We’re pleased, thrilled, happy, and frankly a bit befuddled to announce that former Denver Broncos G.M. Ted Sundquist will be joining the PFT team.
Seriously.
Ted will be responsible for a brand-new feature on the site. Each week, he’ll provide a scouting report for three selected games. Then, after the games are played, he’ll provide a scouting breakdown of each of the three contests.
Needless to say, it’s a new frontier for us. Arguably, it’s overdue.
None of it means we’re changing the way we do things. We haven’t, and we won’t, lose our edge. We’re just enhancing the features in order to provide you with an even better experience.
Ted spent 16 years with the Broncos, and ultimately earned the title of General Manager. Before joining the Broncos, he served as head coach as the United States Air Force Academy Prep School from 1990 through 1992. In 1989, he was an assistant coach at the Air Force Academy.
He also has served as an Air Force flight commander, and competed in the U.S. Olympics bobsled team trials in 1988.

Although your background seems to display too much class, accomplishment, and expertise to be on THIS site, welcome aboard.
(this isn’t some kind of “community service” punishment for some petty crime, is it?)

Hey, wait a second, you guys already don’t like Mike Shannahan the general manager there around PFT! This is just going to add fuel to the fire!

Florio, I was gonna chime in when I saw the new front page, but this just solidifies it - your site is becoming quite professional. Great layout, prompt, relevant content and, now, professional scouting. If there’s one place you could really brush up on, its your server bandwidth. I still occasionally get Service Temporarily Unavailable messages and as I foresee quite a bit of growth on this site, that’s one area that’s gonna get hit hard if you haven’t taken the appropriate steps. See about another server or two running in the background to take up the overflow then you’ll be set for the next few years. Keep up the good work and welcome Ted Sundquist!

Damn it Florio, if you keep improving the site I will spend so much time reading it the IT department is going to block it. They have already threated to block Deadspin. Bastards.

He’d be perfect if he had’nt been part of the Donkeys organization.

Great, I look forward into plenty of pointed analysis of Coach Teflon’s egotistical personnel blunders, and game management snafus, and maybe even a couple of personal character zingers!

On a serious note, though, good stuff. So when do you become part of the ‘real’ media?

Ho-LEE-CRAP!
Awesome addition!!
The only way you could top this is if you’d add Meathead Tice as the official PFT ticket broker. Can’t wait for LummoxHub!

Ted is high character and hopefully he will bring a more balanced view of the Broncos. I think. At least he might keep your loathesome ways in check.
Congrats and keep up the great work you provide. This site first for all my pigskin information.
