Hey guys , high from California. This is my first comment. I have to admit that when my husband first started listening to you I didn’t think that I could continue to listen because of “The Laugh” yes you know the one. Buuut…. I will say that it grew on me and I love listening to you every day. So every day we keep hearing you talk about strawberry sky. We don’t drink and we went out to find this beer because of you guys. Amazingly it was a block away at a gas station. A fancy gas station with a beer room lol. We both agree DAM GOOD BEER. One more thing, listening to you talk about Drew Lock makes us giggle…. You guys are such fan boys ? I love it. You guys are awesome.

So I know Ryan isn’t going to approve, but any chance to sign a speedster like deanthony Thomas for returns? Feels like we haven’t had a legit weapon since trinity holiday. Are we going to hold onto riddick you think? I feel like we’re in dire need of someone to “take the top off” the defense. That can change the whole aspect of the offense and keeping scang’s model of spreading the offense out making the defense cover every aspect of the field. Especially when Lock takes over and can really show off that arm. Speed kills. Lemme know what you guys think about adding a weapon with that 4.3 speed this year or next year in the draft. Bonus question, best late night drunk munchies food?

Ryan, thank you! The whole set up with the go fund me was a great idea. Thank you and Allie for digging in your own pockets as well. Nearly half way there! Thank you to everyone who has donated and for everyone letting me put this up. I am really blessed to be a part of this community and I am literatly brought to tears thinking about making her dream come true.

Yo R.K.,
If you want Bumpy’s mom to have those tickets, it’s in your power to make it happen.
Simply open the next Pod with the following words: “I’m Proud, To Be, a CSU Ram!!!” And really sell it. No prologue or preamble, just deliver the line.
I’ll cover the remaining balance on the GoFundMe as soon as I get back to Wi-Fi in the eve.
Haven’t even listened to this Pod yet, but here’s some quick hitters:
1. Surface Creek watershed near Cedaredge has an EPA rating of 100. I’ve tasted it, amazing. Naturita water tastes like dirt, that’s where I work.
2. Zac is an honorary Ram.
3. for Mr. B.
4. La Junta CO is the best place for Zac to get stampeded by tarantulas in the Fall.
5. Cold-Snack promises must (and will) be kept.
6. Regarding Buffs vs Rams, I got nothin’. We suck. I know how it feels to be a Raiders fan, I guess.

I forgot to add the link again but I am putting it on Boris’ comment just in case Ryan opens the pod with that line to make her dream come true!

It’s an honor to have they prestigious BSN comment badge, I’ll do what I can to bring grace and poise to the title.
No Broncos comment today, I just have to mention how you helped push me into Bachelor Nation RK. My fiancé was watching the bachelorette, and I was familiar with it though you talking about it, and I just ended up sitting through the episodes and now I’m hooked. BiP is must watch television on Mondays and Tuesdays in our house, we’re big Dylan fans, screw Blake. We’re also on the Mike Johnson for Bachelor bandwagon. Anyways, just to plug it again, Utah BSNers go join the BSN Broncos Fans in Utah Facebook group #FreeHoagie

It’s called retired kids & it is beer :30 somewhere on this 3rd. rock from da sun. You two remind me of an old married couple & you make me lol. GO BRONCOS

Thanks to everyone who’s joined our Facebook group. If there’s any other listeners living in Utah please come join the group! Ok on to my question. I’ve been a big fan of justin Simon’s basically since the get go and it’s great to hear how good of a camp he’s had. What are your expectations for justin this season? What’s his floor/ ceiling?

No question just a quick comment. I’m a kitchen manager for a restaurant in Seattle. I interviewed someone who’s last job was at a resort in Breckenridge. When I read Breckenridge it just came out “Damn Good Beer”. The person I was interviewing just looked at me kind of stunned and said “RK and Zac”. I just smiled and said BSN. He definitely got hired.

Man. My wife listens to one podcast and now shes cooking fish in the dishwasher and making ramen in our Keurig. Now its progressed to her grinding our coffee beans in the garbage disposal and cooling our pillows in the fridge. Things have gotten outta control!! Please no more crazy ideas.
On a more serious note, I am one of there very view that has faith in the offense. As long as they stay the course and we all trust the system, the o-line will continue to develop in Mike’s system and be a cohesive unit. I’m not saying they’re blowing off your socks, but we havent even gotten to the 2nd preseason game. When are you guys pushing the panic button?
Nathaniel Thiccett?
You dont make ramen in the Keurig. I dont even know how that would work ?

Hey guys finally got my hands on some strawberry sky and I have to say I’m disappointed with your review.
You do this beer an injustice with comments about how good it is well it’s even better then you described I found it about 5 miles from my house and when I brought it home and waited for it to get cold (which killed me by the way) I felt like a little kid. Any way after my first sip I said wow that’s a damn good beer. Very light and refreshing great flavor and it is defeinilty a good summer beer. Thanks for letting us all know about breckbrews my local beer distributor is gonna keep getting Breck for me. Keep up the good work and go broncos.

What up bromigos,
Just wanted to say how cool it was to watch Sua Cravens Instagram feed and see Phil wearing his homegrown t-shirt. I felt a little proud, Like that’s right BSN broncos baby!
Quick questions: Where do you guys get to watch the games? And what kind of break downs/recap can we expect once the season starts?
Thanks guys
Damn good podcast, Go Broncos

P.S. The No Fly Zone is gone. Why do we say Fangio’s defense? How about Fangi-D? (Phonetically FAN-gi-Dee)

Fangi-D sounds like something you don’t want to catch on a trip to Tijuana

Hey guys, first post after subscribing (go ahead Ryan, you can say it)…
I lived in SF during the years of his great defenses, and I can’t wait to see what he does with the great defense that Denver has in place. In your opinion, who on the Denver defense compares to some of the standouts from Vic’s SF defenses (Justin Smith, Aldon Smith, Bowman/Willis)?

Sup fellas! So let me begin by saying my girlfriend and my mom, as well as my friends have been subject to listening to the BSN pod with me in the car at some point. My girlfriend and mom in particular have pointed out Zacs laugh as being hilarious!
On to my story…my girlfriend comes in the house one day, and says that she heard someone at the grocery store listening to the pod as they were checking out. I didn’t believe it, seeing as I live in the city of Menifee, CA. Population about 120,000 and nestled in between San Diego and LA. I thought what are the chances. So naturally I questioned her! I said well how do you know for sure because there are quite a few Broncos podcasts out there. She says…….
“No! I’m sure it was yours because I HEARD THAT ONE GUYS LAUGH and that’s a one in a million!” I started bursting out in laughter and said oh okay I believe you!
Long story short it just goes to show that your hard work for BSN and on the pod have really made waves amongst Broncos country. And like the gentlemen at the store, I too listen to y’all whenever and wherever. Party on fellas! Much love!
MrFreeze
I have an unpopular opinion for this year for the Broncos. After that practice Friday this team should get what they can for Flacco and move forward with Lock. This offense is abismal and we’re still rebuilding. What’s the point in going for 6 or 7 wins? Unless this team has something up their sleeve there’s no way they’re making the playoffs and are just delaying the inevitable. I hope I’m wrong and I’ve always said defense wins championships but you gotta have a somewhat competent offense.
MrFreeze
I’ve called for the trading of Heuerman for quite some time but now I’m on to a new least favorite Bronco. Garrett Bolles is just downright awful. He doesn’t seem to learn from his mistakes. Horrible pick, I’d rather see Wilkerson in there developing.
SLC Broncos
Well guys, I did it. I bought my tickets to Week one In Oakland. It could turn out to be the worst best decision I make in my life. And I’m stoked. But I’m curious as for tonight’s game. How much time does Drew Lock get against the 49ers tonight?
THEUNFGVN3
Just gotta say is Zac is tight bubble gum in your ice cream is the best sorry Ryan but your missing out. My question to u guys is. Is there a chance that Flacco completely bombs the first half of the season and drew gets to step in and become starter
BleedOrangeBlue
I understand Ryan what you are saying about AB. He is an amazing talent on the football field. However, getting him to focus on football and getting him to the football field has been such a headache for the past 2-3yrs. How do you think the Steelers feel this training camp? Its smooth sailing for them. They will probably be a top 3 team in the AFC this year.
I just got tickets to the Chargers vs Broncos game on December 1st. I will be visiting my brother for Thanksgiving. Will you guys be available for a cold snack or maybe come by the office for a meet and greet?
Thanks for great coverage of my favorite team. Keep the giggles coming!

Seems like every year there’s a guy that’s in a bubble roster battle that one finds themself rooting for. Who are each of your players that you really hope make the team – can be from an Xs and Os perspective or just a guy that you like personally.
Mine is “Cray Cray” River Craycraft – cuz we never gunna survive unless we get a little cray cray, right?
Thanks

I’d like to thank RK, Zac, myself, and one other subscriber for my amazing commenter badge. I’d also like to mention that my entire family enjoyed a laugh at my expense for needing pity likes.
I’m very intrigued with this marathon v. 5K comparison regarding practices. If this is the case, and the Broncos are practicing for the long haul, do you guys think this could benefit them throughout the season (and ultimately lead to more wins) or wear them out faster?
GO BRONCOS!!!
Steve_Atwater_HOF
RK, I really like your idea to use a Mafia themed nickname for this years Defense. You could take it a step further by naming the superstars of this unit after famous hitmen of the past, or made up by this you guys or this community. What are some hitmen nicknames that you think would be fitting for some of these players?
NotPhillipLindsay
Hey guys
I’m going to keep this short. I just saw that Ryan Allen got released by the patriots. Considering Wadman’s struggles, do you think we will go for him?
BroncoMatt
When will the Gum Ball nightmare end? How many deep passes and big runs will we lose this year to Gum Ball Garret?
HtownBronco
Watching the game now. Into the second quarter. First team looks pretty good, except for the bum, GB. We are in trouble running this year on the left side by the looks of it. Every time we go left we get a negative yardage play.
Watching the game with some friends who are mostly Texans fans and 1 Ravens fan.
They think our defense is very scary and legit. They think offense looks really good too. But then make fun of us for drafting GB. They all think he’s complete garbage. And I can’t say anything back because it is true and I agree.
Don’t even get me started about that Sanders play that was called back because of the bum.
Hope our RBs like the right side.
kirksmith44
Bolles and a high draft pick for Trent Williams? Just cut the cord on this failure now. So sick of watching big plays get wiped out from his holding, or never getting the big play because he misses a block and the qb gets sacked. It’s one of the most important positions on the field. Get a competent left tackle at whatever the cost!
Nathaniel Thiccett?
Overall I was more impressed than I expected to be by the 1st and 2nd teams. Royce Freeman looked a little rough but I don’t think it’s anything he did wrong, just good defense.
Can’t wait until Wednesday to be mad about this but ESPN giving us a 6% chance to win the division is a huge slap to the face. I understand KC being at the top, but putting SD at 24% and us at 6% is plain disrespectful. What are your thoughts?
Ruan Pablo
Hey guys, after watching tonight’s game, and I never imagined I would ever say this, but I miss something from last years offense, the big plays, especially from the run, not the same open lanes that were always there last year so that Lindsay could be as amazing as he was, this year feels like the biggest run in these 3 games has been for 10 yards. Also, show we start to get concerned about the red zone offensive play calling and execution? Every time we get there always a field goal(except for the incredible run from Hogan mania). Anyway, thanks for the hard work, love the content you guys put out.
Lonestar Bronco
1: I know it’s preseason but contract extensions with Shelby Harris need to happen. The sooner maybe the cheaper he will be, similar to wolf. Dude is a stud.
2: Hope Fant and Lock recover very quick.
3:
4:Depth is not a thing in Denver.
5: GUMBALLS=trash.
Looking forward to your thoughts on the game.
Harry Urban
Should I be concerned with the run game, on both offence and defence? It seemed like the 9er’s knew every run play call and blew it up before it got started. Was Scang’s calling vanilla? The 9er’s ran all over us though. Not over reacting I hope?
Soooo, uhhhhhh, this Bradley Chubb guy…. Not too shabby! Also, is Bolles really that bad or is he just lazy? Sometimes I legitimately think he’s trying to get himself cut haha. Have a good one, we appreciate everything you guys do!
Mike Hawk
Hey y’all,
I’ve listened to this podcast for a little over a year now and I’ve been a subscriber since the last super bowl. I’ve been wanting to ask questions and leave comments but I’m always listening to the pod when I’m driving or doing a task, so I end up forgetting. This time around I’ve got to ask, is it time to seriously start worrying about gum balls? I’ve had stale gum before but this pack is definitely expired. I agree that some players are gamers and their level of play can increase once in a game time situation but GB is the exact opposite. He’s been solid enough in practices but once he’s in a big moment on the field. The holding penalties come out. It seems like GB panics once he’s getting beat and reverts back to his old habits. Being that he’s already 27, can he still freshen up and improve his game? Or is he just a chewed up gum ball holding on to the bottom of a bench?
Thank you for the great pods!

“Interesting comments from Bradley Chubb after the game to
@Rod9sports
. He said last year some guys had a “rebellious mindset” & that “coaches would say one thing & guys would do another.” That definitely speaks to the culture issue the Broncos are trying to reset under Fangio.”

Hey guys, it’s been a minute. This summer I have been doing a lot of salmon fishing. 6 coho & 8 pinks so far this year. Caught the beginning of the game and man! I got a Chubb! This is going to be the best sack dou in the history of the NFL. Hope Lock is ok, he was having a nice game while showing growth. Any good Cajun crawfish restaurants in the golden area or a town within reason? Cheers!
