it's not over yet for sanchez. i still think how these two kids perform has a lot to do with his future. >> i know if you get rid of sanchez, you don't have to give up that condition. and you do save money. but this is a good plan b. what happens if simeon gets knocked around off the bat in game one. paxton is going in to face that carolina defense. sanchez is 4.5 million. maybe you can cut that down to two. the other thing working against sanchez though, you hate to keep him on the roster as the number three and then have to give philadelphia a seventh round draft pick, if you cut him, you don't have to give philadelphia that draft pick. that's kind of conspiring against mark sanchez. >> it makes the third preseason game so interesting. >> all the preseason games have been interesting. thank goodness for the quarterback question. something we'll talk about much champs are going to open with a quarterback with no nfl snaps. >> we're going to have an hours worth of you on the pregame show. don't forget. the pregame

>> reporter: because they might not release sanchez. hold up a little bit there on that cartoon cartoon. i think going into the game saturday night against the rams it did look like the broncos were in a position they were going to release mark sanchez. him, but now the three options on the table for him are trade him, release him or return him at a pay cut and talking to some of the broncos here and there throughout the day, i get

if sanchez plays lights out against the bears and simeon struggles, then i think maybe sanchez would be the leader in the clubhouse, would probably start against the 49ers. but if it goes the same way it has, in fact, simeon maybe playing a little bit better than sanchez, then yes, simeon would start against the 49ers, then they make their decision after the 49ers. they have to have their quarterback before that third preseason game. rockies blew another late lead this afternoon. rockies were comfortably ahead most of the game. they allowed the texas rangers to steal it at end for the second straight time. rookie david dahl extended his career opening hitting streak to a remarkable short of the record. colorado led 4-0. but the rangers scored six times in inn lose the third in strange but true. former broncos quarterback tim tebow is giving professional baseball a try. tebow is inviting every major ague team to watch him perform at a k?showcase late he was a terrific ?d?dtter and outfielder in high school but hasn't played competitively in 11 years. even so. it would make sense to si

mark sanchez is not a mobile quarterback. the other two are a lot more mobile and that will be a problem for mark. that's how you set up the play downfield -- is with that option downfield. >> with troy -- we talked to him about those. >> the three quarterbacks make their name is on third down and coach kubiak is not shy about saying that's what you guys are paid to do. first and second down everybody can get completions but you've got to win on third down and put the ball where it is supposed to be. you've got to anticipate windows and understand you are going to take some shots but you've got to be able to pop backup -- pop back up and move the team downfield or >> all right so sanchez started -- does he start game two? >> if it's an open competition which it clearly was entering that first preseason game against the bears then simeon should start. the one caveat is this -- they scrimmage to the niners this week so they could just it to where he gets reps against the niners in practice and then insert sanchez in the game. >

sanchez came in last with just 21%. >> yeah. sanchez impression. but we'll see because on our 9:00 newscast we had a little different outcome on that. so we'll have to see what happens on this one. that's their opinion. we invite you to give yours, consider it an early season warm-up to play armchair coach. go to 9news.com/for now. mark sanchez, trevor siemian or paxton lynch against the panthers. voting is open on and have the results in just a few minutes. >> looks like we've got trevor siemian at 50%, paxton lynch at 50%. mark sanchez with a goose egg. >> now there's a few more people coming in. these can say -- change so dramatically. >> we went to -- okay. we're going to come back and visit this in a minute. clearly we've got -- so we're going to wait this out. we'll make sense in a minute. >> hold on. >> i think they broke the you need to be making east coast money or west coast money. in denver these days even if you put down 20%, you still need to make more than $72,000 a year to afford the mortgage payments. far higher than every college -

sanchez with a few tweaks. sanchez, 9news. denver is 1-1 in the preseason. luckily those don't count. two more games to iron out the case before going head-to-head with the panthers. and you know they are not too happy with how the last matchup went. i know there are plenty of twitter. close call between paxton lynch and trevor siemian. lynch came out on top with 41%. sanchez came in last with just 21%. >> yeah. sanchez did not leave a good impression. but we'll see because on our 9:00 newscast we had a little different outcome on that. so we'll have to see what happens on this one. that's their opinion. we invite you to give yours, consider it an early season warm-up to play armchair coach. go to 9news.com/for now. mark sanchez, trevor siemian paxton lynch against the panthers. voting is open on 9news.com/vote now. we will start adding those up and have the results in just a few minutes. >> looks like we've got trevor siemian at 50%, paxton lynch at 50%. mark sanchez with a goose egg. >> now there's a few more people coming in. these can say -- change so dr

sanchez has had a couple more interceptions i would say. more passes, he has had better balls, when the guy is open he gets the ball in the. he has a nice ball passing wise. sanchez i think has more of those identify a leadership characteristics that you look for in a quarterback. he has more of a presence about him, he knows how to command the huddle. he knows how to get the other 10 guys on offense to pay attention to what he is saying, where trevor siemian laid-back, the broncos want sanchez to emerge as the starter because of all the experience, but right now i think siemian has slightly outplayed him. >> well, mike is usually right about everything, so mark sanchez better step up his game. thank you, mike. >> he will have to step it up just a bit. >>> the defending super bowl champions will play the bears in chicago for the first preseason game on thursday. we will carry the game live on channel 20, pregame starting at 5:30, kickoff at 6:00. >>> okay, this goes to show it doesn't matter the background, the olympics rings people togethe

this was sanchez's job to lose and he lost it, drew, because of all the turnovers. turnover throughout his career. they hopped here with the system gary kubiak and greg knapp coaching him up he would lose his pension for turnovers. he had a pick against the bears, two fumbles last week and he's had some turnovers during training camp, also. i think that was the biggest factor. paxton lynch has actually risen in this race. had there been three more weeks of training camp, i think quarterback against -- legitimate threat to be the starting quarterback against carolina. >> what will we learn from the next decision? >> i feel like you're kind of leading me into being mark sanchez's personal grim reaper here. if paxton lynch goes second, then yes, i think maybe mark sanchez will be dodging the officials in the locker room there for a couple days, but i goes second. he got a lot of first team reps in the last couple days. it could be sanchez comes in second, plays a series or two and the rest are paxton lynch. it's still going to be simeon and lynch i think one, two to st

>>reporter: sanchez says all the right things, good guy. everybody but coming up thhrsday,game one, ncsahezhe starter, troy? have to play a little bettermen he's hadul pick sixes in practice as he'se that, trevs gaing some ground. i know -- you and i havta about this a lot. he got to still win the job. >>ro t you said he's got to play better. based on what? he's placed six years in the guess what? that's what's he' been for yrs. hasn't been a starter. there's been one time in his career where he's won more than eht games. this guy is exactly what hes to quote amer coach, so, y, he's going to not only start the first game; he'soi to start the regular season. we'll see how long he lasts really as i thinkg quarterback. we will see the other two quarterbacks duringhe course of the someone. >> well, lethem play. so muc in practice, wat game situaon. trevth say thede to see him as the starter. da 10 before a huge crowd out there, gary can't say enough good things trevor. >> absolutely. that's theoal. in a heckf a lot of trouble if it happens. but

sanchez had another chance. another fumble. third turn over. 10-for-17. 80.5 rating. two turn overs stick out like a sore thumb. >> i think i have to get the ball out. i can't put pressure line. coach wants to see better. you can't do that. poor play. throws in great spots. i know i can play this game. two really bad plays that took away from a great performance and winning the job. it is too bad. >> wow. you can hear it in his voice in has he lost it >> it puts him in a vulnerable situation. he was supposed to take charge. 6-for-6. everything is working. the one fumble, it happens. the second one really hurt. can they coach him out of his mistakes. >> he was critical. the real 3 in two preseason games. if he doesn't get back in the race it is because of turn overs. >> he is not feeling good about this right now. >> he is determined to bounce back. the issue is will he get the opportunity now? we don't know that. it doesn't feel like he what is behind door number 3? paxton lynch. let it fly. making plays. 8-yard touchdoww play. the 9ers had the next 14 points. another

sanchez much easier to start sanchez if things don't go out. more natural progression go to the second-year guy. try to go back to the veterans. i don't think they want to start a rookie out of the gate. running without purpose. coming up the incredible story behind why does veteran decided to run across the country plus the kindness of strangers on display once again. how one suffolk ask is helping the domain school supplies with both applies are needed year-round and they help in more ways than you think. folks decked out in purple joining a day game at coors field as high thing clouds filter through the city we've had enough sunshine to push temperatures back in the upper 80s and low 90s those type of numbers will stick around for a few days our next cold front david was proud to be an american soldier. and i know i'm prejudiced because he was my son, but i don't think he had a mean bone in his body. there is not a day that i don't think about david. when i saw donald trump attack another gold star mother, i felt such a sense of outrage. not

sanchez starts in chicago. does that mean simeon goes first verses the 49ers. >> the way kubiak was talking about his quarterbacks today, he doesn't want to start any of them against the 49ers. he was upset at the way the broncos practiced today. i'll say this, trevor simeon deserves the chance to start against the 49ers based on how it would be the fairest thing. i'm not sure it'd be the best thing for mark sanchez right now if they did start trevor simeon against the 49ers. but there's no doubt that kubiak likes simeon. and what simeon does that sanchez doesn't is not make mistakes. simeon doesn't make mistakes. sanchez threw another pick in practice today. it's just something where mark looks good throughout most of the practice, but toward the end, or somewhere in that one turn over. >> mike i'm with you. i'd like to see simeon get a start. thank you very much. mike klis reporting live from dove valley. the broncos have all ready begin their season. they'll go head-to-head in their season opener on septembe

sanchez and then simeons and lynch. >> for starters sanchez versus simeon. that's the contest tonight. and it is going to be air sanchez from what we understand in the first quarterback. gary kubiak wants to see passing than you do running especially in that first quarter, not sure on simeon. i'm sure he is going to put it up too and then maybe when lynch is in there in the second half, maybe then you establish the running game with that young offensive line and to help out backs and lynch but this is a contest for the quarterback. sanchez, simeon and it starts tonight. >> the reason it is a contest not because sanchez has not been good, he has what they expect. simeon has been better than what they expect and what gary kubiak hoped to see when they got the kid from northwestern. >> mark sanchez, we talk about the experience that he has and all of the big games that he has played in but it has been four years since he has had that so you can give a guy that hasn't been a starter in four years the job from the junk. and so far he has not been able to shake of

it is open between mark sanchez and trevor siemian. i believe that to be true, but i know they would like to after this game -- at least i think this is true -- have a guy to say you know what? he has the edge. somebody takes control and plays well enough against san francisco and in practice, obviously, to go into that third preseason game as the starter. to start. he the touchdown drive and interception. are you an it will l bit surprised he hasn't been that guy to take control of that job. >> i think it's a little bit more difficult for mark in terms of learning the offense. he has never played in the offense and trevor siemian has. i think trevor played well. and one bad throw you see right there is a throw you can't. if peyton manning makes tha the interception. because it's mark sanchez and he has a history of doing that, that's going to be very important. i think sanchez has played well enough that he is still very firm in consideration for the job. >> now, the other guy is trevor siemian, seems like he has won more practice day

and sanchez transit right over again. to scoring opportunities by the boards three big turnovers from the top two guys 17 ? ten in the end of the first half. on the sanchez playing 13 outs series to start the second half. paxton lynch taking over and tell the third series is finally able to get things going. on third intend to keep going watch this. showing a little escape ability a big strong guy you get into the ground. but he's more mobile. that's a nice scramble shy of the first down but good mobility the pay off to end up 13 plate 80-yard drive against the twos and threes. john fills with the tying touchdown they respond with a 15 play drive from christian ponder 24 ? 17 at another one before but not enough 31-24 the final. some of the tale of the tape mark sanchez ten of 1707 yards. his quarterback rating 80.5 somewhat pedestrian but something you can live with trevor simeon ten of 14. on point 75 yards but that huge intersection that turnover really hurt them a are quarterback rating of just 54.2 paxton links who c

sanchez again the touchdown as well as interception. his past rating rating-we talked to trevor outward the one thing he said he wished he could have gotten done at the end was punched the bowl ball into the end zone. >> i want to get down there in those drives. there are a few things that could have done differently. >> homecoming game for him for some sorts in northwestern graduates and has an family and friends here in the standard i also asked him about mark sanchez has first drive and was interested in his first try. he challenging that he looks forward to as he continues to give people this starting job. still three present preseason teams to go. all in all it was a great win for the broncos at soldier field. >> thank you. apparel is gone patrick roy calling joe stafford today for saying i didn't did have fun i'm not having fun i'm done as coach. >> that i was very surprised. it caught me off guard. we had a good conversation today. after i got off the phone i was also say tim years. >> that's so awkward. >> based are watching. st

against third but it was different what he played versus what sanchez and siemian played. still siemian versus sanchez, and they have to decide, but now, rod, i wouldn't be surprised if they go another preseason game before they make the decision. >> jeff hoffman made his major league debut. he was the top prospect that got smoked in the 4th and 5th. chris bryant belted belted his 31s home run. broncos lose 9-2. outlaws made a second half come back and stole the major league lacrosse championship from the ohio machine. eric law scored the title goal with just 12 seconds left. outlaws win the second cup, 1918. >> way >> nice bobble head birthday boy. todd used to play quarterback. >> you never know! >> you know what i'm saying? >> give him a call! >> the outlaws won the title. >> no qb. >> don't know. >> we will know a week from tonight, again the rams. >>> ryan seacrest here. one last time at copacabana beach with a few of my friends. if you missed any of today, these are thehings you need to know, rio de janeiro, day 15. wen jorgensen won the u.s. a first gold medal in tr

linda sanchez: she has a strong team behind her. and no doubt, trump is very unpredictable and he is very erratic. i think as the campaign goes on and you see more of that erratic behavior from donald trump it , underscores that he does not have the temperament to sit in the oval office and run this country. it creates that real contrast between somebody who is thoughtful and has a strong presence versus somebody who is shooting from the hip all the time and off-balance and not accurate with his facts or understanding the fact that what he says has an impact around the world. what he is saying right now frightens some of our strongest allies. i think increasingly as we march towards the november election, voters will have a clear picture of whether they want a study, competent person at the helm or someone that is temperamentally erratic? fernando: let me ask you about that because you know her. what is one thing that isn't not very well known outside party circles, something that would surprise us to know about her? a quality? a wa

trevor siemian is battling with the job with mark sanchez. both listed as co-number one qbs in the depth chart. this time, trevor goes first. mark will follow. and coach kubiak hopes to make a final decision after the game. >> i would like to tell you it is a quarter-and-a-half. mark started last week, so they should both play somehow, some way. >> this will be trevor siemian's first start since leading north western to a victory over purdue in november of 2014. and, we are live, 9news broncos insider mike klis is at team preseason game to prove he is getting a fair shot. is it that simple or is there something deeper in this decision, mike? >> reporter: start wrapping your arms around trevor siemian. i think it is possible. >> really? >> this is a significant start. i think it is more than just a rotation. for this reason. last week, when sanchez started the a-listers, demaryius thomas, emmanuel sanders, they got in eight to n in this game, the a-listers t good guys as we call them in preseason, they are going to play a quarter, a quarter-an

the broncos demolished them but everyone's optimism is behind mark sanchez. i talked to him off on the side and second chance to make a first impression. he knows he's in a competition for this starting job. all he did in that first drive, three for three, 59 yards including that big strike you showed to do mariuz thomas. a really nice pass to set up a field goal for trevor simeon gutman. he had a chance for a touchdown. bennie fowler couldn't hold on but sanchez made a statement in the first game that he is here to stay. for us. to score on my first drive. not just the field goal but to go down and get six points, to stand there on third down and take a hit. it's nice to pop up from a hit like that. they never feel good but they feel better when your guy is in the end zone. >> it's our first live-action. it was pretty cool to see that kind of success on our opening drive. >> we wanted to watch how they handle things. just that one mistake for mark. he is trying to correct that. he knows that. i thought trevor was good. paxton for the first timeout, thought h

>> reporter: because they might not release sanchez. hold up a little bit there on that cartoon cartoon. i think going into the game saturday night against the rams it did look like the broncos were in a position they were going to release mark sanchez. him, but now the three options on the table for him are trade him, release him or return him at a pay cut and talking to some of the broncos here and there throughout the day, i get the impression that returning at a pay cut is a greater possibility today than it was a couple days ago. paxton lynch looked a little shaky. is paxton lynch ready in quarter 2 to take over against the carolina panthers if say simeon sprains an ankle and has to miss a few plays? i think they're looking a back. >> unfortunately tip tebow is tied up now -- tim tebow is tied up now with baseball, but colin kaepernick might be available soon. john elway spent his entire offseason trying to acquire kaepernick. think he'd revisit that? >> no. if it's permissible to stay on tv, heck no. i don't think -- what happened

he would turn to sanchez. >> . >> all right. a devastate -lg day in minnesota. vikings lost their quarter back for the season. third year while planting his leg to pass. during a noncontact drill. >> . taken by ambulance. a dislocated knee. torn acl. actually they both gone home by now. this was postponed. made up as part of a double header tomorrow. >> . i was a little surprised to see the colorado 8 and a half point in the annual get together against colorado state. the two have actually split the last 4 games. while any opening game would have the butterflies. the match up is even more fun. because of the rivalry. and the desire of both to get off to good starts. >> . one game out of 12. it's a lot of fun. alonging forward to it. >> . one of them has to win. judge lynn: i was distraught this morning. young families have a really hard time in the beginning. and when they have babies without making any decisions, they let their lives just happen to them. that mess brought today's couple to my courtroom. catalano: "divorce court" is now in session. judge lynn: g

fans were excited to see some new faces especially quarterbacks mark sanchez and paxton lynch. most of all, they were excited football is back. you can argue the preseason doesn't matter much. but for diehard fans, it's more about the excitement of what's to come and the first chance to see the super bowl champs back in action. for broncos fans-- it's all eyes on the quarterback position. with bs. so we're asking you-- which potential first- stringer do you think should start? mark, trevor or paxton? we're looking at your results around 6:35. big wins for team swimmer michael phelps-- adding to the list of golds for us. we're checking in with cheryl and matt in just a little bit for an update from rio de janeiro. the united states has been pretty unstoppable in rio this week. we continue to lead in overall medals and gold medals. the u-s has 38 total... 16 gold... 12 silver.. 10 bronze. china has 30 total medals. japan with 22russia has 19... in fifth with 16. the half way point of the summer olympics in rio. if the last stretch is anything like the start we are all in for a tr

not mark sanchez. you think the decision's all ready been made. i don't think the decision's been made. i think tonight matters. but simeon is the leader going into tonight. you want to see how he performs starting the preseason game first i guess. >> what if i told you that i think no matter what happens tonight, unless four interceptions by sanchez, okay, no matter what happens tonight, i think sanchez starts september 8th. just because i think the stage simeon. i think he's a future nfl starter but just not september 8th with the smoke and the trophy and the opening night, no way. >> that's a factor. i think they wanted sanchez to start september 8th but he's been the one that's been making the most mistakes during camp. during the preseason. >> he's too risky, huh? >> a little too risky, simeon is a little more cautious. maybe that's what you want in the opener with that defense again going against cam newton. >>> the thing is, the stage hasn everything we've seen so far, he's calm, cool, he hasn't made the mistakes. it's been incredible to wa

trevor siemian and sanchez are not backing down tphr from the challenge. >> . throughout training camp. we have seen the highs and lows from trevor siemian. and mar sanchez. it looks hroeubg they're going when it comes to press conference personalities. clearly this battle is not over. polished and polite professional. >> . being named the starter for saturday says a lot about what he thinks of trevor siemian. wu but he's not listening. >> not reading too much into it. it's we're putting together some good things. >> . another week to build and get better. >> no doubt sanchez is not quite ready to con seed. this quarter back competition. >> . we're just doing it for you guys. keep it fun. what else would you write about. >> . keeping us on our toes for sure. other news and note. hard to deal with the chargers contract. just got uglier. set to thrive in san diego defense scheme. however they have not been able to reach a contract agreement. today the chargers say okay fine and pulled the offer off the table. to be continued maybe. >> . u.s. soccer suspended hope

one guy who didn't get cut was mark sanchez. kubiak said sanchez would be available to play sunday in arizona should something happen to paxton lynch. he didn't play in the preseason game against los angeles. siemian was named the starting quarterback. >> if things don't work out the way y like a cry baby and cause a problem. i don't think that's the professional way to do it. i'll help trevor any way that i can, and it's a good thing. he's a likeable guy. it could be a lot worse. >>> if the broncos were to trade sanchez, hin min might be interested -- minnesota might be interested. the vikings q.b. left in an ambulance today with a significant knee injury. vikings called off practice after his injury. no word on what examine that injury is -- we'll be getting ready for kickoff of the rocky mountain showdown. this rivalry has traditionally been dominated by the buffs. colorado has won nine of the last 13. >> i'm not buying that they're not a good football team.th team. they kicked our butt last year. it's gonna be a tough tough

mark sanchez and paxton lynch will get their turns but gary yet. all he knows trevor siemian goes first -- knows is trevor siemian goes first. >> down a the nitty-gritty. i will make a decision next week and we will go to work. they put themselves in position to get the opportunity to compete. >> he thinks the best way to decide the broncos quarterback job may be [ music ] >> you can watch the game on channel 20 saturday night at 6:00 p.m. and we are live 9news broncos insider mike klis is at headquarters. supposed to be fair and even competition but trevor siemian gets two of the first three pre- season starts. he is going to win the job, isn't he? >> reporter: looks that way providing he plays well against now proves it was a fair competition. we all assumed mark sanchez was going to be the starter when this started. he was the guy with the experience. what turned out, though, the negative experience he has in his history worked against him. once he threw that pick in chicago, he had two more turnovers with the fumbles against the 49ers, you pile

mark sanchez played the first quarter. he had a pass to demaryius thomas. sanchez, 10-13 for 99 yards. he was sharp, but not spectacular, seven for 12. 88 yards. no touchdowns, no interceptions. he led a couple of short field goal drives. as for paxton lynch, completed six of seven passes. 74 yards. also, no touchdowns. no picks. he moved the ball a bit. but did not put any points on the board. broncos dominated that scoreboard 20-0. the final, and michael spencer was in chicago. so any separation in quarterback competition? >> i think we would be talking about separation if not for the interception mark sanchez drive. he probably won the quarterback battle today even with that interception. he was really good under pressure. his interception didn't come because he was under pressure and threw a pick six like in training camp. all three guys were just decent today. nobody was necessarily spectacular. that is kind of how they felt clear, this quarterback competition is going to live on for at least another week. >> i think they went out and played like they
