Merry Christmas

December 25th, 2008 - 4:30pm by Ryan TorainOther posts by Ryan Torain

Merry Christmas, everybody.

I’ve been having a pretty great holiday. Christmas Eve was great. I opened my presents at 12:00 last night, because my mom had mailed some out. She was in Texas for Christmas, so we had some presents last night. At least I waited until it was officially Christmas, so I can’t get in trouble with the family for opening early. I opened a few more this morning, too, though. We had a big dinner last night, too. Ate a couple of things — turkey, ham, everything.

As far as the rest of the day is going to go, I’m just kind of going to bounce around, see a couple friends. I’ve got a couple dinner invites, so I’ll just relax and just go with the flow.

I’m looking forward to watching the matchup with the Chargers this weekend. It’s going to be a great game, you know what I’m saying, because getting a win means we’re in. And you know because we got the win earlier in the year they’re going to come with a chip on their shoulder. It’s a do-or-die big game right here for us to go to the playoffs. Everybody’s just got to make big plays and have fun doing it.

For those of you that are going to want a predicition, I can’t call it. We’ve just got to be ready to play.

Someone asked last week if I’m going to keep writing the blog next season. The answer is sadly no — this was my rookie blog, and I’m sure I’ll pass the torch onto another first-year guy next season. I think we’ll wrap things up with the blog next week, kind of close out my first regular season in the NFL. So I’ll talk to you all next week, but let me say in advance that I really appreciate all of you that stuck with me through the whole season and read the blog.

See you next week.

Christmas with the Broncos

December 25th, 2008 - 2:19pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

The Broncos had to come into work on Christmas day, but Head Coach Mike Shanahan cut the team a little break. Practice was moved up an hour to end at noon, and the players didn’t have meetings afterward.

So what were the players going to do with the extra time on Christmas afternoon?

“My wife and I, we’re going to open up some presents that we got each other, and we’re going to decorate cookies — kind of start our own traditions for when we start a family,” Brett Kern said. “Then her sister and brother-in-law are driving from Ohio, went non-stop all through the night, so they’re coming in tonight and we’re going to have a little Christmas ham dinner. I’m looking forward to it.”

Cory Boyd said he wasn’t leaving the facilities right away, but he’s certainly ready to kick his feet up a little later in the day.

“To be honest with you, I’m about to go in there and watch some film of the day’s practice, then I’ll probably get on the bike a little bit and run,” he said. “Then I’ll go home, be with the fiance and just relax today. Then get back to work.”

Kenny Peterson said his family is too far away to fly into town, so he’ll hang out with some of his friends on the team. He also had the right idea — find the house with food.

“I’ll probably go to Ebenezer’s house or somebody who cooked.”

Happy Holidays

December 25th, 2007 - 6:11am by domonique_foxworthOther posts by domonique_foxworth

Happy Holidays to everyone.

I wish everybody a happy and fun and safe holiday season. I will keep it short since it is the holiday season and I don’t want to take up everybody’s time.

Hopefully you’ll be able to spend it with your family making good holiday memories. I have a lot of great holiday memories myself. I remember being a kid trying to sneak down to open the presents before Christmas and always getting caught. Those were the good old days. Christmas doesn’t quite have the same excitement as it did back then but it’s still a lot of fun. I still enjoy the season.

Frustrated Bronco

December 18th, 2007 - 10:43pm by domonique_foxworthOther posts by domonique_foxworth

Oh, the many frustrations of this season as a Denver Bronco.

We had another loss, another frustrating loss, against a team we feel like we could beat. That seems to be the story of the season. We come off a great game and then play poorly.

We have been extremely inconsistent. It’s frustrating missing the playoffs this year. It’s one of the many drawbacks of our inconsistency and the constant change that we’ve had especially as a defense. One of the most unfortunate things about having a season like this is the casualties we have around here as far as players are concerned. It’s just the way the business is if your team isn’t producing. Generally, someone has to pay the price. Sometimes coaches get cut, sometimes players get cut. Fan support thins. So there’s a lot of prices being paid around here right now.
