So who's covering training camp?

[Meck77]

For the first time in many years it seems we don't have a dedicated crew willing to brave the heat or the critics of the Mane? Ha!

[kmonty]

Thought I might be able to make it. But I cant. Sucks.

[wolf754life]

mike shannahan is covering it, in mediocrity

[DukeWoody]

I nominate none other than Meck77...you can do it...:~ohyah!:

[BroncoFanatic]

mike shannahan is covering it, in mediocrity

I sincerely hope for your sake that you are not this useless to people IRL

[2KBack]

We seem SOL this year. It's going to keep the hype train at a slightly safer speed I guess.

[Pat Bowlen]

I sincerely hope for your sake that you are not this useless to people IRL
He's probably more so. At least here he's successful in making people care about him.

[crazyhorse]

Why build false hope?

The Broncos are gonna suck this year.

Stay home. Save your money.:clown:

[24champ]

I'll be there for the first three days and then I'm off to California for vacation.

[broncosteven]

I can't make it out there until week 3 hopefully.

I would suck at a correspondent anyway.

[LittleFloyd]

Jake Plummer will cover it. Also Travis Henry will be out there laying in the weeds.

[cutthemdown]

Why build false hope?

The Broncos are gonna suck this year.

Stay home. Save your money.:clown:

I'd say they will be avg. Suck is more like what Queefies will be. :~ohyah!:

[JCMElway]

Hey 24 CB, will you be posting reports?

[broncosteven]

Jake Plummer will cover it. Also Travis Henry will be out there laying in the weeds.

Sure that Sandpoint Idaho doesn't have one on one mens handball tourney's?

Nothing like a men's handball tourney in August to get you ready for winter and Football season.

[Broncoman13]

I'll make it out a few times. Are the practices between the Cowboys and Broncos going to be open to the public?

[OABB]

I think wolf should cover it...that would be so damn funny I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect.

[broncosteven]

I vote for Boob to go so we can all enjoy his sweet pic's of the backs of Shanny and co.

I heard Will Shields once walked by Boob on his way in from the practice field.

[Kaylore]

I will be able to make a couple of Saturdays. It will probably only be one session for each day, though. I'll for sure make the first Saturday. I won't have access like I did last year, though, so I will be limited by where I can stand and what I see. Better than nothing, I guess.

[broncofan2438]

Who ever did it last year, did a good job of covering and PICTURES

[cutthemdown]

I will be able to make a couple of Saturdays. It will probably only be one session for each day, though. I'll for sure make the first Saturday. I won't have access like I did last year, though, so I will be limited by where I can stand and what I see. Better than nothing, I guess.

just tell everyone how good all the players look so we can blame you instead of Shanny when the Broncos go 7-9

[kmonty]

The guys and I at BT were looking for a sponsor (Denver area preferably) to cover the costs of covering training camp. Travel and hotel expenses mostly. We were planning to do daily videos and reports. We really believe the sponsors would get their money's work in ads and vid commercials.

It didn't happen this year, but if any of you are part of a business or know a business that would be interested in something like this, please let us know for next season (PM me is fine). We really think the fans deserve better than what the DPO and RMN will offer - now that the Mane and Mason are both MIA, we fans are going to be starving for coverage.

[TailgateNut]

:rofl:

[Bladerunner]

Kaylor...it's really none of my business, but was there fallout from your coverage of the camp last year, or do you just have too many other things going on than to feed us slack jaws our cocktails this year?

[Kaylore]

Kaylor...it's really none of my business, but was there fallout from your coverage of the camp last year, or do you just have too many other things going on than to feed us slack jaws our cocktails this year?

No, it's mostly that I don't have the PTO to do it. I need to work at my new job for another year before I have the wiggle room to take a few weeks off to do it.

I will say even if circumstances were better, I'd probably sit this one out anyway. I'll admit the motivation is way down. Originally I did these because during my time overseas I was dissatisfied with the way people were "covering" (or not covering) camp. I wanted a perspective from someone who watches the game and wants to know how they are actually playing more than stupid interviews with new players where they repeat all the generic answers. I didn't think people would really care so much what I thought. That people appreciated them so much made me feel like it was worth doing. Seeing the bus there and talking to Meck and Disco the first year was really fun. The next year Mediator and I hooked up and then when SoCal came out it was so much fun. Then we got access and it was like "Wow we're really doing some good stuff here. The three of us love this game and it's fun just to watch this stuff."

Things change, though. Mediator doesn't come anymore and SoCal can't make it this year either. I also think people started to take us for granted. The reports just seemed to piss people off, not everyone, but you all know who I'm talking about. I'll be honest, It kind of sucks getting up every day for free and standing in the sun and then coming home and writing 700 words of stuff and then having it thrown in your face. It's like, "well *expletive* you too! I don't have to be here!" People say "I'd love to do that!" and yes, it has been awesome. But it is work and it's not comfortable work. It's very time consuming and burning your vacation time so a few dickheads who never contribute anything to the Bronco Nation can tell you you're an asshole isn't fun. It's especially hard when there's no one out there with you. I talked to Meck and he gets where I was coming from. I have a new job I really like that pays well and after looking at the cost and that I don't have PTO, as well as personal commitments I decided it best if I just tap out on this year anyway.

I'm not trying to "teach" anyone a lesson. I'm doing this for me. I think I need it. I also honestly believed that several posters here could do just as good a job, if not better if they would step up.

I also want to add that Taco has been hugely supportive of this. Taco bought me a Cutler Jersey, too. That was pretty cool. And has been great about working with us in the past. When I told him my situation he was totally cool about it.

So there you go. Hope that clears things up.

[vancejohnson82]

damn Kaylore...sucks that it felt like that..

I, for one, sat by my computer waiting to read those things...but if the love isnt there for it, no reason to get out there.

Great job last year...better late then never for a compliment right?

[DomCasual]

mike shannahan is covering it, in mediocrity

Do you misspell Shanahan's name to be funny? I'm serious - I always wondered.

[Boss Man]

Man i would be able to go, but i just moved to florida this year, so it is now impossible. If nothing else we could try and get a scattered group together were everyone goes like once a week, just at thought...

[DukeWoody]

damn Kaylore...sucks that it felt like that..

You did a great job last year and I will miss you out there

[theAPAOps5]

Kaylor I for one became a member here because of these reports. So I have always appreciated them.

If damn SoCal wasn't so stubborn I would have bought you guys lunch and/or dinner. But NOOOOOOOOOOO Socal wouldn't have any of it.

when I get season tickets you are going to at least a few games on me that much is for sure.

[watermock]

Holding out on us ehh...RosenDrew get to ya?

[SonOfLe-loLang]

I dont really agree with your politics, but always enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) your broncos insight! :) I'll miss your reports this year.

[Memento]

No, it's mostly that I don't have the PTO to do it. I need to work at my new job for another year before I have the wiggle room to take a few weeks off to do it.

Kaylore, is there any way you can impregnate 9+ women, get caught smoking lots of weed, fail to show up to your new job and get fired from it... all of this by the time training camp starts?

Though I understand this might conflict with some of your core values/beliefs...

In other words, I really have appreciated your updates through the years.:) :)

[PLOWHORSE]

Maybe Wabbit has time this year....just a thought?

[Natedogg]

Kaylore, I always loved your reports. thanks for everything. grade a work. thanks big time.

[elsid13]

Maybe Wabbit has time this year....just a thought?

Wabbit has his own work to do, and I don't think him writting on the mane pays as much as his real job.

[scttgrd]

Wabbit has his own work to do, and I don't think him writting on the mane pays as much as his real job.

Where has Wabbit been anyway? Haven't seen him since the down time.

[SoCalBronco]

I am very depressed that I can't go this year. I really wanted to and what bothers me is that I missed it by a couple weeks. My new job that I started on February 11th had a rule that you cant use vacation credits for six months, which meant that I could not use them till, at earliest, August 11th, which is just barely a couple weeks after camp starts, so the timing killed me.

I will be able to go back next year, though.

[elsid13]

Where has Wabbit been anyway? Haven't seen him since the down time.

I think he on vacation in AZ.

[cutman0122]

I just want to say that I was one who enjoyed and appreciated those reports. For all that contributed, thank you very much for your time and thank you for sharing with us!!:notworthy I will definitely miss it this year!!ugh!~

[socalorado]

DAMMIT! Give me your boss' home address and we'll have Spider come over with an end dump of manure and change his mind for him!

[socalorado]

I'll be there for the first three days and then I'm off to California for vacation.
THANKS!!! WE ALL OWE YOU BIG TIME!
ROOKIES MAN! Keep a close eye on em.
I think all of them will make the roster, and i am very interested in this class.
Jeez, is anyone else going?

[24champ]

Hey 24 CB, will you be posting reports?

Yep, it will similar to my game day threads, along with pictures.

[wolf754life]

the reports were far to positive, overating players and coaches. not nearly critical enough............all they did was get peoples hopes up!

[24champ]

Ditto....props to Khan, Med and SoCal for ALL and EVERY great report over the years...:strong:

No doubt. They did a great job covering camp, even at some points scored some interviews. I know Kahn ran into Foxworth and such.

[Kaylore]

Yay! I don't want to do it by myself again. It sucks. Also two pairs of eyes are better than one. We can also work on getting Aaron Francisco on the team.

[Killericon]

I'll do my best to join in when I can(I.E. at least 4 years from now), but I'd just like to publicly give my gratitude to Khan, SoCal and the rest for all their work. Thanks a ton. Guys like you are why the OM is literally leagues ahead of any other sports forum I could find for any team.

[SoDak Bronco]

kaylore and socal...i'm not going to lie...this has kinda thrown off my night..you guys along wiht disco, were such a huge part of my preseason/training camp fix. I loved hearing the positional breakdown, espeically at dline/oline..I know the majority of folks here really loved the extra efforts/pto that you guys contributed..it's kinda like that hot gf you had, you don't realize how nice she was until she says seeya..i always said it but, thanks again..you guys will be missed..

[thumpc]

So Khan and Socal, feel free to sneak in a couple of Wednesdays, if you're bored. I've been to one practice, and I couldn't absorb as much info as you guys. How do you do it?

[Meck77]

I nominate none other than Meck77...you can do it...:~ohyah!:

I did some several years ago. Besides they dont' allow tailgating/RVs at Dove Valley anymore. *sigh* The good ole days.

I might make a few days depending on when my legal battle for my tailgating lot begins with RTD.

[montrose]

I think I may be able to help. I'm shifting a few things around my work schedule with the intent on not missing a practice. I can't commit to anything yet but my goal is to make every practice and post a detailed report that would make SoCal and Kahn proud. I played football at the college level, so I know what I'm talking about. I'll let you guys know once I'm sure I can do it.

[SoDak Bronco]

way to step up montrose...rep

[Spider]

I would go but my typing skills suck , I would get distracted by women , and too big of a homer to see anything objectively ..........

[DenverBrit]

the reports were far to positive, overating players and coaches. not nearly critical enough............all they did was get peoples hopes up!


Whereas your reports would be balanced yet cheerfully optimistic. ROFL!

[DenverBrit]

Kaylore, your's and SCal's reports WILL be missed. :welcome:

Training camp won't be the same this year without your reports.

[BlaK-Argentina]

It will suck that SoCal, Med and Khan will miss it this year. You guys did such an incredible job with your reports. I would get up and just wait in front of my computer with a cup of coffee for the reports. It was great stuff. Thanks for all the hard work guys!

[thumpc]

I would go but my typing skills suck , I would get distracted by women , and too big of a homer to see anything objectively ..........

Really? The women of training camp practices?

[Bladerunner]

So there you go. Hope that clears things up.

while I'm sorry to read these sentiments...I do follow. I saw some of the pissing matches in action last season, but pretty much dismissed them as people being haters and seeking attention.

I'm certainly bummed to hear that your reports won't be coming this year, I can totally appreciate the effort required and understand why you would need a break.

fwiw, I thought that your reports were about the sweetest media information on the Broncos I came across...and based on ending rosters and player performance, remarkably accurate given it was just yourself for the majority of the time.

anyhow, thanks for the time you put in, and know that a good number of us truly appreciated your hard work.

[chickennob2]

Khan, Med, and SoCal will be sorely missed. I was on vacation in Seattle last training camp and, wherever we were, I always stole my dad's internet-enabled phone to watch the Mane load painfully slowly to read the reports. Great work guys.

And montrose, trying to not get my hopes up in case it doesn't work out, thank you so much for even looking into what it would take to make it to camp. We are all hopeful you can make it work.

[Rock Chalk]

Im gonna try and make at least a day or two with OSKIE, but I wont be there everyday. That's just retarded.

[ScottXray]

Why build false hope?

The Broncos are gonna suck this year.

Stay home. Save your money.:clown:

A: training camp is free to attend.
B: Our season MAY suck.
C: Kansas Citys season will suck MORE than ours.
D: Why be a KC fan.....? Because the Raiduhs suck more than B/C,
and Mullets aren't allowed on the West coast!

[elsid13]

I would go but my PIMPING skills suck , I would get distracted by SHINY OBJECTS , and GET a BONER to see anything BUT SHEEP ..........

FIXED IT FOR YOU ;D

[broncocalijohn]

Im gonna try and make at least a day or two with OSKIE, but I wont be there everyday. That's just retarded.

U just couldnt end a post with something positive, huh? Somehow, Alec report will be cut short by an incident with another fan trying to get a closer look or he will find someone with a dime bag and not be able to resist the temptation.

[Sassy]

J....your weird sense of humor cracks me up!

[24champ]

The last thing we need is some fanboy type like Blob writing up every player looking like an all pro through his never worn a jock strap in his life eyes.
