Aaron Reynolds's Denver Nuggets friend's fan blogs

I typically only write in here when I need to vent a few things about the Denver Broncos.  I know my views are usually way off....(McDaniel's, Cutler...so on,) but come on folks!  The Tebow chants on Monday's loss to Oakland have got to stop.  Never in the history of the league has a coach admitted to starting a QB because the fans chanted his name when the starter played poorly.  Orton is the best QB on the team, period.  If Tebow was better, then why can't he earn the job in practice, training camp, pre-season?  I don't want to hear that he would excel in a real game-time situation.  Does Tom Brady perform poorly in practice?...no!  Does Aaron Rogers?.....No!  You earn the job in practice.  Orton earned the job, had a poor game (along with the D run stop, O-line, RB's, kicking and special teams blocking)  Can Tim Tebow keep McFadden from rushing for 150 yds?  Can Tim Tebow assure that punts do not get blocked?  Can Tim Tebow simply lift his left hand and block for himself?  Yes, Tim can run out of the pocket and create.........Or at least he did in college, but he hasn't done any of those things consistently in practice against NFL players.  If I test-drive a car on I-25 for a mile and the engine putters, then I am not driving that thing in Downtown Denver in rush hour.

I'm not sure if the New York Knicks have all the pieces in place right now, but by adding Carmelo Anthony they are certainly one big step closer to being a NBA championship contender. Although considering the mismanagement over the last 10 years it's heard to believe they won't mess this up too.

Watch for the Knicks to make some strong stragetic moves during this off season to sure things up and make them a true Eastern conference powerhouse.

Two cities that produce NBA Eastern Conference contenders also have the two teams that are favored to win the Super Bowl as the NFL playoffs are set to begin this weekend.

NBA spread betting experts might recognize that Atlanta and Boston produce two East contenders and with the Falcons and Patriots, both cities have the Super Bowl XLV juggernauts as well.

Just as in the NBA’s East, Atlanta’s team is viewed with an eye of pessimism. The Falcons had a great regular season but don’t have a ton of playoff experience. They’re a young squad that is gaining it on the fly.

Meanwhile, Boston’s team - just like in the NBA – is experienced, savvy and has done it before. The Patriots are the odds-on favorites to do it all and considering they’ve won it three times this decade, why bet against them?

Basketball betting is not quite as common as betting on some other sports, but if you do your research, take your time and keep accurate records, there’s no reason you can’t be as successful at betting on basketball as betting on anything else. Here are a few tips to get you started.

Top Basketball Betting Tip: NCAA vs. NBA

Of course you are welcome to bet both college and pro basketball (including the WNBA), like placing your bets in online video poker games, you need to be aware that each type of basketball may have very different factors in play. In college basketball, every game counts, whereas pro teams can afford to drop a few games here and there and still have a great shot at the championship. There may be a much larger disparity between two competing college teams. Know the league you’re betting.

I've let nearly a year go by since I posted anything in here, but now, more then ever I have to get a few things off my chest about what's happening with the Denver Broncos.  Now I have been a Bronco fan since the early 90's, I'm 24, and I have witnessed the highest of the highs with two Superbowl's and now, this season, I am witnessing the lowest point since my Bronco fandom if that's a word.

I refuse to go to a game the rest of the year, but let me make it clear; it's not because of a losing season, it's because I don't want to hear the "fire McDaniel's" chants. A long chant, I know, but I'm sure some fans could spin that into a catchy tune. I know things are tough right now, but with 32 teams in the NFL isn't it fair to say Denver is bound to have a bad season now and again?  I mean, are we turning into the Oakland Raiders now, when as soon as things get tough we fire everyone and start over?  That's the trend that the Raiders followed and look at their franchise since their Superbowl nearly ten years ago.  Gruden, Callahan, Turner, Shell, Kiffen and now Cable.  Gruden went right on to win a Superbowl with Tampa and Turner coaches the hottest team in the NFL in San Diego.  I know we are nowhere near the revolving door Al Davis's Oakland Raiders are yet but if we only give a coach two years to build a team and bring in a new system then we give another new coach another two years to build another system then another and another, we continue on a losing cycle.  I hear talk of bringing in Gruden or Cowher but didn't they struggle early on a bit?

I really like the direction this team is going but I'm not so sure they can really be a contender in the East this year.  The East has gotten a lot stronger over the last few years and while I think they can make the playoffs I don't really see any chance that they can really beat The Magic, the Heat, the Celtics, of the Bulls.  And I'm skeptical they can even beat teams like the 76ers or the Hawks.

What do you think?

Ok. I have been patient I think we all have but I think its time to stop putting the game in Corpas hands. He is not the pitcher everyone hopes he was going to be, and not the pitcher he was last year. Why doe Jim Tracy have so much confidence in him? too many times I've watched him blow the game and all I hear from Tracy is "I can remember the last time he has done that." HELLO!! how about yesterday!! lol. no really you all know what I'm talking about. I have been to the last few home games when Corpas has blown it for the Rockies and I herd all you fans booing him and Tracy. KEEP IT UP!! Its time we as fans hold Tracy accountable for the mistakes that he makes with the relief pitchers. This is one of many "issues" I have with some of Tracy's recent decisions but this is definitely the most pressing. So lets make it loud and clear. "Corpas needs to go"!!!

Again, it has been too long since I posted anything on here, but honestly, what needs to be said?  Denver is 5-0! They had a close game with the Bengals that resulted in Brandon Stokley catching a tip ball and taking it 87 yards for a touchdown.  Critics said we were no different from last year in our miracle wins.  That game was compared to the "bad call" against San Diego last year or the missed field goal against New Orleans.  Next came Cleveland.  We were actually underdogs.  Denver defense sent a message that game.  Then came Oakland.  Another message was sent.  Critics again said those were the games the broncos were supposed to win, even though  they were underdogs in two of them.  So the talk of, "oh they haven't played anybody" surfaced.  Well two games later and we beat a top NFC Dallas team and one of the best, the New England Patriots.

Wow! It has been a while since I have posted anything on here.  It almost seems there is too much to say. Quarterback worries, our number one draft pick worries and Brandon Marshall worries.  Where do I even begin?  Well, my last post was about how I believe Kyle Orton will do just fine leading this team to the superbowl!! Maybe I am getting a little ahead of myself.  I believe he will do just fine leading us to the playoffs, at the very least a winning record.  There! Is that a little more rational? According to McDaniels he is looking good and feeling good. What more can we ask for at this point?

Now onto Knowshon, or no-show as the media has been calling him.  He still has not reported to camp. No hurry, Pre-season is only a week away.  Plenty of time for a guy that has never taken an NFL snap to learn all that is needed. (COUGH)  I know this happens every year with talented rookies, but after all the craziness this off-season for the Broncos I was really hoping Knowshon would be ready and primed.  Not the case.  Once he gets his deal worked out, I think he will be a great force for Denver, obviously.  I was just hoping they would get everyone on the same page, at least the same book after the whole Cutler situation.  At least the 'hybrid' Robert Ayers is on board!
