[PRBronco]

Clady!!

[BlaK-Argentina]

CLADY! FINALLY!!! VOTE mother****ers!!! :D

[Kaylore]

We're going to bury this ****. If Clady wins this it will give him the much needed face-time in the press which will help the players vote in the pro-bowl and the press vote in the All-pro selections.

[BlaK-Argentina]

I voted for Clady like 20 times already. Come on people!

[Dagmar]

Stewart is gonna walk this I'm afraid.

[Kaylore]

Stewart is gonna walk this I'm afraid.

We've stolen these before. Hillis won for both categories he was in the running for. We can do this.

[BlaK-Argentina]

Stewart is gonna walk this I'm afraid.

Not if you vote. :thumbs: This guy deserves it more than any of the other rookies who have won it. Come on!

[s0phr0syne]

I think that Hamilton will punish him if he does win.

[HILife]

put in my vote:thumbs:

[Kaylore]

I'm calling everyone to the standard! Garcia, it's time!

http://www.blogsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/iowajima.jpg

[Garcia Bronco]

20 down for Clady already. Come on. PUSH!!!

[Kaylore]

I'm already at 65. Remember you can use F5 to auto-refresh.

[Man-Goblin]

Jake Long and Felix Jones being in the main picture every week is funny.

[Garcia Bronco]

Come on vote.

[sutoazul]

ok I voted like 30 times already!!

[MadCity]

I'm stuck at work while pretty much the rest of Wisconsin enjoys a snow day.

Guess it's time to stuff the ballot box.

[Dutch]

40+ and counting........

[TheReverend]

I'm calling everyone to the standard! Garcia, it's time!

http://www.blogsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/iowajima.jpg

I'm going on a week long voting spree, but that was a little over-the-top borderline-offensive comparison...?

[skpac1001]

Who can beat 100?

[Garcia Bronco]

I can't, but I am getting close. On the air and groud we should vote cutler and williams. Get his ego all inflated.

[Kaylore]

I made 100. I timed myself and I can hit 19 a minute.

[Garcia Bronco]

Stewart is gonna walk this I'm afraid.

No wonder the Scots were so easy to defeat. :P

[dbfan21]

I just voted a bunch of times...probably 20-24 times.

I will come back when I have more time...I am at work and have some things to do.

[Smiling Assassin27]

just dropped a 20 spot on Clady.

[Cosmo]

I'm up to 50 or so.

This thread needs to be sticky'd until Friday.

It is the duty of every Broncos Fan to make sure Clady gets this.

[Kaylore]

I'm up to 50 or so.

I agree. No Bronco deserves this more than Clady.

[Cosmo]

I commit to 1000 votes before Friday.

[Garcia Bronco]

These things probably get to arounf 50k in votes on a whole week. We might have 1 grand today. We have to keep fighting. It's not over. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

[Kaylore]

My average is 19-21 a minute. I seriously voted for thirty minutes. My hand hurts a little but that's conservatively 500 votes. I'm going to go in for one more 30 minute barrage after I rest my hand and do some more work so I don't get fired. I bet I can throw 1,000 a day at least. Let's make it happen brothas!

[Cosmo]

If you open a window with 5-7 tabs, you can vote on each tab, then swing down each one to refresh. Doing this you can average about 30 a min

[PRBronco]

Oh man i don't know if i can keep this up until friday, so much ballot stuffing!

[Paladin]

I'm game. The F5 tip was helpful.....

[Cosmo]

Taking a break. I gotta be close to 500 now. whew, hard work. GO CLADY!

[Dagmar]

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

How does that work? I installed it but have no idea how to use it. I'll do it manually till I figure it out.

Clady is the most deserving rookie of any team, and with three weeks left we don't know if he'll have another chance... he HAS to win this one.

[gyldenlove]

Wow, great tip. I'll run this bad boy all day.

I have 1 running for Clady and will make one for Jay as well

On mine, after it installed it and restarted Firefox, there was a tab on the left with the micro and it had 3 tabs; play, record, and edit. Click on the record tab, then the record button, then use your browser to vote for clady like normal, then click stop, click on the play tab. In the box for Repeat Macro; Max, put down how many times you want it to vote for him. Then click the play button. If the macro didn't pop up on the left after you installed it, I have no clue what to do.

I couldn't find a single macro program that would work with the Pro Bowl voting. I downloaded three of them and none of them worked on the pro bowl voting.

[Atlas]

HAHAHA they had to show Clady cut blocking a CB.... Oh well, you can't have it all.

[skpac1001]

Any updates? I think I am around 1400 votes right now.

[BMarsh615]

Any updates? I think I am around 1400 votes right now.

Ive been running 3 macro's since 2:30 in the morning when I first found out about the nominations.

I know I've got a page going. Several thousand votes but it is much slower because you can't vote unless you vote for both categories. I set it for Westbrook. He won that game for them.

Haha, he's been getting my vote too. Deangelo had a great game, but so did Stewart wearing down the defense together.

[Lycan]

Voting now, I'll set a macro or 10 up in a minute lol.

Clady won't just win, he's going to win by like 50,000+. Maybe that will show them what we think of Jake Long. :)

Long, despite being nominated twice (and with stupid stats like "only allowed 2 sacks"), has never won. I can't wait to see Ron Woodson and Dukes have a cow again.

[gyldenlove]

I can't see the voting site in firefox for some reason, did they change it so you can't macro it or is my computer being weird? it works fine in explorer.

[no-pseudo-fan]

We just need Woodyard and Bell to get put up for the award. Best rookie class ever!!!!!!

[gyldenlove]

I got a couple 1000 on Clady yesterday, and about 1000 for Cutler and Westbrook.

It's working for me. My three pages running the macro have now voted 4000 times since this morning. Maybe try and clear cookies?

[Rock Chalk]

Cheaters

[gyldenlove]

I am loving this, it is so Montreal Canadiens

[Kaylore]

Cheaters

Not really.

[skpac1001]

Cheaters

Its not cheating, it's voting enhancers.

If that doesn't work, then I wasn't aware these voting enhancers were in my computer when I was using it.

[Kaylore]

There's nothing that says you can't vote multiple times.
There's nothing that says you can't use macros.

If its not prohibited, especially for a relatively pointless internet fan poll, then its not cheating.

[TheReverend]

Goodell is gonna crack down on this.

Khan will be suspended for 6 games.

are we guaranteeing a victory for Cutler and Clady?

[Flex Gunmetal]

Wow you guys are killing this ROFL!

[BroncoDoug]

well i just voted 1100 times this morning, I'll leave it running over night

Got 3 tabs churning away as we speak. I keep getting a system busy pop up ever few minutes, am I doing something wrong?

[Garcia Bronco]

Goodell is gonna crack down on this.

I'll pay his fine.

[Smiling Assassin27]

Clady's gonna win in the biggest landslide in the history of the award! Well done, gents.

Well, I can't doa macro, but I am stoked that you guys are.

[skpac1001]

Got 3 tabs churning away as we speak. I keep getting a system busy pop up ever few minutes, am I doing something wrong?

No, I get the same thing. The bigger problem for me is once every 4-5 hours I get a input error that shuts off the macro. Messed up my overnight enhanced voting.

[gyldenlove]

No, I get the same thing. The bigger problem for me is once every 4-5 hours I get a input error that shuts off the macro. Messed up my overnight enhanced voting.

Mine too, I had it set up over night with 3 windows for Clady and 2 for Cutler, but they all got messed up, I have been churning away today on my Linux box and it is currently sitting at about 1000 since this morning.

[BroncoDoug]

When/Where do they announce the winner?

[Kaylore]

Goodell is gonna crack down on this.

Khan will be suspended for 6 games.

Spider will throat punch him for me.

[Kaylore]

No, I get the same thing. The bigger problem for me is once every 4-5 hours I get a input error that shuts off the macro. Messed up my overnight enhanced voting.

I had the same issue. You just have to check it every couple of hours. You figure with as many of us running this as we are, the thing is pretty busy. ;D

[Garcia Bronco]

Don't get greedy. There are ways they can isolate the transaction and eliminate it.

[Kaylore]

Don't get greedy. There are ways they can isolate the transaction and eliminate it.

I really don't think they care. We bombarded it for Larsen and Hillis and neither should have won based on who they were up against. Besides I think the network wants a lineman to win it at least one week.

[skpac1001]

Don't get greedy. There are ways they can isolate the transaction and eliminate it.

I bet they are pretty happy about it. They can tell Diet Pepsi that page is getting a huge amounts of hits and then charge them more for advertising.

[DeusExManning]

When/Where do they announce the winner?

When do they announce, hopefully fans from other teams aren't wise to the macro as well.

[BMarsh615]

They announce it Friday at noon.

[DeusExManning]

Has anybody been able to figure out the macro for pro-bowl voting?

[s0phr0syne]

man, with you guys running macros, I don't know what the point of my manual voting would be.

Keep fighting the good fight, I guess...

[BroncoDoug]

well i got about 1600 votes in before my internet crapped out, I'll try again tomorrow

[DeuceOfClub]

I left my work-computer last night with 5 Firefox windows running iMacros for Clady. To avoid errors, in the Options Menu (EDIT tab) I selected Slow Speed, unchecked both visual effects and increased Timeout limit to 300 sec'.

The tally this morning was just over 16,600 votes.

I'll try to run one tonight.

Godspeed.

That's awesome. I've still got mine running. I'll run them until we can't vote anymore. If Clady doesn't get it we'll know they kill overages from the same IP.

Jeez, after reading about all your macros I suddenly feel like I'm trying to put out a house fire with a squirt gun while the Fire Dept. is standing next to me. Oh well I'll keep throwing in my 50 - 60 votes every chance I get.

Cutler, Williams voted FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week
NFL.com


Quarterback Jay Cutler of the Denver Broncos and running back DeAngelo Wiiliams of the Carolina Panthers are the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week for games played from Dec. 4-8, the NFL announced Friday.

Cutler completed 32 of 40 passing attempts for 286 yards and two touchdowns in the Broncos' 24-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Williams rushed for 186 yards over 19 carries and scored two touchdowns in the Panthers' 38–23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

Cutler and Williams were selected from among six finalists in Air and Ground categories. The other FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week finalists were quarterbacks Shaun Hill of the San Francisco 49ers and Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans along with running backs Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans and Brian Westbrook of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fans will be voting for more than their favorite player. As part of the Air & Ground program, for the first time, FedEx is teaming up with Safe Kids USA -- a national non-profit organization that works to prevent accidental injury among children -- to deliver safer kids by making weekly $1,000 donations in the winning players' names. The funding directly benefits local Safe Kids coalitions in that team's city, to fund pedestrian safety improvements throughout the year. This year, FedEx celebrates its fifth year of the program and will surpass the $1 million mark in funding to create safer communities for children.

New this season, fans can tune into the "FedEx Air & Ground Lowdown" posted only on NFL.com/FedEx starting Wednesday mornings. The show examines the nominees in the Air & Ground categories through exclusive video highlights and expert analysis. NFL Network's Marshall Faulk and Terrell Davis host the weekly show.

FedEx, the premier global provider of transportation, e-commerce and supply-chain management services, is the Official Delivery Service Sponsor of the NFL, Super Bowl and Pro Bowl. Through the weekly FedEx Air & Ground Awards, FedEx recognizes those NFL players who represent the same speed, precision and teamwork that their customers have come to expect from the full range of FedEx air, ground, freight and international shipping services, delivering safer kids in the process. With thousands of trucks out on the roads each day, FedEx is committed to improving pedestrian safety for children, by funding education programs and environmental improvements, from signage and crosswalks to pedestrian walkways near schools and

Broncos tackle Clady voted Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week

NFL.com

Voters on NFL.com and via Sprint wireless service have made their choice. Tackle Ryan Clady of the Denver Broncos is the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for games played on December 4-8, the NFL announced Friday.

Clady led a Broncos' offensive line that allowed QB Jay Cutler to pass for 286 yards and two touchdowns, prevented Kansas City from recording a sack and allowed Denver to total 139 rushing yards in the Broncos’ 24 -17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Clady was selected from among five finalists through fan votes on NFL.com/rookies and via Sprint wireless service. The other finalists were cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie of the Arizona Cardinals, running back Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans, running back Steve Salton of the Houston Texans and running back Jonathan Stewart of the Carolina Panthers.

After the regular season, five players will be nominated for Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year honors. Fans can vote for the winner on NFL.com/rookies throughout the month of January. The winner will be announced at a press conference at Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa Bay.

This is Pepsi’s seventh year as the official soft drink sponsor of the NFL and the fourth year that Diet Pepsi will present the NFL Rookie of the Week and NFL Rookie of the Year awards

Now lets figure out how to vote probowl people.

[Kaylore]

So how many times has Cutler won now? Three? And how many rookies does that bring this to?

[Garcia Bronco]

5 rookies and 3 times Cutler has won

Rookes are Hillis, Larsen, Royal(x2), and Clady

I do feel bad for Slaton. guy hasnt won yet and has absolutely deserved to win this award at least once.

[Garcia Bronco]

5 rookies, 4 of the last 5, actually.

Hillis also won ground player of the week. So out of 39 possible offensive awards The Broncos have won 9 or roughly 25 percent

[MagicHef]

I do feel bad for Slaton. guy hasnt won yet and has absolutely deserved to win this award at least once.

Also, in the article, they spelled his name "Salton."

[sutoazul]

Great job everyone!!! I'm glad that Clady finally got some love with an award. Do they at least get a case of Diet Pepsi or something???
This morning I must have check the nfl.com page like 8 times at least!!! Until I decided to check in here and see your reactions first!!
Again... Great effort and excellent job, Clady deserved this!!.

How awesome will that be if we steal this for Royal or Clady? If nothing else it will kill the fan vote for the thing. That would be nice.

The Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Year is exactly that. The real OROY is done by the AP. The point however is when he media guy picks up a media guide these honors will e mentioned. It's a good investment.

Clady was named Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week, the first time an offensive lineman has won the award since it started in 2004. Clady led an offensive line that allowed Cutler to pass for 286 yards and two touchdowns, prevented Kansas City from recording a sack and allowed Denver to total 139 rushing yards in the team’s 24 -17 win over the Chiefs.

Haha those guys think Clady won the award fair and square.

I wonder how long until the NFL decides that Bronco and Steeler nations are stacking the odds against deserving players - not that Clady isnt mind you, but this past week was hardly an indication now the week we played Atlanta was.

Rod Woodson even mentioned it. Something for the ground player of the week had no steelers or broncos so the fans couldnt tilt the balance :) Hilarious.

Actually it was Dukes during the coach of the week segment he said "There are no Broncos or Steelers in this so everyone has a chance this time."

Didn't want to start a new thread but found this on Clady... This time we have a Clady hater.

Iron Clady

When the Broncos selected offensive tackle Ryan Clady in the first round of April's draft, few expected the rookie to play at an all-star level during his first season. But after watching the former Boise State star shine during his first year, several scouts are already hailing Clady as a perennial Pro Bowler.

"He is a good young player," said an AFC South scout. "He will definitely be a Pro Bowler in the near future, if not this year."

Clady, who entered the draft after an All-American campaign as a junior, has been outstanding manning the left tackle position for the Broncos. He has only surrendered a half sack of QB Jay Cutler and has only three penalties on the season. Clady has been so solid at the position that the team has been able to leave the rookie singled up in pass protection regardless of the opponent. That tactic speaks volumes about the youngster's ability considering the slate of pass rushers Clady has faced throughout the season. Pro Bowlers John Abraham, Joey Porter and Shaun Phillips are a few of the league's top sack artists who have been stymied by the impressive rookie.

With his star pupil excelling against the best the league has to offer, Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan has been effusive in his praise of the youngster.

"I've never seen anybody do what he's done as a rookie," Shanahan told the Rocky Mountain News."He doesn't have penalties, doesn't have missed assignments. We don't double-team his guy. Sometimes a guy will have a good year because we double-team to that side... To not have to double-team people, to just say, 'Hey, you've got that guy regardless of who it is,' that doesn't happen in this league because there're too many top players."

Although Shanahan and others have placed Clady in the elite category, some scouts are still reserving judgment before proclaiming the rookie an instant all-star.

"He has been good, but not great, in my opinion," said an AFC West scout. "He is solid in pass protection, but only a marginal run blocker at this time. I don't see him as a Pro Bowler in 2008, but I can see him developing into a Pro Bowl-caliber player in a year or so."

the AFC West scout probably didn't rank Clady as high as he should of and he's hoping he isn't as good as he looks.

Which awards have the Steelers won?

No Diet Pepsi rookies of the week.

Big Ben won the FedEx Air one week...

Tomlin won 3 times...I assume that was what he was referring to?

Now with the Broncos he has a point.

Shanny x 1
Cutler x 3 (3 out of the last 5 weeks)
Hillis x 2 (1 ROW and 1 Fedex ground)
Larsen x 1
Clady x 1
Royal x 2

10 out of a possible 56.

The fourth guy from the left looks like a young Ronald Reagan. Who is that? in fact who is that guy and the middle guy? I figured everyone else, but those two elude me.

Middle is Scheffler, one to the right is Stokley.

Yes.

How awesome will that be if we steal this for Royal or Clady? If nothing else it will kill the fan vote for the thing. That would be nice.

I like that he won. But the comment in the article was a little tongue-in-cheek, I think:

"Clady led an offensive line that allowed QB Jay Cutler to pass for 286 yards and two touchdowns, prevented Kansas City from recording a sack and allowed Denver to total 139 rushing yards in the Broncos’ 24-17 win over the Chiefs."

Thwarting the KC pass rush is kind of one-fourth of a compliment. Tearing off 139 yards against their run D is another fourth.

Who is Shaft? The girl on the left looks like Jay Cutler in drag. She's kind of homely. She'd better be rich.

I agree, the fans should not vote, if the experts voted they clearly would have voted for Clady... every game this year.
