The Modern Audience is Multimedia

April 30th, 2013 - 10:11am by jim_saccomano

In the last two weeks we have had the release of the 2013 National Football League schedule and the completion of the player draft, but both events providing ample proof of how thoroughly the sports watching landscape has evolved.

Evolution is not just a part of ancient history, but continues daily in every aspect of life and society. There is always the new and better light bulb.

First to the schedule.

The Denver Broncos will host the opening Thursday night game for the first time in franchise history, and in fact this will be the first time the season kickoff game will take place west of the Mississippi.

That is a really big deal, as for the first hundred years of pro sports in America (roughly 1860 until about 1950) pro sports ended in St. Louis, right on the banks of the Mississippi. That river has played as big a role in American sport as in the westward expansion of the entire nation.

Broncos Trade Fourth-Round Selection

April 27th, 2013 - 10:32am by Gray Caldwell

The Broncos entered the 2013 NFL Draft without a sixth-rounder.

On Saturday, they changed that by trading the 125th overall selection in the draft to the Green Bay Packers for the 146th (5th round) and 173rd (6th round) picks.

The Packers selected UCLA running back Johnathan Franklin at 125.

Denver now has four picks remaining in the draft:

Fifth round, 13th pick, 146 overall
Fifth round, 28th pick, 161 overall
Sixth round, 5th pick, 173 overall
Seventh round, 28th pick, 234 overall
