Today in the NCAA Men’s basketball tournament, UNLV (seeded 7th) beat Wisconsin (seeded 2nd) 74-68 (New York Times link, Sports Illustrated “Meet the New Rebels“). The Rebels will advance to the Sweet Sixteen round and will face the University of Oregon. I had planned on watching the 11:30 A.M. when we returned from church. However, [...]

Hot WIfe and I just finished watching one of the most amazing sporting events we have ever seen. We were both rooting for Boise State to beat Oklahoma and it seemed like they had the game locked up when they were ahead 28-10 in the third quarter. Then Boise State made some mistakes, Oklahoma scored [...]

I was shocked and saddened to hear that Bronco cornerback, Darrent Williams was killed (link) early on New Years morning. This was the first thing that I heard on the news this morning and the tragic death of a 24-year old talented athlete really puts yesterday’s loss and not making the playoffs in perspective. Wiliams [...]
Broncos Lose in Overtime, Miss Playoffs

Despite having a four game slide in the middle of the season, the Denver Broncos managed to play a good enough season and only needed a win or a tie against the San Francisco today to get a wild card spot in the NFL playoffs. Well, they almost got the tie. The Broncos offense failed [...]
Broncos Lose With A New Quarterback
December 4, 2006
No comments
With the Broncos giving up five turnovers on Sunday night, it was amazing that the game was close enough to come down to a 50-yard field goal by Seattle with four seconds left in the game. Jay Cutler played OK for his first NFL game. He did throw two interceptions including a ridiculous desperation pass [...]
Broncos Start Jay Cutler Tonight

I am literally at the edge of my seat tonight as I prepare myself mentally and physically for tonight’s game where the Broncos host the Seahawks. Denver is benching veteran quarterback Jake Plummer in favor of rookie Jay Cutler who hasn’t taken a snap since the preseason. Personally, I would have taken the conservative route [...]

Yesterday I got walloped with some sort of nasty illness. Luckily I worked late on Wednesday so I was able to take off early at 3:00 PM on Friday. I got a haircut on the way home (I wasn’t going to get off early from work and let it go to waste) and collapsed on [...]
The Cirrus SR20 Crash in Manhattan

I was shocked and saddened by today’s crash of Kevin Lidle’s Cirrus SR20 today in Manhattan. The only good thing is that no one was killed in the building despite a pretty severe fire. The plane didn’t penetrate the building and the fire didn’t spread too far. Since most of the injuries were of firefighters [...]
Broncos Beat the Ravens 13-3

Tonight’s Monday Night Football game was a fantastic low-scoring defensive slog. Played in 38° rainy cold weather, as expected two great defenses kept the game a very close 3-3 tie most of the game. It kept me on the edge of my seat. The Broncos defense is looking fantastic. They had three interceptions including one [...]
