Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. There’s been a ton of talk about a conference move for your Colorado State Rams as of late. It isn’t even talk anymore, as CSU has already made its case to the Big 12 and the Big 12 has at least shown a willingness to flirt with the Rams. But, while it’s exciting to…...
Thanksgiving hasn’t been too kind to the Denver Broncos. Perhaps it’s a good thing then they haven’t played on the holiday that much. In fact, John Elway only played on Thanksgiving once. As it goes with the Broncos on Thanksgiving it was a loss, 40-27 to the Detroit Lions in 1990. Elway only played on Thanksgiving once? It is…...
Let’s take a trip down memory lane. 2013 was a special year for Colorado State Rams football fans; it was the first time since 2008 the team made it to a bowl game. And one of those wonderful wins was the victory over Wyoming in Laramie. Let’s rewind a bit further for a minute: Heading into the 2013 Border…...
Imagine if John Elway had played for the Baltimore Colts. It’s hard to picture given all that we know about the 1983 NFL Draft; especially now. We know there was no chance Elway would ever play for then-owner Bob Irsay or his dysfunctional franchise. It’s even harder to un-imagine all of the memories Elway created in Denver. But try your hardest…...
The Denver Broncos versus Green Bay Packers; it’s an historical match-up in many ways. Everyone remembers Super Bowl XXXII (can you believe it was nearly 20 years ago?) as one of the greatest Super Bowls in the history of the game. Brett Favre in his prime and the Packers favored over John Elway on his last legs with a…...
Well maybe the Broncos and Browns were never rivals, but they sure had some great matchup’s in years gone by. Here’s a look at some of the greatest games between the Broncos and the Browns. January 11th, 1987 – The Drive – Cleveland Municipal Stadium Elway takes the Broncos from “right where they want em”, 98 yards in the…...
When you think of John Elway, certain moments pop into your head. The Drive. The Helicopter. “This one’s for John.” Elway coming off the field in Super Bowl XXXIII for the last time – as Super Bowl champion. All defining moments for one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever strap on pads. All moments that still produce chills for Broncos…...
Memory can be an odd thing, especially in sports. For most sports fans – and even analysts – the latest game sticks out. Of course, with so much in flux from week to week in the NFL, evaluating the most recent matchup is the best way to determine the possible outcome of the next game. But when it comes to…...
Gartrell Johnson was a beastly back for the Colorado State Rams. His monicker “The Predator” was earned first and foremost due to those flowing dreadlocks, big and bushy as they were. But it stuck due to his powerful, determined and deadly running style. Even Arnold was scared! Gartrell Johnson, the Predator. https://t.co/PuD85I0HbC — Rich Kurtzman (@RichKurtzman) August 13, 2015…...
Floyd Little, Hall of Famer. For Little, it was a long wait for the Professional Football Hall of Fame to come calling, but the important thing is, they did. And now his bronze bust sits among John Elway, Gary Zimmerman, Shannon Sharpe as well as the rest of the game’s greats from every team. His story begins way back…...
America loves an underdog story and football fans should love the American Football League for that very reason. The AFL, started in 1959 with its first games kicking off in 1960, bravely decided to take on the National Football League, which was entrenched as the preeminent professional football league and had been for decades. Numerous smaller leagues attempted and…...
