Hey look, it’s the first QB controversy of summer
The Rockies didn’t trade Trevor Story, so that’s pretty much the last bit of intrigue for baseball season in Colorado, just in time for the early days of Broncos training camp....

Packers complaining about tampering is ridiculous
Aaron Rodgers is an outdated cry-baby and the Packers front office is equally bad. Apparently, the Packers are yelling “that’s not fair” and saying other teams, including the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, “tampered” with Rodgers by letting him know that they were interested in trading for ...
Deadspin’s Super Bowl trivia extravaganza will test your NFL fan cred & get you pumped for gametime
Before we all settle into our La-Z-Boys with a tall boy and too many wings for Super Bowl LV on Sunday, we need to do some exercise. But fear not, we just mean brain exercise — as in Super Bowl trivia! We’ll ask you about players, teams, venues and esoterica. When you think you know the answer to th...
The first player to say “I’m going to Disney World” after winning the Super Bowl wasn’t the only one paid to do so that day
When you wish upon a star, sometimes it makes a difference who you are. ...
Which teams went 0-4 in the Super Bowl?
The Minnesota Vikings are the super failures you never hear about (thanks a lot, Buffalo). Like the Bills, the Vikings also lost four Super Bowls — but over the course of eight years, not four....
How very white of Brett Favre to blast Deshaun Watson for following his own playbook
Wednesday night, as the Olympic Channel was showing last weekend’s women’s super-G from Garmisch Partenkirchen, Germany, the commercial breaks were the standard fare for a niche sports channel, targeting the key demographic of middle-aged men....
We Rank the Best No. 1 NFL Draft Pick Quarterbacks of All Time
Quarterbacks have had a pretty significant impact on the history of the NFL. They are often the most important players on the field on any given Sunday....
The Denver Broncos Are Now Living In A World Of Piss
The Denver Broncos are one of three 0-4 NFL teams (assuming no tie, there should be one more after Bengals-Steelers tonight), and they’ve achieved that record thanks to generous helpings of incompetence and rotten luck. Also, they’ll now have to ride out the rest of this season without one of their ...
John Elway On His Struggling Left Tackle Garett Bolles: "Does He Know What Holding Is?"
The start of this NFL season has been frustrating for the Broncos, who dropped their Monday night opener in Oakland then lost to the Bears because of a soft roughing-the-passer penalty on Bradley Chubb. There are many culprits to blame for the team’s general malaise on offense, and one of them is ...
Denver's Joe Flacco Trade Gets The Coveted Mike Francesa Seal Of Approval
John Elway has a very poor history of acquiring quarterbacks for his Denver Broncos. This isn’t to say he can’t do it, or that he’s doomed to failure, or even that all his failures to date are necessarily his fault. Maybe he’s been really unlucky! Point is, if you’re looking for evidence that being ...
John Elway Will Trade A Pick He Would've Screwed Up Anyway For Joe Flacco
Last season’s Denver Broncos went 6-10 with an unimpressive 30-year-old quarterback, putting them in position to pick in the top 10 for the third time in the last 27 years. Their poor record, formidable division, and need to actually rebuild would seem to make them a curious candidate to pay up for...
Broncos Owner's Son Goes On Some Kind Of Rant About Mike Shanahan And Vic Fangio
The Denver Broncos’ season is over and their coaching staff has mostly been filled out, but the protracted fight over which of owner Pat Bowlen’s children will take over the team is still raging on. The lucky kid will either be Bethany Bowlen Wallace or Brittany Bowlen. It will most certainly not be...
The Broncos' Arrangement With Gary Kubiak Has Deteriorated Quickly
Two days after Gary Kubiak was tabbed as the next offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos, Gary Kubiak will not be the next offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos....
What Is John Elway Talking About In This Inane Political Ad?
As a general rule, vague political advertisements are vague for a reason. Everything is broken and sinking and extremely on fire, but we’re not yet at the level of Shitworld where unpopular and unappealing ideas can effectively be presented as themselves and on their own merits. We are heading in th...
John Elway And The Broncos Admit Defeat On First-Round Pick Paxton Lynch
Broncos GM John Elway’s reputation for assessing quarterback talent took another hit today when the team announced that they were cutting Paxton Lynch from their 53-man roster to make room for Kevin Hogan. Denver took Lynch in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft with the 26th overall pick....
The Broncos Are A Mess
The Broncos started the season 3-1 and looked decent while doing it. But Week 6, after the bye week, brought an embarrassing loss to the Giants, and things have somehow gotten worse since then. Yesterday’s 20-17 loss to the Bengals has them at 3-7 and in last place in the AFC West....
John Elway Writes Letter Endorsing Supreme Court Nominee, For Some Reason
There are a great many topics on which one might seek the wisdom of former Hall-of-Fame quarterback and current Broncos GM John Elway. For instance: how to throw a football real far, or how to avoid paying a shit-ton of money to a bad QB just because he can throw a football real far....
Sounds Like Some Bad Blood Between The Broncos And Brock Osweiler
Brock Osweiler feels he’s more likely to be successful with the Texans than he would have been with the Broncos. The Broncos believe they’re better off without Osweiler at QB for the price he was asking. I’m sure we all have strong feelings on who is correct (it could be both! It could be neither.),...
John Elway Thanks John Elway For Being So Dandy
Was it a slip of the tongue by John Elway at his conference today, or the truth? Hell, you've earned it, John. Thank yourself....
