So this isn’t exactly your standard, run-of-the-mill edition of Denver Dailies.

Think of this as my parting gift to you – like those 1980s game shows. (‘Sale of the Century,’ anyone?)

I’ll be out of town for the next eight days, because, well, I haven’t had a real vacation in much too long.  To be a “real” vacation, first things first: NO laptop.

That’s right; my trusted companion is staying home, so DHF will be taking a mini-break of sorts.

I have, however, written a couple of posts which will autopublish in my absence, so as to give you some reason to keep on visiting.  I will also be tweeting occasionally and posting on DHF’s Facebook, because, let’s face it, I can’t be away from the NFL for too long.  I just can’t.

Enough of my pre-travel rambles…time for headlines.

Peyton Manning’s signing overshadows Broncos’ efforts to shore up secondary - Today’s question about the Broncos comes from Brent S. in Pittsburgh: Q: I am a lonely Broncos fan here in Pennsylvania, and I was wondering how you think the Broncos did upgrading their secondary with all of the organized team activities almost over. Thoughts?  A: Brent, the Broncos’ pursuit of Peyton Manning overshadowed for some just how much time, money and draft real estate the Broncos used to improve their secondary.  Read more from the Denver Post >>>>

Mile Hiatus - The Denver Broncos have about a month-and-a-half hiatus — starting now. Thursday’s minicamp was the last time the team will practice as a unit until training camp begins near the end of July. Players and coaches all have their own thoughts on how the next six weeks will be spent. But with all the progress that’s been made in 10 days of OTAs and three minicamp practices so far this summer, sitting around and squandering it is the last option for any Bronco.  Read more from Denver Broncos >>>>

Denver Broncos: Peyton Manning Following John Elway’s Path - It seems fitting that the person responsible for finally bringing John Elway’s successor to the Denver Broncos was John Elway himself.  The Broncos have had some success after Elway, including some great seasons with Jake Plummer, but for the most part they’ve had trouble finding Elway’s heir apparent. The list of those who have come and gone also consists of Bubby Brister, Brian Griese,Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, and Tim Tebow. The Broncos have won only two playoff games over the past 13 seasons with these quarterbacks at the helm. Now it seems like the organization has found the guy who can take them to the next level.  Read more from Predominantly Orange >>>>

Little Known Broncos Facts: Stadium Souvenirs in Denver’s First Season - A co-worker of mine was complaining to me yesterday about how ESPN’s morning show seems to be devoting at least ten minutes of every program to stories about Peyton Manning. He went on to say that while he has nothing against Manning per se, he also has no particular desire to hear about Peyton every morning.  Read more from Mile High Report >>>>

Will he make the team? If he does, can he make an impact?  The questions are all valid, but there are certain aspects of his game that may point to the answer being on the positive side instead of the negative side  Read more from Bleacher Report >>>>

Adam Weber vying to back up Peyton Manning at QB - There has been a lot of talk in Denver this offseason about second-round pick Brock Osweiler learning from Peyton Manning as the Denver Broncos ”quarterback of the future.” Former Bear Caleb Hanie is seen as Denver’s backup quarterback of the present.  The Denver Post points out a small fact that shouldn’t be ignored. Adam Weber is ahead of both Osweiler and Hanie on the depth chart. Really.  Read more from NFL.com >>>>
