NFL Team Sites Review - Denver Broncos

I must admit right up front that I'm a football junkie who cruises NFL team websites top to bottom to get as much information about them as I can to win all my sports bar arguments.  I also learn their blog site information to get a pulse from not just their websites but the people in their area who are a little more objective about the team even as fans of that team. The 49ers started out the cruise and now we travel to Denver to look at the mighty Broncos who are really popular in the west and because of their Super Bowls they have a national following.  We'll start the off the Broncos cruise by going to their NFL Home site to see how their represented.

The Broncos NFL Home site is a mess and doesn't load entirely when you enter.  That as a first impression is terrible because you're left to wonder what is trying to load instead of enjoying what else the page has to offer. They have some videos, some galleries, and the ticket center which is smack dab in the middle centered in the page.  It looks like a rookie setup and I'
m amazed this organization is represented like this.

The SB Nation Page Mile High Report is pretty well done with loads of multimedia content. SB Nation does a real good job of mixing reporter content with fan posts and fan shots which gives a voice to the fan who of course pays all the bills.

Fansided offers the Predominantly Orange blog as a voice of the fan with editorials, team news, rumors, and opinion. The Fansided Network, which is a subsidiary of Sports Illustrated, does a really good job of putting links together to form a view of a team from various sources in addition to the aforementioned editorials, news, and opinions.

We'll close out this review and cruise with the juggernaut media leader ESPN who offers a team page through their NFL Nation link.  Jeff Legwold is the Broncos' reporter who covers the team and he does a pretty good job of reporting what's happening with the team.  ESPN has done a great job of hiring a beat reporter that has already established a base and supporting them with their resources.
