When team president Art Rooney II met with local reporters last month, one of his first questions, and rightfully so, was about the perception that his team is a “circus.” Rooney didn’t agree, calling the notion “nonsense” as far as he’s concerned.

Now flip the calendar to 2019. Elway again has hired an experienced coach with a defensive background, 60-year-old Vic Fangio. He’s traded for a former Super Bowl MVP in quarterback Joe Flacco.

High-flying Rams run over Cowboys for first playoff win in McVay era
Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay felt the pressure. So did quarterback Jared Goff.

Never bury Tom Brady: The GOAT was toast in K.C. — now he’s back
Tom Brady had to make it back to Kansas City with his job very much intact, didn’t he? If his football obituary was not written at Arrowhead Stadium in the fall of 2014, critics did at least start warming up that obit in the bullpen. Brady was 37 back then, and he was so dreadful […]
