Demaryious Says "I wasn't getting no Balls"

In an NBC Sports article that came out today by David Smith. Demaryius Thomas, the Wide Reciever for the Broncos who only caught one of the biggest 80yd TD passes in NFL Playoff overtime history, said he wasn't sad to see Tebow go becasue "I wasn't getting no balls." I always find it trashy when players speak ill of other teammates, especially after they're gone, and especially in a situation like this where it comes off beyond selfish. 

At one point in the article Thomas says he was upset that ESPN gave Tebow all the credit becasue they would say "Tebow Time." Sorry Demaryius but from this fans perspective my love for the TEAM doesnt begin and end with what ESPN says. Also let's look at the facts, with Orton the team starts 1-4, after Orton the team makes it's first playoff appearance in seven years. YES, it is a TEAM EFFORT, however you cannot deny the Tebow helped you get a lot of recogniotion for the work you put it. Are you gonna blame Prater next for kicking all those awesome field goals for those balls you didn't get?

As a SUPER FAN I am WELL aware that the game is a team effort. I also can appreciate a wide reciever being excited to have Peyton Manning sling footballs to them. However the comments Demaryius Thomas made in this article were uncessary, selfish, and in poor taste. We as fans don't want to hear about your grief with other players. We are excited to watch you all play as a cohesive unit, and when you do crap like this, it makes me not excited to root for you as an individual. 

I'm off my soap box, what do you think Broncos Fans?

2012 BRONCO PRE-SEASON SCHEDULE

The Denver Broncos Blog today announced the Broncos Preseason Schedule. Got the heads up from the fine folks at the "It's All Over Fat Man" blog on Twitter.

Week 1: @ Chicago Bears - TBD (Aug 9-13)
Week 2: vs. Seattle Seahawks — TBD (Aug. 16-20)
Week 3: vs. San Francisco 49ers — Sunday, Aug. 26, 2 p.m. MDT (Nationally televised on FOX)
Week 4: @ Arizona Cardinals — TBD (Aug. 29-30) 

Looks like an interesting preseason lineup, except why are we only playing NFC teams this year? Good to have a peak into the upcoming NFL Schedule. I would except a Colts / Broncos game this season. There is NO WAY< the NFL would pass up a rating buster like that with Manning guiding the Broncos to this years Vince Lombardi trophy.
