@sroche123.bsky.social preview it on Dublin to Denver.

Tarantino, responsible for 2 if not 3 of the worst performances in the history of movies, criticises Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood?

Episode title- sign a goddamed running back Sean!
A 10-2 record built on grit, not glamour

Bo Nix is clutch. The defense is great... but can be run on

With 3 of the final 5 game against playoff teams, the real test starts... after the Raiders

Join @sroche123.bsky.social and I as we discuss if the Broncos built for January?

Baffling, bonkers and bewildering!
Part miracle. Part mystery. Part migraine.

Last week was quite something #BroncosCountry

Now the Jerry Jones circus rolls into the Mile High City (but Dak’s no clown)
