Welcome, July!

We start a new month – and a holiday weekend to boot!

Even better, this will be the month the NFL lockout ends.  Mark my words.  If July 31 rolls around, and we’re still having this conversation, you can find me kicking and screaming form the comfort of my own home.  Please don’t let that happen, NFL & NFLPA.  Please.

Let’s continue on with a look at today’s headlines.

The Broncos are shut out of this “Best of AFC West” list by ESPN blogger Bill Williamson.

On the team’s official site, a full recap of the 2nd annual Broncos County Caravan, which wrapped up earlier this week.

Broncos’ top draft pick Von Miller is featured in ‘Everything to Prove.’  Watch the video on NFL.com.

More on Miller…he’s anxious to collect his first NFL paycheck, writes Associated Press.

A UCLA football player, who battled a blood disorder, is meeting his idol – Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.  FS West has the story.

A former Bronco is arrested, after a domestic dispute involving his girlfriend.  She was also arrested, reports Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Broncos fans aren’t just in Denver; they’re everywhere, including Colorado communities hours away from the Mile High City.

Enter the Broncos Country Caravan.

The 2nd annual caravan kicks off its Colorado tour this week.  Making the trip are the Denver Broncos cheerleaders, Miles the Mascot, former Bronco Ebenezer Ekuban, and two beloved friends – Vince Lombardi Trophy XXXII and Vince Lombardi Trophy XXXIII.

At each stop, fans will sign a Broncos Country flag for display at Invesco Field.  There will also be a mock-NFL Combine, children’s activities, and no shortage of Broncos pride.

For those keeping score at home, it’s Day 92 of the NFL Lockout.  As LT Ryan Clady so expertly tweeted last night:

How true.

Speaking of Mr. Clady he received high marks from the folks at ESPN.  Writers placed him as the 3rd best in his position in the league.

On the team’s official site, wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert discusses the receiving corps and his hopes for Brandon Lloyd to repeat his Pro Bowl performance in 2011.

Also from denverbroncos.com, details of the Broncos Country Caravan 2011, which rolls out later this month.  The BCC reaches out to Broncos fans outside of the metro Denver.

My Fox Orlando has the latest on the Tim Tebow celebrity circuit.
