather city in a stadium that does not have a dome. I’m sure that people will miss the Florida beaches and flip flop wearing weather, but the biggest sporting event will take place on the nation’s biggest stage, or at least right next door [...]

Broncos: Broncos QBs toss in the wind and certain people stand out. Jamal Williams is impressing his teammates in OTAs. Speaking of defense, “Wink” is keeping things top secret.   Note to public: No Broncos QBs have been the subject of trade talks. Count on the Broncos having more than one #1 receiver this season. AFC West: A blast from the past over at Arrowhead Addict. Michael Bush will remain a Raider despite being buried in the depth chart.   Seems like the Chargers are putting all their eggs in one basket with Ryan Matthews.  Random: Ghostbusters take over the NY [...]

Brian Dawkins is one of my favorite Broncos. He will always be known as a Philadelphia Eagle, and years from now, I’m sure many people will forget that he was once a Bronco. B-Dawk makes our clip of the week this week out of respect. He’s 37 years old and still hits harder than most in the league. Enjoy:

A few words from Tim Tebow on SPARQ training: “My experience with SPARQ was great. My junior year in high school, I had the opportunity to come out here and compete and get better, and not only compete but see how I fared against other athletes, so it makes you want to work that much harder.” Tebow gives some great advice for SPARQ athletes wanting to improve their scores: “Come out here and get better. Don’t get discouraged, see what your numbers are, get out and start training, come back a few weeks later, and see how much you get better. I think [...]

Brandon Marshall’s third off season surgery in three years is boosting the confidence of residents on Revis Island. I’ve heard that Newark Airport will be littered with McDonald’s bags and television sets come December. Is it a coincidence that Marshall had his surgery just two weeks ago rather than when the season ended with a new potential contract hanging over his head? I think not. Here in Denver, we like to think there’s a serious QB competition going on. Josh McDaniels doesn’t think that’s the case in the short term, however. He maintains that Orton is his starter while the other three QBs continue to learn the system. We’ll [...]

 Source: Yardbarker There’s no doubt that an athlete’s body is the vehicle for success in sports. Ask anyone at the professional level what it’s like to modify training regimens throughout the year to find balance between working out and recovery, and that becomes a full time job in and of itself. That’s why a team’s training and conditioning staff is just as important as the head coach. Tim Tebow is known for his grueling workouts. He’s been featured on the cover Men’s Fitness and has been seen pushing large tires around like little toy cars. At the SPARQ training event last weekend, Tebow explained what [...]

Broncos: Elvis Dumervil is in action this week during OTA’s, but long term plans still need to be worked. Mike Rice’s sit down with Tim Tebow: Part 2. A former Cowboys center is visiting the Broncos today. Brady Quinn as the sleeper in the Broncos QB competition.  Notable OTA quotes from the first day. AFC West: New running back, Thomas Jones, seems happy to be playing with Matt Cassel. The Raiders did well in the draft, but could they blow their off season moves by signing T.O.? Shawne Merriman playing the role of victim? Yes, definitely a tough sell. Random: [...]

The Broncos had their first official off season workout today. To hardly anyone’s surprise, Tim Tebow’s performance was put under the microscope. True to the pecking order of the Broncos QB situation, Tebow reportedly fired less than 10 passes during the workout. Coach Josh McDaniels and Tebow’s focus is on getting the young gun acquainted with the system before letting the cannon loose. Tebow’s ability to be successful on the NFL stage remains under intense speculation. However, if there’s one thing Broncos fans can put money on, it’s the rookie’s willingness to work hard and do everything in his power to succeed. As many of [...]
