Former Broncos Center Chris Myers Retires at 33

10 year NFL vet Chris Myers announced his retirement from the league this morning, thanking his fans on twitter:

Myers was a 6th round pick in 2005, and followed his offensive coordinator, Gary Kubiak to Houston a few seasons later. Many, including myself and others at In-Thin Air has speculated that Myers may follow Kubiak back to Denver. This may have been a situation where Mile High insiders knew Myers was contemplating retirement, and that’s why he was not signed. We will never know if Myers retired due to lack of interest, or if there was lack of interest because he was planning to retire. Either way, he was a class act on and off the field and we at In-Thin Air wish him luck in the next chapter of his life.

Best Case Scenario for Kenny Anunike; Will Be Back in 2 Weeks

As RSH first pointed out to me, all initial reports on Anunike’s knee procedure are positive. Per Mike Klis of the Denver Post:

This is great news. He is still no guarantee to make the team, but his hard work and good personality may likely pay off. He’s been having a positive preseason and TC, and should (along with Antonio Smith and Vance Walker) serve to fill the gap that Wolfe’s suspension will leave.

Need a Quick Takes Fill In

Hello Broncos fans,

I really enjoyed doing the Quick Takes last week, and will continue to do those in the future. Unfortunately however, I’m on an internship in DC and my crappy extended stay America room doesn’t get more than 10 channels. Since I have no access to the NFL network, can someone fill in for me until I get back home? I’ll be back in Philadelphia August 30th, so if someone can fill in for the Houston game, as well as next week’s game, that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Kenny Anunike to Have Knee Scoped Thursday

Just as the Kenny Anunike post preseason debut hype train was leaving the station, this unfortunate piece of news dropped:

Any major injury would be a major blow to this team. Anunike was the defensive star of Friday’s preseason game. He figures to fill a large part of Derek Wolfe’s role assuming he’s healthy. We’ll have more on this as more news arises.

In-ThinAir Fantasy League

Hi all,

For those of you who are into fantasy football, I’ve created an In-thinair Nfl.com 10 team league. You can find it here, and since it’s only ten teams it’s first come first serve. The password is Elway2Sharpe, and the draft will be the Sunday before the regular season at 5 ET. Thanks!

Important Edit: In order to join the league you actually have to go here, and just put the password into the form box. Also, keep in mind, I can change the size of the league so even if you think the league is full, I can expand it to 12 man so apply anyway.
