KLEE: Who's on first? Better yet - who's at RB for Broncos?

Sports: Paul Klee Updated: 13 hr ago

DENVER - As the Broncos wrapped up their minicamp at Dove Valley, a funny thing happened with the running backs. A swarm of media swamped Montee Ball, the rookie, beneath an octopus of digital recorders and TV cameras. Meanwhile, the running back who would be the starter right now, Ronnie...

Sports: Broncos Published: Thu, Jun 13, 2013

ENGLEWOOD - Willis McGahee's decision to skip offseason workouts isn't what cost the veteran running back his job with the Denver Broncos. His absence, however, did allow the organization to see ample promise in rookie Montee Ball and abundant progress from second-year speedster Ronnie...

    DETROIT (AP) — Pro Football Hall of Famer Lem Barney is apologizing for comments he made Friday, when he said the sport might be eliminated in 10 to 20 years because it's so dangerous.

  • Brady working to develop chemistry with new WRs

    FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady celebrated his completion by throwing his hands into the air and shouting as if it was a game-winning catch. Whoa, calm down. It was only a pass to newcomer Danny Amendola at minicamp more than a month before training camp and with no one allowed to hit the quarterback. But to Brady, it was a sign that he...

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Willis McGahee's decision to skip offseason workouts isn't what cost the veteran running back his job with the Denver Broncos.

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos guard Ben Garland says his thoughts and prayers are with families near the Black Forest wildfire — including his own.

  • Clark headlines hodgepodge offensive line

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Everybody at Broncos headquarters is operating under the assumption Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady will return to Denver in time for training camp with a new contract and a clean bill of health in hand. Everybody except for Chris Clark, that is. The fifth-year journeyman tackle is preparing as though he'll be the...

  • AP Sources: Tebow signs 2-year deal with Patriots

    FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tim Tebow and Tom Brady took turns, zipping passes over the middle and lofting tosses toward the corner of the end zone. On his first day with the Patriots, the New England newcomer was just a backup quarterback, No. 5 on his helmet and number three on the depth chart. And when practice ended Tuesday, Tebow talked...

  • KLEE: One question around Broncos - is it Super Bowl or bust?

    ENGLEWOOD - Want to know the big story around NFL minicamps? Scan the headlines. In San Diego, it was Manti Te'o (and whether he brought a plus-1). In Washington, the health of quarterback Robert Griffin III. In New England, Tim Tebow. In Denver? "Is this season Super Bowl or bust for this team?" ESPN reporter Sal Paolantonio asked one of...

  • McGahee back with Broncos but mostly as spectator

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Willis McGahee is back in the Denver Broncos' camp, if not necessarily their good graces.

With second-year pro Ronnie Hillman and rookie...

  • Tebow in New England might make sense

    So the New England Patriots now have a left-handed quarterback with a scatter arm, a flair for the dramatic and a feel for leadership. Yep, Tim Tebow. He might as well be Frankenstein's monster, with Patriots coach Bill Belichick in the role of visionary doctor (or mad scientist). Tebow certainly isn't going to unseat Tom Brady as the...

  • AP source: Tebow to sign with Patriots

    FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A flop on Broadway, Tim Tebow is getting an audition in Beantown. Whether he'll perform well enough to make it to training camp with the New England Patriots next month is uncertain. At least he has a chance to prolong an NFL career that seemed at a dead end after he was released by the New York Jets in April. A...
