Jim,
Thanks for the memories and for the many years you have taken good care of the Bronco’s historical legacy. As luck would have it, I was at both of those pre-season games! I was only 13 at the time, and my pals and I were able to crawl under the flimsy fence at Hilltop Stadium. (we lived nearby) I guess the statue of limitations has long run out on trespassing. My memory of those games involves Steve Tensi, not Max Choboian. I remember he was acquired for two first round draft choices a few days prior to the Detroit game. I’m also fairly certain he played the entire Minnesota game although I’m bit hazy on how much he played in the Detroit game. I’d love it if someone would be kind enough to fill in the details.
Thanks!

That was a big thing to do steveatwater5, apologies accepted, hope your life takes a better turn, it’s always up and down for everyone, if you’ve been down long enough, it’s bound to go up.

I felt bad right after I posted that im just feed up with everyone praising a guy that I cheered when he got knocked out in the Kentucky game.I go to chruch as well but Tebow just has that creepy cereal killer feel to him like he is not really being honest(just my thoughts)not trying to piss anyone off ive been a broncos fan all my life and you guys are awesome just everything has been falling apart lately in my life,and I don’t have faith in Tebow.just because I don’t like one player doesn’t mean I won’t be sad when he looses which hopefully he doesn’t

but ive got so much love for my team I will try,it’s just hard to root for someone you don’t like.anyways I didn’t mean to offend anyone and I really am sorry…….

Great read! Keep on teaching and giving to the new Bronco fans the history and tradition they need to know! As always keep it up!!

I was at Hilltop, standing on the goal line.
1 of my greatest memories was when Pat Matson scramble blocked Alex
Karras. Karras jumped up and kicked Matson in the head [Karras played with squretoed kicking shoes]. Cookie Ghilcrest ran over and picked Karras
over his head and threw him into the goal post. Cookie stood over him and
was shaking his finger. Karras was carried off the field, once on the sideline
he went nuts throwing his helmet and whatever else. But he never came
back on the field.

Thanks Jim – interesting read on AFL lore as our Broncos won two “exhibition” games vs. NFL Teams.
Is that former Denver Broncos CB #21 Randy Montgomery in above photo?
