Elway’s confidence, control brings swagger back to Broncos - Fourteen months ago, amid skepticism over a hire that looked like somebody sticking a shiny hood ornament on a beat-up Fiat, Denver Broncos president Joe Ellis told me that his new executive vice president of football operations, John Elway, carried a ”clear vision of where we need to go.”  Back then, that vision was blurred by the disastrous autumn of 2010 that the once-proud franchise had endured.  This week, it couldn’t have been clearer.  Read more from NFL Network >>>>

Tripucka wasn’t necessarily a great player. Some of his statistics, in fact, are pretty awful. He threw 85 interceptions and 51 touchdown passes during his three-plus seasons with the Broncos from 1960-63. His career record in Denver: 13-25-1.  Read more from Time >>>>
