Broncos Ramblings

Kim Constantinesco — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:15:34 +0000

The Broncos schedule is no walk in the park. Towards the end of the season, the team has 4 road games in 5 weeks. That doesn’t include their transatlantic trip to London on October 31st. My real complaint is that the Broncos don’t get more nationally televised games. They usually get 3-4 per season. This year, it’s just one. Does the league not have confidence in our coach?
Based on the schedule and our current roster, I’m going to predict a 9-7 record.
Yes, I picked Dez Bryant in the first round of the CBS Mock Draft. I had to duck and cover from all the tomatoes thrown at me on the message board. I was an inch away from selecting Rolando McClain, but the Broncos are seriously considering the wideout and realize that he may not be around when their 2nd round picks come. As we’ve seen in the past few Super Bowls, offense can win championships when a team has a defense that can make stops from time to time. The Broncos have nobody to throw to and I figure with the draft being so deep defensively, we can still make out like bandits with our later picks. What do I know though? I’m just a girl, and “MasterAgain” is a true MasterDebater.
While Tony Scheffler’s departure leaves a gaping hole in our offense, I’m looking forward to seeing what Daniel Graham and Richard Quinn can do with more time at the tight end spot. I was impressed by Quinn last year during training camp, and I’ve always been a big fan of Graham. If Scheffler wanted out, no sense in trying to keep him.

Other NFL Ramblings:

I would love to see Mike Shanahan work with McNabb and T.O. in D.C. That trio may be more functional than anyone in Congress.
The Jets just got better in the off season once again when they lured Jason Taylor from Miami. Without knowing if the Dolphins would resign him, Taylor signed with the Jets because it was the only contract offer on the table. The Dolphins are going to regret that decision come September.
Big Ben is getting a big suspension (4-6 games) for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. I can’t believe the Steelers are considering trading him. When you have a franchise QB, you don’t put him up on the trade block. He’s got a big Scarlet letter on him right now, and the Steelers are the kind of team where image comes first.

A Guide For Sponsers On NFL Practice Jerseys

Kim Constantinesco — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:01:41 +0000

Just when you thought you couldn’t see any more advertisements in the NFL, some teams such as the Broncos and Packers are considering placing ads on practice jerseys. If all teams do this in the future (which I see happening), these sponsorships should be used for the jerseys of these NFL players:

Brett Favre: “Aricept” the drug that slows the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease would best be suited on Favre’s jersey. He keeps forgetting that he enters retirement as soon as the season ends only to come back the following year.

Chad Ochocinco: “Travelocity” belongs on his jersey. Always looking for a way out of town, and any reason not to attend off season workouts, Ochocinco needs a vaca.

Jeremy Shockey: ”Gatorade” or “Jose Cuervo” depending on your perspective. After being found unconscious outside of a Las Vegas pool party, Shockey was taken to a local hospital on a stretcher after suffering a bout of “dehydration.”

Michael Vick: “ASPCA.” That’s an easy one.

“Plaxico Burress: “GunLocker.com” I heard from the nightclub owners that he was in fact shooting at the Chiefs running back Larry Johnson who had just spit a drink in his face, but Pac Man Jones slapped the gun down at the last second. Hmm… either way, dude needs to leave his gun at home.

Albert Haynesworth: ”U.S. Mint Tours.” Sure, the U.S. Mint doesn’t need to advertise, but they should since the $100 million man just went to the biggest city where money is made.

Jay Cutler: “Verizon Wireless.” Mr. Out of Touch needs a better connection to reach his new coach.

Maretellus Bennett: “Cap N Crunch.” This Cowboy steers away from the traditional Texas breakfast of biscuits and gravy and goes straight for the crunch. Watch.

Jason Taylor: “FedEx.” This Dolphin was quickly shipped back to Miami after a short stint in D.C. ”When it absolutely positively has to get there overnight.”

All of the New York Jets and Giants: “Lebron James In BKLYN.” What New Yorker doesn’t want to see the King play in the county of Kings?

Travis Henry : “Trojan Condoms” on the front of a jailbird jersey. This dude has 9 kids with 9 women and claims he’s broke. He could educate some people.
