The Denver Broncos... Colorado is my home state. From the moment the Denver Broncos first took the field on a rainy day in Boston (the first AFL game ever played) it was love at first sight for everybody in the region. The Broncos were the 1st major pro sports franchise in the Rocky Mountain Region. It meant that our state and capitol had "made it". In the beginning years they weren’t very good, and those silly garish orange uniforms with a big D on their helmets were at times, not very tasteful. Good or bad, we loved them. Soon half our wardrobes were Bronco uniforms. They adorned our kids, homes, cars, businesses, restaurants and bars. They also got our full attention every weekend they played. On those very special weekends when the Broncos played at Mile High - the whole region had a holiday. Their presence, good or usually bad had a unifying effect – it was the one topic everybody could talk about and agree about – we loved and still love our Broncos. 

When John Elway joined the team in 1982, the Broncos finally really arrived. We always knew that with Big John, we were always in the game. Since his arrival the Broncos have been one of the most successful NFL franchises. He did it with class and style.. always gracious and mannerly. It's always nice to see a "good guy" do well. He made us proud – he was one of us. Every Sunday he played, life’s problems and irritations vanished as we watched the great quarterback and our beloved Broncos play the unique American game of football. He will no longer be in my home those fall days when the Aspen starts to turn yellow in the Rocky Mountains. – that’s what I’ll miss the most.
For Bronco fans, the last 2 seasons have been as about as good at it gets! We’re going to miss the "dives and drives" Thanks Big John.
The good news is that because DirecTV and the internet, You can keep up on the Broncos.- no matter how far you are from Mile High stadium. Below are links I use to keep up with the Broncos.
