On Thursday, the NFL announced a change in scheduling for late afternoon doubleheader games on CBS and FOX.
Games that previously kicked off at 2:15 p.m. MT will now move 10 minutes later to a 2:25 p.m. MT kickoff.
The change is designed to reduce overlaps with the end of 11 a.m. MT games. Any kickoffs at 2:05 p.m. MT — the Broncos have three — will remain unchanged.
The move currently affects four Broncos games this season — Week 3 vs. Houston, Week 5 at New England, Week 11 vs. San Diego and Week 17 at Kansas City.
As part of the league’s flex scheduling policy, the Broncos’ Week 15 matchup in Baltimore could also be moved into the late-game spot, meaning a move to a 2:25 p.m. MT kick.
The reasoning behind the shift in kickoff time is to allow more fans to see more football. It is designed to reduce instances in which fans miss the end of an 11 a.m. MT game on television because of the opening kickoff of their home team’s late game.
Before making the change, the NFL analyzed games during the 2009 through 2011 seasons and found that 44 games required part of the audience to be switched to the kickoff of a late game prior to the end of the early game. With a 2:25 p.m. MT kickoff time, that number would have been reduced to just 15 games — a 66 percent decrease.
The fan-friendly change will affect approximately 40 games over the course of the 2012 season.
Here is a printable version of the Broncos’ updated 2012 schedule.

Can’t find my Damn Skynyrd concert,I guess it’ll be Molly Hatchet,still southern style!!!!!!!!!
49ers first round pick last year Aldon Smith was hurt in a stabbing last night at house party…. I am soooo thankful the Broncos have moved on from drafting players who make questionable decisions!!! It’s good to have a locker room FULL of quality players on and off the field!!
Amen MM15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some early AC/DC with Bon Scott…ahhhhhhhh the memories!
You know they call AC/DC the Monsters of Rock…….they are the real deal!!!!
BLB… How you been my Bronco brother??? It’s been awhile!!!!

Sorry about the fires bro…I wished I could help!
and The weekend is great for beer!!!
blb…. Angus Young is a great guitar player no doubt, and I respect the hell outta your opinion. But I want to chime in my two cents….
He is definitely top 5 for sure, but for me it goes a little something like this….
1. Jimmy Page
2. Jimi Hendrix
3. Eric Clapton
4. Stevie Ray Vaughn
5. Angus Young
For me it doesn’t get any better then LED ZEPPELIN!!!
Who are your top 5????
thanks blb… It’s Mother Nature just unleashing her FURY!!! not much we can do but try to contain it the best we can…
Your top 5 looks pretty Damn good to me,but I would have to put Zack Wylde(OZZY) in at least top 3!!!
1.Angus Young
2.Jimmy Page
3.Zack Wylde
4.Jimi Hendrix
5.Ted Nugent
Man I got a leaning tower of pizza 18 cans high and growing,LMAO!
Nice top 5 also…
there are a number of amazing guitarists its hard to pick just 5….
Jeff Beck
kirk Hammett
BB King
Mike McCready (I’m not sure if that’s how you spell it)..
etc…
etc…
etc…
I know dude,there is Ritchie Blackmore and Tommy Bolin!
Don’t forget Keith Richards or Carlos Santana….
Man I love me some ROCK N ROLL!!!!!
But I have to admit, AC/DC said it best….
“FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK, WE SALUTE YOU”!!!!!!
But if you were here with me watching Angus Young on guitar,it would be hard to say there is anyone any better on guitar in the world,I guess I am a diehard AC/DC fan bro!
The guy played it with his freaking tie,LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock and Roll rules forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AC/DC does in fact ROCK, thats for sure!!
For those about to rock(we salute you) is their last song in every concert,sorta a best for last song…it kicks ass!!!!!!!

Even the Denver Post is struggling to come up with news so they’re making stuff up: http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/2012/07/01/reasons-broncos-win-2012/14104/
http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/2012/07/01/reasons-broncos-struggle-2012/14106/
The comment on the why we might struggle one is hilarious!! Peyton Freaking Manning!!!!
While I am as confident as ever in this upcoming season, those top 2 reasons are very likely as to why we may struggle this year… This schedule is ridiculous and while Peyton has been putting in work since day 1 of signing the contract, come gametime he may not be on the same page right away. Although after the first preseason game when he goes 10/12 135 yrds and 2 tds then comes out after 2 drives Ill quickly get that koolaid flowing back to visions of a 13 win season!!
The available cap space for Denver Denver Broncos: $10,878,461

10 Sundays from now the Denver Broncos would be getting ready for their Sunday night game vs the Steelers.
Good Morning football fans, I know how important football is to all us fans so thought I’d share,
Only in Louisiana
The year is 2016 and the United States has just elected the first woman, a LSU graduate, as President of the United States , Susan Boudreaux.
A few days after the election the president-elect calls her father in Baton Rouge and says, ‘So, Dad, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?’
‘I don’t think so. It’s a 30 hour drive, your mother isn’t as young as she used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again.’
‘Don’t worry about it Dad, I’ll send Air Force One to pick you up and take you home. And a limousine will pick you up at your door.’
‘I don’t know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?’
‘Oh Dad,’ replies Susan, ‘I’ll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by the best designer in New York .’
‘Honey,’ Dad complains, ‘you know I can’t eat those rich foods you and your friends like to eat.’
The President-to-be responds, ‘Don’t worry Dad. The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in New York , I’ll ensure your meals are salt free Dad, I really want you to come.’ So Dad reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2017, Susan Boudreaux is being sworn in as President of the United States .
In the front row sits the new president’s Dad and Mom.
Dad noticing a senator sitting next to him leans over and whispers, ‘You see that woman over there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States.’ The Senator whispers back, ‘Yes I do.’
Dad says proudly, ‘Her brother played football at LSU. ‘
LOL!!!! Wolfedom that made me laugh real hard…. too funny!!!
Thanks for sharing that!!!
Alright Broncos Country.. and OSS…. Here are my first two BBBP’s…..
1. DMT has 1523 yards receiving and 11 TD’s!
2. Champ Bailey has 7 INT’s with 2 pick sixes!
Since I have two BBPS before camp. Here they are. Much thought to this.
Eric Page not only makes the 53 man roster but has 5 KR and 3 PR for TDs and makes the Pro Bowl as a Returner.
Danny Treviathan gets 89 tackles 8 sacks 3 INTS 9 Forced Fumbles 4 fumble recoveries 1 FR for a TD 1 pick 6 and a sack for a safety.
Going with the Rooks this time.
MM: Got your BBBPs
AB: Got yours. You missed Trev also making sure everybody’s properly hydrated. LOL.
At the moment I have 72 BBBPs. About 1/3 are already shot down including 2 of my 3. BBBLLLEEEHHH!!!
Strand informed me a little while ago that he would be returning home at 8 tonight. I am guessing he is going to get on the blogs but just wanted to let everyone know that he is okay and his home and family are as well!

Hey Gang! Just popping in to say hi. 12:50 am here and we’re still plugging away at refinishing our kitchen cabinets. We’re kinda DIY junkies…….but man it’s a lot of work!
Just wishing all my fellow Canadians a happy Canada Day! Hope it was as nice everywhere else as it was here……30 degrees and nothing but sunshine.

Kod, I thought I was in the movie Dontas Peak. It was crazy. It had taken us 2 1/2 hours to get down the hill from where I live which usually only takes 5 minutes. It was Armaggedon in my freakin yard. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers everybody!!
A special thanks to Freak for being my mouth-piece through these troublesome times.
