The 1980s
My grandparents once showed up unannounced with a cockatoo and promptly left to us with the beast in then in our care. The bird could swear like Alex Gibbs and would do so mostly in the dead of night whilst we tried to slumber.
One day during a playoff game I Punctured my waterbed with a letter opener on accident.
I never understood who that guy on the sidelines during the 2015 season with the really long blonde hair was.
The bird lives until this day and doesn’t give a $&#%

Fellas!
It’s been a hot second since I have commented but I have been working my tail off. And now it’s official my girlfriend and I will be crossing the pond for the London game and we have our tickets for the tailgate! So pumped I could run through a wall.
As for my question: if this Broncos team was a cocktail what would be in it?

Go Broncos!
Go DNVR!

What’s up guys ! Haven’t commented since the Monday night game at Seattle. I had a helluva weekend, my cousin & I had a bet on the niners and broncos game & I came away with $100 & a new jersey . I was hoping to get a PS2 color rush jersey , what do you guys think I should get ? Anyways I will be flying in from Omaha next Tuesday for the Thursday night game which is also my bday. P.S. (Last time the broncos played on my bday , manning faked all of us on that bootleg keeper vs Dallas in 2013! )

Guys I don’t have a good feeling about this week. Typical Denver/Raiders trap game where the Raiders embarrass the Broncos. As much as I’d love to call a Dub I just don’t see it happening. Tell me why I’m wrong!
The Matrix
Hey boys,
Quick question.
Why do you think part of our fan base has turned so quickly on Hackett and russ after some early season struggles. The past half decade even though the football product was worse imo the fan base didn’t feel as divided (minus teddy vs drew).
Now we have real hope at year to year playoff games and the sky is falling. Interested in your theories. Are bronco fans entitled ?
Anywho,
Love yall and can’t wait for the madden league to pick up
BRONCOS COUNTRY LETS RIDE

Hey Fellas how’s it going. My wife and I are looking at London Tailgate packages and from what I can tell there does not appear to be any way to purchase just the double decker tour and the tailgate. Is there not going to be any way to mix and match? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. Lets Go Broncos. Can’t wait to see you all in London.

My Boys,
Lake fishing = quiet, less fish
River fishing = quiet, best enjoyed with cold beers, relaxing
Ocean fishing = sharks, smelly bait, fish guts, waves….pass
Listened to the Ringers Rewatchables episode oon Boogie Nights, turned it off and unfollowed the second Bill Simmonds made a joke about Hackett, nobody, and i mean nobody can talk smack about our coach! Cheers.

Hey guys!
Thanks for the break down of why Melvin was getting so much playing time in the second half on SNF. Really enjoyed all your thoughts! Here is my biggest problem with Gordon and why I totally agree with @Bronco_in_SD to trade him for WR depth. Or just draft pick depth. Heck, a conditional draft pick; just want him out of Denver at this point. Lol
He fumbles whenever we play a good team, and then whenever he has been asked about it, he’s always said something to the effect well just desperate to make a play there, or how often do you get to pratice that situation? The last thing I want is for Javonte to pick up that attitude and think that’s okay! But Melvin is not getting any less snaps after fumbling. It’s been the opposite, they are giving him more. If you are trying to make a play, great, but if you do that and can’t keep the ball is it really worth it?
Just frustrates the hell out of me that he just gets constantly praised for being such a great RB despite this issue continuing to get worse! There’s a reason nobody signed him, and the chargers elected to go with Ekeler instead. Somebody please hold him accountable already! It will not improve if he’s not going to acknowledge that it is a problem!
For me that is the biggest difference so far between Hackett and Fangio. One regonized he was struggling and took steps to improve; the other one is unemployed. Time for that to start applying at RB too! Am I way off here?
Nathaniel Thiccett?
Been a while since I left a comment so just wanted to stop in and let y’all know I’m still here and listening daily (formerly Thicc Fangio).
I was in pack it up and call it a season mode even coming out with a dub Sunday night. I both love and hate how listening to this pod can make me optimistic again.
As someone who lives 2 hours from the ocean and my mom lives on the gulf coast in Florida, I almost never go even when I’m down there. Lakes are better vibes hands down.
Howler Bro Surf
My boys! The name may give it away but OPEN YOUR EYES (not you Zach). The ocean is far superior. You can do literally anything that you can do in a lake or river but bigger and better, plus more! Oceans allow you to surf, fish, swim, chill, listen to country music (if you’re into that weird shit), and drink!
Rivers are second. You can row, paddle, or float and actually get somewhere. Plus fly fishing is unmatched in a river.
Lakes are fine and serviceable but a clear last choice.
dan birk
hey guys,
so i’m not personally advocating for this move but considering that the defense played well without simmons (yes, it was against jimmy g who doesn’t test the ball downfield) and that the broncos are going to looking for draft capital in the offseason, how comfortable would you be with a justin simmons trade?
what capital would you want to get for him and what would you need to see from sterns and locke to make you feel ok with them as starters- assuming the broncos don’t draft or sign another player.
simmons will turn 29 in a few months and will have a pretty significant cap hit next season. paton knows better himself how safety play can decline. anthony harris looked like the best safety in the league at age 28 and two years later he’s on the broncos practice squad.
what do y’all think?
Nashbronco
Not comfortable with this and I don’t think it’s happening. Not a bad idea from a cap standpoint but Justin is a team captain and one of the best dudes off the field.
PS2
Hey guys!
Great team win but man it is getting hard to watch. After every game we get new questions about this offense. We still don’t know what this offense is. We have seen an offense who could move the ball at will but had unfortunate results in the red zone and we have seen a team who could not move the ball at all. I do believe this weekend we will see more of what we saw week 1 but hopefully we can capitalize in the red zone. Not only is the raiders defense bad but the Broncos offensive game plan for the Seahawks would be perfect for this defense. They have trouble stopping the run and always bite on play action plays. They are very undisciplined in the screen game. I will leave y’all on this last note do not underestimate the Raiders. They have good pieces and have played all of their opponents close and for some reason Josh Jacob’s always seems to play his best against the broncos. In the 5 games he has played against the broncos he 468 yards on 102 carries and 7 tds.
cookingwithRuss
Everything RK said is correct. Lakes are by far the best body of water. You can’t jump in the middle of the ocean because of sharks, which dont exist in lakes. Plus the lake is by far the best place for a beer. Even though the food in the oceans are far superior you dont have to live next to the ocean to eat it.

It’s hard not to get negative about the Broncos based off the last 5 years and the start of this year.
But one thing I’ve forgotten, that I reminded myself of yesterday, is that The Broncos, by way of Russell Wilson, have the Lord Jesus Christ on their side. The Broncos can do all things through Christ, who strengthens them.
Here’s to us finally winning close games (instead of losing) through the great power of the LORD.
Cheers boys. I said this in jest, but it is also very real. I can feel it. Russell’s faith is the savior we all needed. Praise be to God.
