“There’s no hard feelings at all.”
“So said former Broncos running back and new Baltimore Raven Mike Anderson, who succinctly said that “business is business,” when asked about how he felt looking back at the end of his six-year stint in Denver.
“It is always tough to part (with players like Anderson and Trevor Pryce), and the salary cap has a lot to do with those things,” Head Coach Mike Shanahan said.
Yesterday, I wrote about Pryce, who was released along with Anderson and was introduced to Baltimore along with his fellow former Bronco at a press conference in March. But Pryce told The Denver Post that he didn’t want to talk about the upcoming return leading into Monday night’s game.
Anderson, however, did. Click here and then scroll down to “Mike Anderson Presser” and click again to see what he had to say to a gaggle of media gathered alongside Baltimore’s practice field.
A few snippets:
On going back to INVESCO Field at Mile High: “It is going to be strange stepping in there, thinking about it, to this day, I don’t think I’ve ever been in that stadium in the visiting locker room.”
On getting used to the Ravens: “There have been some changes, but for me as I look at it, change is good.”
On whether he’d like more carries than the nine he’s had in four games this year: “Of course. I’m a runner. But that’ll come in due time.”
SHAMELESS PLUG TIME:
Click here to read about a game that’s been largely forgotten in Broncos lore, a November 1977 clash between the Broncos and Baltimore Colts. Both teams entered tied for the league’s best record at 9-1, but the Broncos’ win put them atop the NFL heap as that December arrived.

No ill feelings my you-know-what. Nine carries in 4 games is not what Mike had in mind when he went to Baltimore, and he has to believe he’d still be the guy if he were in Denver since he was one of Shanny’s favorites.
I was sad to see home go, but the Broncos backs are better now than they were last year…..

Hey Andrew, you’re a great writer and it shows– My only advice would be to use your spellcheck and proofread these things more– I can think of 3-4 gramatical errors I have caught so far this season, so that leads me to believe there are more I haven’t seen… For example, in today’s blog and in the Sauerbrun story on the main page- you have would spelled ‘wwould’ in a quote of Ernster… Not a big deal, but remember there are 1,000,000 people who would like to have your job (myself included)- you’re in the big leagues now
Keep up the good work otherwise.
