Pro Bowl Voting Closes at 10 a.m.

December 8th, 2008 - 7:17pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

Just a quick reminder — Pro Bowl voting closes at 10 a.m. MST on Tuesday.

At last update, Champ Bailey was the No. 1 AFC cornerback, Jay Cutler was the No. 3 AFC quarterback and Brandon Marshall was the No. 1 AFC wide receiver. Matt Prater fell to outside of the top five at kicker.

There ends the representation of the 8-5 Denver Broncos in the Pro Bowl if voting ended right now. But Broncos Country citizens have until tomorrow morning to make their voices heard.

So go out and vote for the Broncos you feel are most deserving. Time’s almost up.

Pro Bowl Voting Update

November 18th, 2008 - 4:31pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by Gray Caldwell

The list of the top five vote-getters at each position was released today, as well as the top 10 overall Pro Bowl candidates.

As it stands right now, Jay Cutler is the No. 8 vote-getter overall, and the No. 2 vote-getter in the AFC, behind Brett Favre.

Obviously that means Cutler is the second quarterback for the AFC team right now.

Brandon Marshall and Champ Bailey each lead their position in votes for the AFC squad, and Matt Prater is fifth on the list of AFC kickers.

As of right now, the Washington Redskins have many of their players in the top spots in the NFC because their fans are voting so often. There are plenty of other deserving Broncos, so click here to vote for your favorites.

Film School

March 6th, 2008 - 11:40am by MilesOther posts by Miles

So after some patient waiting, my friend Blitz from the Seahawks has delivered on his promise.  He volunteered to take all of our photos and make a slideshow out of them.  I think he did a bang up job!  Good to know if the mascot gig goes south, he could do the same and work in Hollywood or something.  Thanks Blitz!

Enjoy the show!

This Just In!

February 26th, 2008 - 4:07pm by MilesOther posts by Miles

Well, “just” is kind of a stretch, but I’ve got an update from the Pro Bowl.  It took a while for the film to arrive via steamship, then the processing of the film, and finally the printing of the photos but that’s the way things are (in 1920).  The truth is, it’s hard to get motivated in the offseason.  But I vow to do a better job.

Now…Pro Bowl.  Every time I tell people I’m going to the Pro Bowl they always say, “Wow, must be nice!”  But you can never really get it into people’s heads that I’m there to work.  It’s not like they pay for my ticket and hotel room and just say, “Enjoy Hawaii!” It’s nice to be working in Hawaii but, it’s still work.  I really don’t envy people who hate their jobs, because mine is so awesome.

Now, while in Hawaii we visited a couple military bases, some hospitals, the NFL Experience, the Special Olympics, did the Block Party, Ohana (Family in Hawaiian) Day, Pregame Party and, of course, the game.  Obviously I didn’t list all the events, but just a sample to give you guys an idea of what goes on.  There were 12 of us over there and we split up to cover the events, so we didn’t all attend all of the events.

Don’t Be Fooled by Critics of the Pro Bowl

February 12th, 2008 - 8:40am by jim_saccomanoOther posts by jim_saccomano

The press has a very influential role in our society.  It presents the news, reports the news, and tells us what is going on in the world.

And sometimes it instructs us in what we are supposed to think and believe.  When it does that, it is counting on our cooperation in believing what it tells us, with the hope and confidence that we will not think for ourselves and form our own opinions.

Every year about this time I observe an example of this:  the Pro Bowl.

Last Sunday the NFL season ended entirely with the annual playing of the Pro Bowl, the NFL all-star game, which is about to end a 30-year run in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Presently there are discussions about whether or not to extend the contract in Hawaii, and while none of us knows what the result will be, one thing we do know is that the Pro Bowl remains very unpopular with the press, and very popular with the public.

It’s Awards Season!

January 16th, 2008 - 3:48pm by MilesOther posts by Miles

I’m not talking about the Golden Globes, or even postseason NFL honors (although I’ll talk about that too!) What I’m talking about is Forbes Horse of the Year! OK it’s not Horse of the Year, but they did make a list of the Top 10 Sports Mascots, and guess who’s on that list…Yes, the Philly Phanatic (He’s #1). Your favorite horse is on there too!

Forbes Cover

Check out the list and corresponding article here. They even mention the blog!

There’s a few questionable picks on the list. Only because a few aren’t even official team mascots. One is not even alive, it’s a stuffed doll. The NFL is represented by Rowdy (Cowboys) Sourdough Sam (49ers) and myself. They explain in the article that they use an equation called an index that takes into account of bunch of stuff I’m not quite sure I understand. Basically they ask people about sports mascots. If they know their names, their teams, how popular they are, how much they like them, etc. Then they take their responses and put them through this equation. Long story short is, across the nation people recognize the Broncos team and me and they like us!

How do you think the other mascots measure up?

P.S.

I forgot to talk about the postseason honors. I will be attending the Pro Bowl this year. There will be more info on this later, and possibly some blog entries from the Islands. Stay tuned…
