Because Thin Air Is Good For You!
On Thursday afternoon, the Denver Broncos received their new playbooks. But they aren't any ordinary playbook. They are iPad playbooks, which the team announced back in April.
A technological milestone for the Broncos today: 90 iPads distributed to the players to be used for playbooks/video this year.

Rob Neyer of Baseball Nation has released his latest Mailbag video on the SB Nation YouTube channel and one of the questions concerns Troy Tulowitzki. Neyer thinks the funk Tulowitzki has been in to start the season isn't too concerning since it's still early in the season (when do we reach the point that we can't say that?) But he does think it's likely too late for the Rockies to compete for the National League West crown. Maybe a wild card spot, but even that might be too hard.
Check out the video below (roughly at the 6:00 mark):
SB Nation recently went to the NFLPA Rookie Premiere and talked with many of the rookies there. In fact, they handed the microphone to Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Dwayne Allen to conduct interviews. He talked with Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler.

If one were ranking the quarterbacks in the league, where would Peyton Manning come in? Possibly at No. 6, as NFL.com's Jason Smith has placed him:
6) Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos: Stop thinking that Peyton's going to be playing with a neck brace and a cane. He'll still be Peyton, and we'll forget about his injury by the first preseason game.
Told not to think about that, it's all I can imagine. GAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
Former Colorado Buffaloes running back Rodney Stewart tore his ACL during rookie minicamp with the Cincinnati Bengals earlier in May, reports Buffzone's Kyle Ringo. He will have surgery in June to fix the injury, but he will spend the remainder of the year on injured reserve. This is the second time he has torn an ACL.
The Bengals signed "Speedy" as an undrafted free agent shortly after the draft ended in April. With such a nickname, we can only hope that Stewart will have a speedy recovery, as the Ralphie Report writes.
Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort is a busy man, which means he can't know the other 29 general managers in the majors. However, he does Dan O'Dowd and, well, Danny Boy is apparently just the best (via the Denver Post):
"He's a tremendous asset," Monfort said. "I can't think of a general manager in baseball that's as good as him. Granted, I don't know all of them. I do get a chance every once in a while to speak with them, but I just think (O'Dowd) is head and shoulders above everybody else."
All right, all right. Stop laughing. OK, laugh a bit more.
Look, if O'Dowd was head and shoulders above all the other GMs then the Rockies would be better than they have been over the last few seasons. Sure, he doesn't determine how the players he acquired actually, you know, play, but when failure is handed out when can dole it out to more than the individual. It spreads up top to the manager and the GM.
And to Monfort himself, as he points out.
Bill Stewart, best known as a former West Virginia Mountaineers head coach, has died at the age of 59 of an apparent heart attack.
Stewart was an Air Force Falcons assistant under Fisher DeBerry from 1990-93, helping the team to three winning seasons and a No. 25 ranking in the AP Poll at the end of the 1991 season. He then went on the coach VMI.
WR Mark Dell is wearing No 15. Update your jerseys accordingly. #broncos

Or maybe just don't change them to "Dell" yet.
I'll Have Another has won the 2012 Preakness Stakes and is now one victory away from becoming the first Triple Crown winner in 34 years. Affirmed was the last horse -- and 11th overall -- to win that distinction back in 1978. While there have been others to challenge since then, it has ultimately proven unfruitful for those horses.
If you are in need of a quick recap of how I'll Have Another pulled out the victory on Saturday, Matt Gardner of And Down The Stretch They Come has broken down the victory in the video below:
Missy Franklin attends Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, CO, and is on her way to becoming an Olympian this summer in London should she be named to the swim team. Just the other day, the school's Senior Send-off turned into an Olympic Send-off as Franklin was honored for her future pursuit of gold medals in London this August.
One other surprise awaited: Denver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker came out to wish her luck in her endeavors this summer. Check out the video of it below:
