The denver Broncos are trying to set an NFL record by giving up no points as they sign LB Terrell Suggs to a 3 year $24 million deal with a $3.5 million signing bonus & no incentives. Suggs commented that the earlier signings of Asomugha & Peppers made him consider Denver even though he had no intentions of entertaining the Broncos previously.

The Denver Broncos continued their free agent spending spree by signing DE Julius Peppers formerly of the Carolina Panthers. Along with CB Nnamdi Asomugha the Broncos have signed two of the biggest free agents. Peppers' deal is a 3 year deal worth $22 million with a $5.5 million signing bonus & no incentives. Coach Jason Griffin said that that he is pleased with the signings, but the Broncos are no where near finished with their spending spree.

Denver Broncos signed former Raiders All-Pro CB Nnamdi Asomugha to a 5 year $43 million deal. The contract includes an $8 million signing bonus and has no incentives. Asomugha & Champ Bailey should make a great CB tandem.

Sorry fellas but this is the first time I have had the Ozzie Jones path and I want to start drafting. So i will give a wrapup of the season. Broncos finished 5-11. Only Pro Bowl players were Dre Bly (9 int's) & Elvis Dumervil (13 sacks). Jay Cutler stunk 52.2 QB rating 14 td's 26 picks and he took every snap. No running game to speak of. leading rusher was Aveion Cason with 484 yds. 4 td's 2.9 avg. Brandon Marshall was pretty good 67 rec. 1189 yds. 6 td's. The Patriots went 16-0 again, but the Colts defeated the Eagles in the Super Bowl 31-10. now that you are all caught up. Lets get to the offseason.

Rich Eisen: We take you out to Broncos cam where we are joined by Broncos Head Coach Jason Griffin. Coach how has it been after two weeks?

Jason Griffin: Thanks for having me Rich. It has been a good ride thus far. We just need to continue to improve every day, but I am as excited today as I was when I accepted the job.

Eisen: What has been the most surprising aspect of the job thus far?

Griffin: Without a doubt it's the demands on my time. Show's like NFL Total Access (laughs) are constantly trying to get the inside scoop. But in all seriousness, the time spent in other avenues besides actual coaching are incredible. When I was a high school coach I spent about 30 hours a week coaching with no media obligations. Now I spend 60 hours coaching and about 15 hours fulfilling media obligations.

Eisen: So are you overwhelmed by it all?

Griffin: The fact that I'm not married helps because I know that the time constraints puts stress on families. Really I'm trying not to become burnt out on the profession, but at this stage I am bright-eyed & bushy tailed. I have a ton of energy for this and I will continue to work until I bring Denver another championship.

Eisen: Good luck Coach. We hope to hear from you soon.

Griffin: Thanks for having me.

ORLANDO OFFENSE SIZZLES IN SOUTH BEACH

Miami, FL (AP) - The league may just want to call off the rest of the season and let everyone save themselves from embarrassment. The Magic put the entire NBA on notice this month, blowing out team after team after team. Their latest victim: the LeBron James-led Miami Heat. Orlando utterly destroyed any thoughts of a Miami win early and just continued to crush the fans throughout the night. The Magic got out to a hot start and ultimately led 24-16 after the first quarter. Miami just couldn't do much of anything, heading into halftime trailing by 13 points. Then, the third quarter happened. Orlando really caught fire, connecting on 15-23 shots, good for 65% from the field, while holding Miami to just 6-21 shooting for 28% from the floor. That allowed the Magic to outscore the Heat 33-17 and put the game well out of reach. "Games like this are so much fun," said Magic forward Brian Happel, "It's amazing when everything's clicking like that. But, to do it on the road, against your biggest rival, it doesn't get any better than that."


VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel dominates Miami, from defense and a dunk, to a 3-pointer and an alley-oop

Happel scored 14 of his 33 points in the third quarter. He finished with 9 rebounds and shot 16-20 from the floor. Dwight Howard has really stepped things up since Arenas went down with his shoulder injury. Against the Heat, Howard scored 33 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and swatted away 5 shots. He also shot 13-19 from the field and made all 7 free throw attempts. "I'm just doing everything my team needs me to do to win," commented Howard after the game, "With G-man down, I knew some of us would have to pick it up so that teams can't just focus on Haps. I'm glad I'm just able to help us keep winning like this and keep the momentum going."

Stephen Jackson was solid on the perimeter, nearly putting up a triple-double with 10 points, 6 boards and 7 assists. Cory Coleman played very well running the point off the bench, dishing out 6 dimes in 21 minutes of action. And, Marcin Gortat also played well off the bench, scoring 7 points and collecting 7 rebounds in 15 minutes.


Miami players had nowhere to go all game long, here DWade is denied by Happel and friends

Orlando's defense was outstanding. Only two players scored in double-figures for Miami: LeBron James had 25 points and Dwayne Wade added 19. Chris Bosh couldn't even put together a double-double, contributing just 9 points and 8 rebounds in 40 minutes of game action. Beyond that, Miami just did not have much help from its role players.

The win was Orlando's ninth straight. The Magic finished out November with a record of 13-1. Orlando is leaving a trail of destruction across the NBA. So far, Orlando is outscoring opponents by an average of 21.5 points a game. Miami ends November with a 13-5 record overall, good for second place in the division and the conference. These teams clashed in the Eastern Conference Finals the last two seasons, and they could be heading there again.


LeBron could only manage a wave as Happel took it in for a monstrous dunk

As if this game wasn't emotional enough. Orlando will stay on the road to face another huge rival - the Boston Celtics. Boston will have revenge on its mind, looking to get back at Orlando for the 105-71 beatdown at the Amway Center. It was a record-breaking performance for Happel in that one:


FLASHBACK: Happel poured in 5 three-pointers on his way to a team record 67 points

First Half Onslaught Charges San Diego to Easy Victory
by Jarrett Bell

Denver -- On their second offensive play QB Phillip Rivers found TE Antonio Gates streaking down the middle of the field and hit him for a 60 yard touchdown and the rout was on. San Diego rode Rivers' three touchdown passes to a 31-7 halftime lead and cruised to a 31-13 win over the Broncos. Rivers threw td passes of 60, 32 & 58 yards. The last two to WR Vincent Jackson. RB Ladanian Tomlinson also ran in a 3 yard run for a td. The Chargers had 410 yards of offense and limited Denver to 39 yards rushing. They also held a 2-1 time of posession advantage over the Broncos. Jay Cutler passed for 203 yards 2 td's and a pick. The td's went to WR's Brandon Marshall on a six yard pass and Glenn Martinez on a 30 yard pass. San Diego coach Norv Turner was excited about the win. "Anytime you can win a division game on the road that is a big win," Turner said. A visibly frustrated Jason Griffin was not as excited. the Broncos head man spoke of going back to the drawing board. "We have to go back to basics. The lack of a running game is making our offense too predictable," said Griffin. The 2-0 Chargers host the New York Jets and the 1-1 Broncos host the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.

Tony Kornheiser: Welcome back to PTI, we are joined by rookie head coach Jason Griffin. Coach how are you?

Jason Griffin: I'm good gentlemen. Thanks for having me.

Kornheiser: Let's get right to it. Coach you are undefeated after your first game so are you ready to announce your retirement on PTI and go down as the greatest coach in NFL history winning percentage wise?

Griffin: (Laughs) I'm not sure I'll be mentioned with the greats if I retire today. I need to strengthen my resume a little. Although I may have surpassed Mike Ditka with Monday's victory. (Laughs) In all seriousness, I was elated to get the first game out the way and to get a victory was amazing. But despite that wonderful feeling all it guaranteed was that we won't go 0-16 this year.

Michael Wilbon: But 1-15 is still a possibility Coach. (Laughs) How are you gonna improve your offense?

Griffin: We need to improve, but I like what I saw in practice earlier today. We had a crispness that we had been lacking lately. I was disappointed that we had trouble moving the ball but the optomist in me thinks that we have nowhere to go but up. I'm putting pressure on our offensive line because they are the key to us becoming a great offense.

Kornheiser: Can Jay Cutler survive all the hits that he is taking?

Griffin: He probably can't. We have to do a better job of protecting him & finding a ground game that he can depend on. Our team needs Jay in order to be effective so we must find a way to help him out.

Wilbon: Brandon Marshall winced when you were first hired & went to the paper to say that a trade may be the best thing for him. How has the relationship been between you two?

Griffin: Brandon has been wonderful. We have very similar personalities and I know that deep down he wants to win as do I. We met shortly after my intro presser and I had a great conversation with him. Since training camp he has been one of the most dedicated professionals on the team.

Wilbon: San Diego is the favorite in your division and you have them this week. Are you willing to guarantee a victory?

Griffin: I'm not gonna go that far, but I do expect a good competitive game. The talent on that team is unreal. You have a hall of famer in Tomlinson & a great QB in Rivers. It really is a case of pick your poison.

Kornheiser: Last question Coach. Eric Mangini is the Mangenius. Bill parcells is the Big Tuna, what should be your nickname.

Griffin: (Laughs) Wow, that came out of left field. I would like to be known from here on out as Employed. I think that it has a nice ring to it.

Kornheiser: (Laughs) Thank you for your time coach.

Wilbon: Thanks a bunch Coach.

Griffin: Any time fellas. I really enjoyed it.

Elam FG Clips Raiders in Overtime
by Jeff Legwold
Oakland -- The Denver Broncos edged the Oakland Raiders 10-7 in the season opener for both teams. Jason Elam kicked a 19 yard field goal in overtime to push the Broncos to the win in an offensively-challenged game. The Bronco defense starred as they accounted for 4 interceptions & 7 sacks. Dre Bly picked off two passes ans Elvis Dumervil terrorized the Raiders offensive line in racking up 3 sacks. Raider QB Andrew Walter finished his miserable night with a 3.0 QB rating as the only Raider points came on two safety's and a field goal. The Denver offense didn't fare much better as they only had 207 yards of total offense. Raider head coach Lane Kiffin said, "This is one of the worst offensive showings I have ever been a part of. We must improve or we are going to have a hard time winning a game this year." Bronco head coach Jason Griffin was pleased at the outcome, but also voiced concerns over his teams offensive performance. "You always want the win, but if we can't give Jay more time & open up holes for our running backs, our defense will have to keep having superhuman efforts like this just to keep us competitive," said Griffin. Next week the Raiders travel to kansas City while the Broncos host the Chargers.
