Rod Smith’s new job: Helping his college town of Joplin
Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith may have been born in Texarkana, Arkansas, but it's pretty clear that his heart belongs to Joplin, Mo., where he went to college at Missouri Southern State. Smith was a small-school standout who had to fight for a roster spot in the NFL and finished his estimable pro career as the only undrafted receiver in NFL history to catch...

There were more media members there (24) than actual Broncos (14), and that’s counting Rod Smith as media. (He has a weekly internet radio show.) Among the newcomers to the session…

Where Mike Shanahan Finds Wide Receivers
Comcast SportsNet's Rich Tandler has written a couple of pieces lately (or maybe it's one article and a director's commentary on that article) detailing just how bad Mike Shanahan is at drafting wide receivers. Here's a solid summary, from Tandler's RealRedskins.com piece:
Simply put, Shanahan's record when it comes to drafting receivers has been less than...

Diamonds in the Mile High Rough
So here we are talking about April’s upcoming NFL draft and agonizing over who the Broncos will take with the No. 2 overall pick. Heck, we’re even struggling with whether or not we want our Broncos to trade the pick and bump our number of overall picks up from 6 to 8 or even to 9. Trust me, as a guy who has predominantly orange blood coursing through his veins, I get agita...

For Broncos, Leadership Has Been Key
By Dustin Davis
The list of things for the Denver Broncos to either improve, repair, or throw away completely this off-season is probably as long as what the 2010 season felt like to the Broncos faithful. However, one thing they shouldn’t have to worry about fixing are the elements of the team that provide leadership. That position is filled, and historically for the Broncos, it...

Super Bowl crowd vs. World Series crowd
Arlington, Texas _ I have long contended that a World Series creates a far greater civic buzz for the cities involved than those participating in a Super Bowl.
Why? World Series games are actually played in the team’s towns. The Super Bowl is played in a nuetral site. I’m not exactly sure why but the town is far more energized, the parties are far more festive, when the...

More bad news out of the Tennessee Titan camp. This one makes the Jeff Fisher-Vince Young spat seem like petty child’s play.

For Broncos castoffs Hillis and Smith, a change of scenery works
Just outside the Broncos' locker room, next to the mailboxes piled high with best wishes and the hopes for an autograph, is a rather ordinary-looking staircase. But in all the years Rod Smith played for the Broncos, he never wanted to set foot on those steps.
