I went to the first day of training camp for the Denver Broncos at Dove Valley. I had never gone to a training camp before. I thought it would be an experience, and it definitely was. Over three thousand fans showed up to the morning practice session and another few thousand fans showed up to the evening session with a combined total of over five thousand fans for the day.

It’s ridiculous and funny that there has been such an uproar over the scheduling of the 2014 Super Bowl, in, dare we say it, New Jersey!
Football and cold weather are synonymous. The game of football isn’t played in the spring or the summer when the breezes are blowing and the hot dogs are on the grill.
No, this is a game that is played regardless of the weather conditions, and we like it that way.

As a disruptive force at outside linebacker, he revolutionized the game with his relentless pursuit of the quarterback – racking up a remarkable number of sacks throughout his illustrious career.

Taylor significantly altered pass rushing schemes, offensive line play and offensive formations used in the NFL because of his intense, hard-hitting style of play. But away from the field, his intense, hard-partying, and reckless lifestyle has earned him a quite another reputation.

Nearly 30 years ago, when Taylor was drafted by the Giants with the No. 2 overall pick, Coach Ray Perkins said, “He was the cleanest player in the draft. By that I mean there was no rap on him.”

One of the best quarterbacks in college football, Florida Gators Tim Tebow was drafted to the Denver Broncos during the first round of the 2010 NFL draft. He was the Broncos second pick, drafted in the 25th position. Unlike many people who did not think Tim Tebow would be drafted during the first round, I believed he would be. Who wouldn’t want an incredible quarterback of Tim Tebow’s caliber and moral compass, especially with all the bad press the NFL is getting lately with players being suspended and going to jail for gun and sex charges, and other crimes. It’s nice to have a player with good moral and family values for a change. Tim Tebow is a role model kids can definitely look up to!

I can’t keep silent anymore.
The antics of Big Ben, who apparently either has, or think he has, a gold plated Big Johnson, have finally derailed his celebrity ride.
In the world of “He Said”, “She Said”, it is fair to conclude that the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

This week I am making my picks and leaving it at that because I want to tell you about New Orleans and the object of their affection, the Saints.
I though that by now the city and the areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina would be restored and life would be normal again.
It is sad to say that in this great county of ours, with all the riches we possess and in spite of the hard work of many wonderful, humane and compassionate people, things are still not back to normal in New Orleans.
But, there is one positive in New Orleans, the love affair the City of New Orleans has with its team, the Saints.
The Saints did not reach the Super Bowl in 2006 and yet to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

Just when I thought that there were very few things that could occur within the NFL to make me love the league, its employees, and the fans even more; well, they have officially found a way to make me fall in love all over again.

Femmefan and I have been treated wonderfully by the San Francisco Forty Niners since the start of Femmefan.
Over the last nine years they have given me access to players, something typically reserved for the media big boys.
You know the ones, the media types that do this for a living.
It is a bit unusual to get player access when you are writing for a web site, and a female fan website at that.

In November of 2006 I conducted an interview with San Francisco Forty Niners fullback Moran Norris.
This link to that archived article is here.
Moran played for the Forty Niners in 2006 and 2007, paving the way, through his blocking, for two record setting seasons for Forty Niners running back, Frank Gore
