I went to the Denver Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year banquet that I went to on Friday. I was there with Champ and Boss Bailey, who came with his wife. It was my second year going, I went the year before. It’s always a great function because it is a big fundraiser. They raise tons and tons of money for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.
They honor somebody every year – last year they honored Pat Hamill, who is the Chairman of Oakwood Homes. He and I have become friends since then. This year, they honored Pat Bowlen, who is one of my favorite people in the world, he signs my checks. I guess I have to change my name to Pat to be honored by them.
It’s a great event to raise money for the Boys and Girls Club. One of the cool things about it is the entertainment is singing and dancing and poems written and performed by kids from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. It’s always impressive because the kids are really, really talented. Since I’m normally at the Boys and Girls Club once a week – the Broncos branch – I know a lot of the kids that won and I know a lot of the kids that performed. So, it’s very personal which is pretty cool.

Well to start off, I always welcome in new teammates with open arms. I know Boss Bailey, through Champ, obviously, and we have hung out a few times. He is a great guy, a great athlete and a great addition to the team. The other guys I don’t know as well but I am looking forward to meeting them and getting to know them and welcoming them to the Broncos. That is assuming I will still be a part of the team. This time of year, you never know what is going to happen.
Let’s see what have I been up to? Chris Rock was in Denver; I went to that and it was a great show. It was really really funny and one of the good things about comedy is you can have your own little social commentary and disguise it as jokes. That is one of the reasons that I like Chris Rock; he is one of my favorites because a large portion of the stand-up was just his opinions and social commentary in general. He talked a lot about the elections and it was all very hilarious and eye-opening at the same time. I assume it will be on HBO; that is what Chris normally does. So I highly recommend it when it comes out or if he comes back to Denver.
