    Yes We Ca ... Uh, No We Can't. Put Away The Glove, Brandon

    As we mentioned this morning, one of the great end zone celebration gestures of all time was cruelly aborted last night when Brandon Marshall scored the winning touchdown in the Broncos' 34-30 triumph over the Browns in Cleveland. In the video below you'll hear Marshall explain how he reached into his pants and withdrew a black-and-white glove, intending to put it on and raise a fist in honor of Barack Obama's election. And as you see, he was quickly surrounded by white guys who told him to cool it. More »

    Quinn's Debut Inspires A Nation, Browns Lose As Usual

    With all the excitement over the big stimulus package that was the debut of Brady Quinn and the return of Kellen Winslow — turns out they're real, and they're fantastic — we all ignored the real issues: Jay Cutler and Brandon McDonald. The shy, self-effacing Broncos quarterback threw for 447 yards and three touchdowns, two of those over the mannequin-like McDonald, who also dropped two interceptions. And there you have it, folks: 34-30, Broncos; just like the old days. More »

    Jay Cutler Out to Prove his Arm is Bigger Than His Mouth

    Tonight, the Denver Broncos and mouthy quarterback Jay Cutler swagger into Foxboro and will attempt to frustrate the completely neutralized New England Patriots on their home field. Even though the Pats do not remotely resemble anything close to the juggernaut they were last year, they're still favored by three points. Somebody in Vegas must think that Matt Cassel is destined for a career defining game even though he's coming off a week of putridity. Cutler, on the other hand, is one of the league leaders in passing this season and, of course, disrespecting Phillip Rivers and John Elway. One could only imagine what kind of thoughts he has about poor Cassel. More »

    Jay Cutler's Love Affair With His Own Opinions Continues

    Is Jay Cutler under the impression that he's under oath every time he's asked a question by the media? Sure, it's entertaining for all of us, but eventually the Broncos quarterback is going to talk himself into trouble. While appearing on Fox's The Best Damn Sports Show Period on Thursday, Cutler was asked by Chris Rose to vent his feelings on Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. Instead of doing what I would do — talk about the economy — Cutler decided that he would answer the question honestly. Sigh. The young man has a lot to learn. More »

    Details In Travis Henry Drug Bust Emerge; Will Soon Become A Martin Scorcese Movie

    Below is the arrest affidavit on the Travis Henry drug bust from Wednesday, and it's fascinating reading, or at least as good as a typical episode of The Wire. All the requisite elements for a compelling cop drama are there, including a snitch, a sting operation, a drug ripoff, and Henry himself threatening to kill every member of the informant's family if some stolen drug money is not returned. The kicker: When authorities arrive at his home to arrest him, the former Broncos running back tries to flee on foot, but is "apprehended after a short chase." Prompting The Latest Word to say: "Some things never change." More »

    Ex-Bronco Travis Henry's New Career Not Working Out So Well

    It's safe to say that Travis Henry's last year or so has been a little rough. Signed by the Denver Broncos before the 2007 season, the former Bills and Titans running back immediately failed a drug test (which he challenged and won), then put up an mediocre 691 yards rushing in 12 games, before being unceremoniously dumped over the summer after Mike Shanahan said he was "too inconsistent as a person." (Ouch. That's a new one.) So he did what any 29-year-old football veteran who realizes his career is over way sooner than he expected would do — he decided to sell some cocaine. More »

    Elway Engaged To Former Raiderette

    Former Denver Broncos superstar John Elway is engaged—to a former Raiders cheerleader. Traitor bastard! Paige Green, a 41-year-old that Elway met at a golf tournament three years ago, moved to Denver a year after she met the NFL Hall-Of-Famer. John presumably celebrated the engagement in typical Elway fashion: by coming from behind. More »

    Broncos Embrace Their Glam Rock Heritage, Welcome Back Gary Glitter

    Who knows where the city of Denver's love affair with Gary Glitter began? His song Rock and Roll Part II has been a staple of the Denver sports scene forever, and was most notably heard at Broncos games every time the team got into the end zone.Then Glitter was convicted of having sex with underage girls, and spent three years in a Vietnamese prison. Awk-ward. So suddenly you didn't hear the song at Broncos games anymore. But good news, Broncos fans! Glitter's out of the can! And that means that Rock and Roll Part II is back on the Invesco Field loudspeakers! Who cares about negative connotations? Let's party, Denver! More »

    All Of The Lateral Flys In The World Could Not Make Ed Hochuli Feel Better Right Now

    After Sunday's spastic whistle-blowing by big-armed referee Ed Hochuli cost the San Diego Chargers a victory in their shootout against Denver, the NFL has acted swiftly and strongly, downgrading the 19-year veteran for his error, which could impact his playoff game status and possibly his career. The NFL Referees Association issued a statement to the AP and is standing by Hochuli, trying their best to not let one of their most popular referees have an entire career blemished by his one atrocious call. And Hochuli is apparently going out of his way to apologize to furious San Diegans everywhere, many of whom bombarded him with emails at his law firm, according to the San Diego Tribune. In fact, Hochuli has reportedly responded to many fans with this email message where he gets all William Styron on everyone's asses. More »
