DENVER (AP) — John Fox and Jack Del Rio are together again.
The Denver Broncos announced Friday night they had agreed to terms with Del Rio to become the club’s new defensive coordinator.
Del Rio was Fox’s first defensive coordinator in Carolina in 2002 before leaving after one year to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars, who fired him in November.
Del Rio replaces Dennis Allen, who left after one year in Denver to coach the Oakland Raiders.
Del Rio is the Broncos’ seventh defensive coordinator in seven seasons. Other men who have filled the Mile High musical chair in the last six seasons are Larry Coyer (2006), Jim Bates (2007), Bob Slowik (2008), Mike Nolan (2009) and Don Martindale (2010). Allen was the only one who left for a head coaching job.

HONOLULU (CBS4/AP) – Six Denver Broncos players are reaping the rewards of having good seasons. They are enjoying an all-expenses trip to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl.
The players all consider the experience a reward. It’s a relaxed atmosphere where they get to hang out with the best players in the game.

Last year the NFL actually played the game in Miami, but this year it’s back really where it belongs, and the players told CBS4′s Vic Lombardi they enjoy everything about the week and the game.
Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey is no stranger to the islands. Bailey is making his 11th trip to the Pro Bowl.
“A lot of people wouldn’t come to Hawaii if not for the Pro Bowl,” Bailey said. “It would be disappointing if they moved it, but I have no say in it. If I did, I would say keep it here because I love it here.”

League and Hawaii officials are negotiating a deal to keep the game in the islands, which is hosting it for the second straight year after it was played in Miami in 2010, breaking a 30-year run in Hawaii.
In Hawaii, the experience for the players is family oriented, relaxed and considered a reward for the hard work they put it during the season.
Players are treated to a beachside hotel to themselves. They sip on colorful, tropical drinks and lounge around the pool, golf or wade in one of the white-sand lagoons at Ko Olina Resort.

The Pro Bowl wasn’t born in Hawaii. It was hosted for years in Los Angeles before jumping around the country in the 1970s, going everywhere from the Kingdome in Seattle to the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
The game was first played at Aloha Stadium in 1980 with New Orleans Saints running back Chuck Muncie leading the NFC to a 37-27 victory. The winners earned $5,000. On Sunday, the winners earn nearly 10 times that amount.
The state is paying the NFL $4 million per game for the rights to hold this year’s game.

Last year’s Pro Bowl attracted 17,000 visitors, generated $28.2 million in visitor spending and created $3.1 million in state taxes from people who traveled to attend the game.
Hawaii Tourism Authority President and CEO Mike McCartney said the agency is still in discussion with the NFL for the future of the Pro Bowl beyond 2012.
“We have enjoyed a wonderful partnership with the NFL and we look forward to continuing this relationship as well welcoming the NFL players, their families and all the fans for an exciting game on Sunday,” he said in a statement.

DENVER (CBS4) – The Oakland Raiders have hired Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen as their new head coach, CBS4 reports.
Allen, 39, did a good job as the Broncos defensive coordinator in his first year. The Broncos defense improved in virtually every category this season.
Defensive stars Elvis Dumervil and Brian Dawkins are in Hawaii preparing for the Pro Bowl this week. Both said they were shocked at the news but happy for Allen personally to get a head coaching job.
The Broncos now have to go shopping for their seventh defensive coordinator in 7 years. Possible replacements for Allen include former Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio and Broncos Linebackers Coach Richard Smith.
Fox Sports and ESPN reported that Allen and the Raiders were still working out final details of the agreement. So far the Raiders have not confirmed the hiring.
Allen will be the first Raiders coach with a defensive background since late owner Al Davis hired John Madden before the 1969 season. Davis exclusively hired offensive coaches after Madden, including Mike Shanahan and Hue Jackson, who was fired after going 8-8 this year in his only season on the job.
Allen had served as New Orleans’ secondary coach the previous five seasons and also had coached for Atlanta before he joined the Broncos.

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller was fined $7,500 by the NFL on Friday for his late hit during last weekend's divisional playoff loss to the New England Patriots that started a near-brawl toward the end of the game.

ROANOKE, Va. (CBS Denver) – As one eBay auction proves, Tebowmania comes in all forms. The latest? Burnt grilled cheese sandwiches.
A burnt grilled cheese sandwich featuring the now-unmistakable image of the Denver quarterback kneeling in prayer, or “Tebowing,” is up for auction on eBay. Since the auction started Jan. 14, bidding has reached $85 – as of this posting — with 46 separate bids being made on the bumbled lunch-turned-must-have eBay item of the moment.
Last Saturday, a New England Patriots fan in Roanoke was hastily making himself a grilled cheese, admitting in his eBay post that his sloppy application of the butter wasn’t going to make the sandwich something to remember. The Patriots were playing Tebow’s Broncos later that day. “I was not exactly expecting a work of art for a sandwich,” the seller wrote, adding that Sunbeam white bread and Kraft American cheese were used for the sandwich.
But when he flipped the sandwich, he found that the butter application gave way to the Tebow-like image, what the bidder calls, “The Grilled Tebow.”
“Stunned…I found myself wondering what the meaning was of this sandwich,” the male seller wrote in the ad. “A sign from God? A cry for help from my lousy frying pan to be replaced? A warning of doom since I’m a Patriots fan? A ridiculous coincidence? I don’t know.
“But the one thing I DO know is that I must share my sandwich masterpiece with the world, and would love for it to find a good home from somebody who’s a much bigger Tim Tebow fan than myself.”
No word yet as to whether the sandwich is still edible.

PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS4) – When it comes to an autographed jersey and helmet signed by Tim Tebow, what’s $12,000 to Donald Trump?
The “Apprentice” star and real-estate mogul did his own take of “Tebowing” over the weekend, winning a signed jersey and helmet from the Broncos quarterback at a live auction at the 30th anniversary of the Susan G. Komen Cure for Breast Cancer gala in Palm Beach, Fla.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Trump jumped into the auction when the Tebow garb came up for bid. Not to be outdone, Trump won a brief, back-and-forth bidding war to win the jersey and helmet with a $12,000 bid.
Whether Trump won the items just as Tebowmania had peaked is unclear to this point. As he won the Tebow gear, the Broncos were getting throttled by the New England Patriots, eventually losing 45-10 on Saturday.

Tim Tebow and the Broncos were pounded pretty hard by the Pats last weekend, but apparently Tim Tebow took an extra shot that would have benched a mere mortal.
In the third quarter Tebow became the middle of a 600 pound sandwich — stuffed by a couple of large Patriots who threw the Tebow sandwich to the ground, then squished him for good measure.
The result wasn’t pretty, but it was pretty painful. So much so, I’m really surprised the guy gutted it out and stayed in the game.
You see, when Tebow landed, he tore the piece of cartilage that connects a rib in the front of his chest to the breastbone (sternum), as well as bruising part of his lung — meaning it bled and turned black and blue. He even got some fluid buildup in the lining of the chest.
If you’ve ever hurt your ribs, you know it’s impossible to get comfortable in any position since the ribs are being compressed whether you sit, stand, lie, or simply breathe. But it wasn’t until Tebow had a couple of sleepless nights after the game that he finally got checked out.
RELATED: Tebow Played Through Injuries In Playoff Loss
An MRI showed the damage. The bad news is that these things hurt like nobody’s business, and if the Broncos had advanced in the playoffs it’s likely Tebow wouldn’t have been able to play. In fact, if he’s picked as Pro Bowl alternate, he’s probably out of that game.
The good news is that the lung bruise will heal. The fluid will be absorbed by the body. He will not require surgery. The lung didn’t get punctured and collapse.
It just HURTS.
But rest, heat, ultrasound, and a gradual stretching program should get him back to normal within 4-6 weeks.
Then again, knowing what this guy played through, he probably would say he’d be ready in 4 to 6 hours.
CBS - Denver
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – Tim Tebow needs more R&R than anyone thought.
The Broncos quarterback played through rib, lung and chest injuries he sustained in Denver’s 45-10 loss at New England in the AFC divisional playoffs last weekend.
He won’t need surgery, is expected to make a full recovery with some down time and his offseason training program shouldn’t be affected in any way.
ESPN first reported Wednesday that Tebow got hurt on a third-quarter tackle, then had trouble sleeping because of the pain and underwent an MRI on his chest Monday.
Team spokesman Patrick Smyth said that while he couldn’t confirm the exact extent or nature of the injuries due to team policy, he acknowledged that Tebow finished the game in considerable pain.
Backup Brady Quinn quickly got ready to go into the game after Tebow was hit by Vince Wilfork and Rob Ninkovich, but Tebow stayed in and finished up.
“It’s just the physicality of playing football. Sometimes you get hit and it can hurt a little bit. But, I wanted to play a lot of the game,” Tebow said after the game.
The outcome had long been decided by the time Tebow got hurt.

“I just wanted to show character. You just continue to fight and it doesn’t change who you are, how you play, how you go out there, you should be the same at all times,” Tebow said. “That’s what I wanted to show, it didn’t matter if it was the first play or the last play or you were down by 42. I was going to be the same player and I was still going to give everything I have. Because that’s all I have to give.”
Tebow wasn’t in the locker room during a one-hour media window on Sunday, emerging with a smile from the trainer’s room as reporters were filing out as the players streamed to their end-of-season meeting with coach John Fox.
On Monday, Broncos boss John Elway declared Tebow the incumbent starting QB entering training camp next summer and reiterated his plan to work with him during the offseason to help polish his passing game.
Tebow went 8-5 as the Broncos starter after supplanting Kyle Orton following a 1-4 start. He engineered a six-game winning streak that included four straight fourth-quarter comebacks that sent Tebowmania into full pitch.
He faded at the end, losing his last three starts, including one to the Kansas City Chiefs and Orton, but the Broncos backed into the playoffs nevertheless at 8-8 as champions of the middling AFC West.
Tebow had the best game of his pro career in the wild card round, when he averaged 31.6 yards per completion, the best in the NFL in 40 years, and threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime for a 29-23 win over heavily favored Pittsburgh and the league’s No. 1 defense.
That was Denver’s first playoff game in six seasons.
While the Broncos brass was delighted at returning to the postseason party a year after a franchise-worst 4-12 season, they said the 35-point loss to the Patriots showed just how far they need to go to return to the AFC’s upper echelon.

Tebow, who didn’t get the first-team snaps during training camp or for the first month of the season, realizes he has a long way to go himself.
“Just work and improve, fundamentals, understanding defenses, footwork, everything,” he said.
Tebow might also have to get accustomed to a new offensive coordinator in 2012. Mike McCoy has interviewed for head coaching vacancies in Miami and Oakland.
McCoy is a hot commodity after retooling Denver’s offense midstream to capitalize on Tebow’s unique skill set. He implemented the read-option that turned the NFL on its ear at midseason and resulted in the Broncos soaring to the top of the league in rushing.
Tebow ran for 660 yards, most by a quarterback in team history, in the regular season and another 63 in the playoffs, leading to concerns among some that he was exposing himself to injury. But Tebow noted that he actually takes glancing blows, if any, from smaller defenders while on the run, making him less vulnerable than when he stays in the pocket and might get sandwiched by 300-pound linemen.
He took every snap for Denver after replacing Orton at halftime Oct. 9 against San Diego.
Tebow ran for six TDs in the regular season and one in the playoffs while averaging 5.3 yards a carry. But he completed just 46.5 percent of his passes last season and just 40.4 percent in the playoffs.
“We’re always looking for balance,” Elway said. “Balance is what we won Super Bowls with.”
Elway and Tebow are eager to see what a difference an offseason can make – they didn’t have that luxury last year during the NFL lockout.
“I feel like I’ve improved a lot in a lot of different forms of my game,” Tebow said. “And I continue to improve and continue to get a lot better, and I believe I can, and I’m looking forward to putting in work.”

CBS - Denver
DENVER (CBS4) – It turns out the season really is over for Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow after he declined an invitation to appear on CBS’s NFL Today this Sunday.
CBS had asked Tebow to sit down for NFL Today with Shannon Sharpe and the rest of the gang before the AFC Championship game.
USA Today’s Michael Hiestand first tweeted the decision by Tebow on Tuesday.
“Tim Tebow has decided not to appear,” CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus said, according to USA Today. “[CBS]is perfectly fine with the (on-air) lineup we have.”
It’s easy to see why the network, which owns CBS4, wanted to keep Tebow on. The last two Broncos games have had huge ratings around the nation.
Tebow and the Broncos suffered a tough 45-10 loss in Foxboro on Saturday night against the Patriots in the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs after defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in their AFC Wild Card matchup.
