DENVER (AP) -Gary Zimmerman had mixed feelings about becoming the second Denver Broncos player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. ``I'm happy to be joining John Elway, but at the same time I'm sad because there's so many other Broncos who deserve to be in the Hall, too,'' Zimmerman told The Associated Press in an interview from his home near Bend, Ore. One of those who he felt should be in the Hall is linebacker Randy Gradishar, who failed to gain enough votes in his 20th and final year of e |

He went from the Colts to the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos, then settled in at age 27 with the Giants, becoming defensive coordinator at 32. He spent 12 years at the Meadowlands, helping Bill Parcells win Super Bowls there after the 1986 and 1990 seasons. That resume made him a head coaching candidate. Hi |

Still, the Patriots became the fifth team with a 13-0 record, joining the 1934 Chicago Bears, 1972 Miami Dolphins, 1998 Denver Broncos and 2005 Indianapolis Colts.

This is the 20th year of eligibility for the seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker and leader of the ``Orange Crush'' defense that carried the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl after the 1977 season. ``It's been fun and exciting for me for the last two weeks to think about potentially making it to the Hall of Fame.

It's the chapter that seemed destined after he led the Jaguars, a second-year expansion franchise, to a stunning upset of the Denver Broncos in the 1996 playoffs. It came painfully close to being written in 1999, when the Jaguars were the best team in the regular season but lost to Tennessee in the AFC title game. Things were never quite the same after that loss. His rules and regulati |

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -Denver Broncos safety John Lynch said Monday he's still pondering retirement even as he prepares for his ninth trip to the Pro Bowl. ``The answer is that I haven't made that decision yet. I'm not being evasive or anything. It's just being true with you that I haven't come to that time,'' Lynch said. Earlier this month, Lynch was named to his ninth Pro Bowl, replacing the injured Bob Sanders of Indianapolis. Lynch has made it to Hawaii in each of his four seasons in Denver followi |

Kaeding was hurt helping to make the tackle on the opening kickoff of San Diego's home win over the Denver Broncos on Dec. 24. The team described it as a bruise. While saying the injury could be similiar to the broken fibula sustained by fullback Lorenzo Neal two weeks earlier, the Chargers never used the word ``fracture'' in describing Kaeding's injury.
