Stay Tuned After the Super Bowl…

January 28th, 2009 - 1:39am by Romi BeanOther posts by

Hi Everyone!! I can’t believe the next game of the season is the SUPER BOWL!! I’m sure that quite a few people aren’t surprised to see Pittsburgh make it to the Super Bowl, but I don’t think many predicted that the Arizona Cardinals would be their opponents! The match-up should make for a very interesting game; hopefully, it is action packed and a battle to the end! Though the Super Bowl is the next game on everyone’s mind, today I want to skip ahead one week to the 2009 Pro Bowl.

The Pro Bowl will be held on February 8, 2009, one week after the Super Bowl champions have been crowned. The Pro Bowl pits the paramount players of the AFC against the finest of the NFC.

Wiegmann Heading to Hawaii

January 13th, 2009 - 12:56pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall already have their tickets to the NFL’s annual all-star game, but now they’ll have a little company.

Casey Wiegmann will now join them in the 2009 Pro Bowl in February. He was listed as the first alternate at center, but with Kevin Mawae of the Titans bowing out of the game due to his torn triceps muscle, Wiegmann steps into the lineup.

This marks the first trip to the Pro Bowl for Wiegmann, who just wrapped up his 13th year in the league and first with the Broncos. He has started 127 consecutive games, the longest active streak among centers in the NFL.

The game will be played on Sunday, Feb. 8, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu at 2:30 p.m. MST and will be televised by NBC.

A ‘Dangerous’ Game

December 18th, 2008 - 4:32pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

It has been well advertised that the Broncos have a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a win on Sunday. The Buffalo Bills are the team to beat, and at 6-8, losers of three-in-a-row, some people might think Sunday is a foregone conclusion.

But Brandon Marshall says not so fast. Just because the Bills are eliminated from the playoffs doesn’t mean they don’t have the ability to come into INVESCO and get a win.

“If a team is not in the playoffs, they want to take somebody home with them,” Marshall said. “It is not easy. A lot of people think, ‘Oh, you are going up against a team that is 6-8,’ but those teams are the ones you don’t want to see at the end of the season when you need a win. They are dangerous.”

But at the same time, Denver has won four of its last six, and with the No. 2 offense in the league, not many people want to see the Broncos come the end of the year, either.

“We are dangerous on the offensive side of the ball and we play with confidence,” Marshall said. “If we limit our mistakes against Buffalo, we can be dangerous on Sunday.”

A Pair of Pro Bowlers

December 16th, 2008 - 3:11pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

In just their third year in the NFL, Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall have made their mark upon the league.

Cutler and Marshall will represent the Denver Broncos in the Pro Bowl.

It began with fan voters who made them two of the top vote getters, and now it is official after players and coaches around the league have voted.

It marks the first time for both players at the annual all-star game, which will be played on Sunday, Feb. 8, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu at 2:30 p.m. MST and will be televised by NBC.

Fan Results Are In…

December 11th, 2008 - 1:10pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by

Fan voting has concluded for the Pro Bowl, and citizens of Broncos Country have made their voices heard.

Brandon Marshall ranks No. 1 in vote getters for AFC wide receivers, and Champ Bailey also ranks No. 1 in the AFC at cornerback.

Marshall received 416,791 votes, good for the third-highest leading total in the AFC, while Bailey got 283,155.

The results announced today are just the top overall vote getters in the AFC and NFC as well as the top vote getters for each position. In other words, we don’t know where other Broncos rank in the big scheme of things — this doesn’t mean that Bailey and Marshall are the only two Broncos with a shot at making the trip to Hawaii.

Also, players and coaches have yet to cast their votes for the Pro Bowl, which will be played on February 8, 2009.

The full AFC and NFC Pro Bowl teams will be announced next Tuesday, December 16.

Pro Bowl Voting Closes at 10 a.m.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
