Something interesting caught my attention today when watching PTI.  They had a segment on their rundown about Usain Bolt joining an NFL team.  My first reaction was are you serious? Usain Bolt he is just fast.  But then it got me thinking a guy of his size and speed does not come around alot.  For those of you who don't know who Usain Bolt is, He is a Jamaican runner who broke Michael Johnson record in the Olympics recently.

Just imagine a guy like that running right by defenders as Cutler hits him stride for a Touchdown.  He looks like hes jogging but in reality hes blazing like a cheetah.  He would not only be feared by every team in the league but they would have to play deeper just make sure he doesnt blow by them on every play.  This would leave open areas for Cutler to pick apart.  I know it won't happend but im just saying this would be a nice little project for Shanny an Co that only outcome is an upside

Thoughts?

According to Denver Broncos.com Head coach Mike Shanahan has named middle linebacker Nate Webster as the teams starter.  Nate was competing with the Job with Niko K2.  I'm not really surprised from this because Nate has taken this oppurtunity and won the job.  K2 i thought would come in as a different type of player but man i love it when Nates helmet fly off on almost every play lol...

Here is the link

Webster the man in middle

The beloved Bill williamson wrote an article today about how Torain is ahead of schedule on the healing process.... and the date everyone circled for him to return is that Monday night October 20th against the Patriots.

Boy would that be huge i would love to have this guy back on the field as early as possible.  This kid is going to do big things in the offense i can feel it, can you?

Heres the link

I just bought the new madden NFL 09 XX years edition this morning with head coach 09.  For those of you who also have made the purchase, there is a feature in online play where you can create a league of up to 30 or so teams.... I thought it would be fun to create and MHR league so those of you who have Madden 09 and the Xbox 360 let me know if you want to join...

Just post if you want in and your gamertag as a comment to this fanpost.

Let the Bragging rights on MHR begin.

Those of you out there on the MHR must now dawn the day of the Quest and it official theme song. The quest is referring to the 2008 Denver Broncos season.  Which it has been named by our very own creator TheSportsGuru.   The Following past weeks on MHR radio a new feel was added to The Quest when Guru got me all fired up playing the Kenny Loggins song from the Movie Top Gun, "Highway To The Danger Zone". 

Here is the link

2008 official them song

Here is also another link to the other pumped up song from Top Gun

Eddie Van Halens Theme

This very song was appointed the official song of the 2008 Denver Broncos Season to go along with the Quest.

I usually don't write long stories on the site but i do love to make comments on the great stories on here. Occasionally i will post something from time to time like i am doing now.

But as for The Quest

In this quest one must ask himself do we have the character and ability on this team to take us where we all want us to go........Tampa!!!!! 

That i say to you is up only to the players and coaches of this team. With some help from the football gods.

In the long gruling painful season that is the NFL do we find ourselves within a playoff birth.  Do we find the heart and soul to bring eachother together for that very split second moment of greatness thats say "hey this team is not all bad and maybe, just maybe has an outside chance of greatness."

The dictionary defines a Quest as-a search or pursuit made in order to find or obtain something. But just what are we obtaining to find, a wildcard, an afc west title, an Afc Conference championship, or best of yet a Super Bowl Victory!!!! Which is like finding buried treasure for Indiana Jones.

Along the way of a Quest one will find heart breaks and losses and in BMarshes case maybe a suspension.  But one must not endure the loss and find it within eachother to have the heart to come together as one to keep the Quest moving forward to its ultimate goal.

I for one believe that along the quest we will see losses,  victories, but most importantly Denver Broncos football.  The roar of the 70,000 plus at Mile High cheering for the Touchdown pass by Jay or the last second field goal by an unknown kicker.  The INT by Bailey and Bly,  Sacks from Dum and Moss,  Hard hits by DJ, lynch and co.  But most importanly a team that comes together to prove they are not the scrappy untalented bunch most see them to be.   Most will predict them to fail,  But within this team i see a greater good of a team that will not give up and keep fighting until that clock runs out and the crowd cheers them as victors or maybe in the end even champions.

Here is an interview of our quarterback the one and only jay cutler with ed werder of ESPN.  Cutler talks about diabetes, the new guys, BMarsh, running game, Losing seasons since high school, and 2-0 against vince and matt. This is a great interview about ten minutes long.  Man am i excited for this kid...I just have the feeling that he is going to take off into a pro bowler star this year in the tom brady peyton manning type of numbers being put up.  Man if i would of knew this kid was at the celebrity golf tourney up in Lake Tahoe i would of went thats where i got Elways, Jordans, Faulk, Marinos, Barkley and many more autographs as a kid.  I love that tourney.

Anyways the links below enjoy!!!

Yo whats up guys i havent been around lately and i appoligize i miss this site.  I have a question that of course only us Broncos fans would know.  I recently just got a job with Coca-Cola Enterprises and I am considering Forking out some cash for NFL Sunday Ticket this season.  This is something Ive Always wanted.  But living at home the Paps has Comcast dont get me wrong Comcast is nice with On Demand and all that but it doesnt have the one thing us football junkies really need the NFL Sunday Ticket...I live in California and probably get to watch about 5 Broncos games a year via Monday Night and all big time games.  I have the money to do this Should I?

Last year Alan Embrees performance was much better than this season.  Last season i did not care if he came in as i felt the lead was always safe.   But this year different story and after allowing 3 runs in the bottom of the 8th tonight it just got me thinking maybe he is the new Mecir.

Jim Mecir I am sure you all remember him.  Everytime this guy came in i just knew the A's were going to lose.  Now I am starting to think the same for Embree any body else feel the same?

An article i found on foxsports.com nfl page.

It's around this time every year when a list comes out with NFL coaches on the hot seat. With competitive balance, parity and the pressure to win, it seems like more and more coaches are coming under fire.

Let's separate fact from fiction.

Here's Schein's list of coaches who shouldn't fret about their job security, regardless of how 2008 turns out.

Mike Shanahan: — Shanahan won a recent power struggle with ousted general manager Ted Sundquist. It's a pressure-packed year in Denver, but even if the Broncos win eight games or less, Shanahan's head won't roll.

Whenever you are debating whether or not to fire a coach, an owner always asks if the club can do better. Fact is, it is impossible to do better than Shanahan. He's 130-78 in 13 seasons. Shanahan has the two Super Bowl championships. That's what you call a Hall of Fame-type resume. And I don't want to hear that he had John Elway back then and it was Elway who delivered Shanahan his rings. Shanahan got Elway to realize the team went through Terrell Davis. And I don't want to hear people question what he's done since Elway. Shanahan has chalked up four of his seven double-digit win seasons since No. 7 retired. Shanahan is one of the brightest minds in all of football.

While Denver owner Pat Bowlen talked about how important 2008 was when the club axed Sundquist, Shanahan recently told me he feels no extra pressure. And he shouldn't. Shanahan will be the coach as long as Bowlen owns the team.

It isn't Shanahan's fault that Brandon Marshall continues to show immaturity. And while you can question some of his moves as the head of personnel (Maurice Clarett was a terrible idea, as was the entire Browns defensive line), make sure to also give Shanahan credit for the trades that equaled Champ Bailey and Dre Bly, plus the golden 2006 draft of franchise quarterback Jay Cutler, Elvis Dumervil, Tony Scheffler, and Marshall, who despite his off-field issues has the makings of a future Pro Bowl receiver.

Andy Reid: — Whenever I get e-mails (video style) here on FOXSports.com or phone calls on my Sirius NFL Radio show from Eagles fans who want to fire Reid, I shake my head and laugh.

Do you remember how gruesome your franchise was before Reid?

Do you honestly believe you can find someone better than this top-10 NFL coach?

I don't want to hear about Reid being distracted when his kids had personal problems. Were you in the house? You have absolutely no idea.

I don't want to hear about his play selection/time management in the Super Bowl vs. the Patriots. It wasn't great, I grant you, but let's look big picture.

Every single year you know that if the club stays healthy, you are going to be in the mix for the Super Bowl. You don't trash something like that.

He's a whopping 86-56 in his Eagles career, and that includes a 5-11 1999 season when he had to clean up a mess from a prior regime.

In his next eight seasons, he won double-digit games six times, making the NFC title game four times.

Andy Reid doesn't deserve hot-seat status. He deserves a statue erected outside the stadium.

Marvin Lewis: Surprised to see Lewis on the 'totally safe' list? Here's the deal — Marvin Lewis is an excellent football coach. You can make the case that he helped create the Chad Johnson situation by having a set of rules for Chad and another for everyone else. However, everyone in Cincy is applauding how he has drawn a proverbial line in the sand this offseason when dealing with Johnson.

The Bengals won't fire Lewis. The only question is whether Lewis, who is so well respected across the league, will look to leave for a place with more sanity.

Eric Mangini: — In 2006, he was "Man-genius," expertly guiding the Jets on a stunning and unpredictable march to the playoffs in his first year in New York. In 2007, well, let's just say he wasn't "Man-genius" as the Jets slumped to an underachieving four-win season.

But Mangini is a good, solid football coach who has the respect of owner Woody Johnson and general manager Mike Tannenbaum. Now, the stakes are most certainly raised in New York with Tannenbaum spending Mr. Johnson's money wisely and actively this offseason. However, unless there is a complete player revolt, Mangini won't lose his job after three seasons, even if the Jets finish behind the Patriots and the Bills in the AFC East.

ItBs going to be a long season in Kansas City, but Herm Edwards gets a pass because the Chiefs are in rebuilding mode. (Gregory Shamus / Getty Images)

Herm Edwards: — If I did a power ranking for the upcoming season, my biggest debate would be whether or not to make the Chiefs the No. 31 or 32 team. It's going to be a long season in Kansas City.

While Edwards has his faults, like his inability to properly manage a clock despite the presence of time-management guru Dick Curl, his players play incredibly hard for him. And his results as a coach speak for themselves.

Kansas City — the clear cut winner of the 2008 NFL draft — is in full-fledged rebuilding mode. Chiefs president Carl Peterson hand-picked Edwards. Even when the Chiefs struggle to win four games, Edwards gets a free pass as this club looks to 2009 and 2010. And Herm will be around for those years, too.

Brad Childress: — Hide the women, children, and Sports Illustrated writer Dr. Z. When the good doctor picks your team to make the Super Bowl it is considered the ultimate jinx. And that's exactly what has happened to Minnesota. Expectations are rightly sky high with the Vikings this year after a sensational offseason, highlighted by the pickups of Jared Allen and Bernard Berrian. And Childress is tied directly to his young gunslinger Tarvaris Jackson, who I believe will thrive this season being coached up by the offensive master. You have to give the quarterback and coach time to grow together. There is also a thought that Brad Childress must deliver on the preseason hype to stay around past this season.

Look — Childress is a very savvy coach. As Darren Sharper has told me twice over the last few weeks, he's grown as a leader of men. Childress, like Mangini, is a task master. That can rub some players the wrong way. But even if the Vikings turn out to be the 7th best team in the NFC this year and fall short of the postseason, cooler heads will prevail.

Schein's hot seat list

The hot seat list is relatively easy — Scott Linehan, Mike Nolan, and John Fox are obvious (for the record, I think the world of Fox as a coach and I think Nolan will survive if Alex Smith shows progress). Wade Phillips is in a Super Bowl or bust season. That officially became a fact when Jerry Jones paid Jason Garrett a king's ransom to run his offense. Jim Zorn was originally hired to run the offense. Dan Snyder fired Marty Schottenheimer after one season. Zorn's seat, fair or unfair, is very warm.
