Does ESPN Cover the Broncos At All??? - The Orange Mane

BroncoBuff · 08-01-2008, 01:33 AM

I know that I Tivo "NFL Live" every single day ... but I haven't seen a single mention of Rod Smith's retirement or the John Lynch thing. Are they ignoring both these events?

And do NOT mention NFL Network in reply

.

NFLBRONCO · 08-01-2008, 01:36 AM

If Rod was in NE Indy or Dallas he would get press but, not here. It's a darn shame he desrves to be honored. ATH and PTI has not either.

I think we should email ESPN about it. I already tried PTI but, figure we would need alot more fans to do it.

Didnt you hear that Tom Brady took the fiercest of dumps this morning? I mean it was an all out exertional effort. Thank god ESPN had the NFL live crew all over that. Im sure Trey Wingo was first in line with the toilet paper too.

Who gives a flying **** about what ESPN says about anything?

And...Uh...That other thing. I can't remember what it's called right now, but it's some sort of Channel dedicated to the NFL.

MechanicalBull · 08-01-2008, 06:03 AM

I used to hate it and think it was annoying but I gave up on espn awhile ago. IF Jabbar Gaffney retired they'd probably open their shows with it.

NFL Live was broadcasting from Charger's training camp yesterday and spent the first 27.5 minutes of the show yapping about Brett Favre's child-like enthusiasm.

Every time i watch NFL live they have something to say about Favre...hell, they even have a tab dedicated to just favre down on the ticker at the bottom of the screen...it was ok for a first few days but its just flat out annoying at this point..just get the **** done and over with already...i haven't heard them say a word about the Broncos, not even the Marshall situation...**** ESPN!!

no-pseudo-fan · 08-01-2008, 07:22 AM

This is the main reason we get screwed in HOF voting. No Press. They did at least mention Lynch retiring, in regards to how Brett Favre blah blah blah.

RaiderH8r · 08-01-2008, 07:28 AM

Is Brett Favre coming to Denver? Then no, we won't be mentioned on ESPN.

Ray Finkle · 08-01-2008, 07:36 AM

You still watch ESPN? Only time I turn that crap on is to watch ESPNews and catch up on the scores.

Half the people who work at E!SPN are from New England. Perhaps you remember the Hank Steinbrenner quote? With that in mind, it should come as little surprise that E!SPN conveniently chooses to ignore the Broncos. 1) The Broncos are a sore spot for Pats fans given our success against them and 2) E!SPN totally throws due diligence out the window when it comes to sucking up to major markets. I live in Chicago and they often will focus on sports in Chicago but the thing is, many people here hate E!SPN just like in other places. E!SPN, is little more than a regional network and beyond that its a suckup to what it would like to assign as cache...and since the Broncos have had so much success against NE and also because they are a smaller market, E!SPN chooses to assign the Broncos little cache.

kamakazi_kal · 08-01-2008, 09:10 AM

did you see on sportscenter last night that Tom Brady pumps his own gas!!! OMG!! WTF!! Pwned!!

If he did come to Denver, we'd no longer be hearing about him.

chickennob2 · 08-01-2008, 09:18 AM

Well part of it is that Rod Smith didn't play a down last year. If he had done this after the 2006 season, after successfully playing a whole season, this would get much more coverage. But after week 6, when he was shifted from the PUP list to IR, this was inevitable. So its just not that big of a deal to the media. At least not in hte "breaking story" kind of way.

This is exactly it IMO. I've mentioned it to more than a few people around here who are big NFL fans and their replies were all the same....."oh, I thought he retired last year."

Kaylore · 08-01-2008, 09:46 AM

NFL network did a special segment on both.

Saw it and it was good coverage.

On a side note. I love the channel that discusses the NFL exclusively.
Cant remember the name, but i watch this channel for ALL my NFL related information and breaking news.

broncofan2438 · 08-01-2008, 10:15 AM

Does anyone have the feed from First and Ten today?

Is there a clip from this online?

TheChamp24 · 08-01-2008, 10:43 AM

Just saw the little tidbit they did with Lindsay Jones today on First Take.
Lindsay was really nervous(I'm assuming because she repeated herself a lot).
But it was basically what we know.
Talked about the DL and hoping the rookies last year make a difference this year.
Talked about Cutler and him entering his 3rd year, expecting big things from him. Also the DIABEETUS.
Talked that the team thinks its a playoff team this year.
