First I have to apologize. I’m really trying to get a new blog entry at least once a week. Clearly, that hasn’t happened. But I’m committed to making it work. So, I always have a hard time thinking of something to blog about. To me most of what I do seems so regular, that I don’t think it’s blog-worthy. But I forget that you people aren’t living the life of a Professional Mascot, so it’s different. Like, I would love to hear about how you poured over some spreadsheet, or forgot to put a cover on your TPS report, or plumbed up a bathroom wall. Anyway, so I’ll tell you about my appearance today.
Every month I make a visit to one of our partners’(HealthONE) facility. This month it was Presbyterian/St. Lukes. Guided by my trusty escort Angie, we made our way through the maze that is the different floors and departments of the Hospital. We usually just head toward the floors where the kids are, but today we stopped off at the NICU. That’s where the really sick little babies are. And when I say little….wow I mean little. Some of these babies are the size of a burrito. I like that analogy, because burrito literally means, “little donkey.” Anyway, so I visited some little babies that didn’t even know I was there, but I’m pretty sure the moms and dads appreciated a little levity(look it up) and it’s cool to know that Miles is their first autograph. Not to mention all the nurses that take care of the babies, they’re Broncos fans too!
Then it was off to our regular stops. Unfortunately, I get to know some of these kids because I see them every month or so. That is to say, it’s unfortunate that their stay in the hospital is so long that i see them more than once. It’s always a little bittersweet when I find out that someone has gone home. I’m glad they are getting better, but I miss visiting with them as well. There’s a great little guy that I usually see that I always have a lot of fun with, but today he wasn’t there. Good for you!
So my last stop is usually the cafeteria. This is great because you get a mix of patients, family, doctors and nurses there. The kitchen staff are big fans of Miles too! This week is Hospital week, so they had a Jazz Band playing while people ate. I got to cut a rug a little bit as I signed some autographs as people dined. I hope I was able to put a smile on some people’s faces on a gloomy day.

The Broncos are lucky to have such an awesome mascot. I’m happy to hear that you are brightening the lives of people from ages newborn to probably the age of 101. Keep up the good work. (And try harder with the blogs, you can do it!)
good stuff man. keep it up miles.
Are you serious?! A blog from a mascot, cmon you guys can do better than that! Bring back Mason and get rid of this circus….please.
dont be a funsucker hollis
I worry about those little babies. My cousin’s little girl was one of these “burritos.” Thankfully, she was able to take her home about a week and a half ago.
Yeah, this is really a good fill-in for Mason (rolls eyes).
I used to visit the site daily. Now I go to the Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News, Mile High Report and BroncoTalk.net. The site just doesn’t have as many new stories anymore.
For the record stephanie and Mountain Man, I was blogging before Mase left. Did you click on my blog thinking you were going to get the indepth team analysis provided by those types of guys? I’m a horse. Next thing you know you’ll be knocking on Thunder’s door to see how the new draft picks are coming along.
Miles ~ I hate to pick on a charitable horse but I never read your blog when Mason was there. I need my daily Bronco fix so I am now forced to read it. Since you actually replied, I now feel like a horses ass for being rude. I will read your blog everytime and say nice things from now on to alleviate my guilt for picking on an animal with a charitable heart that far exceeds my own. XOXO
What you did was great, Miles, and I do feel like a horse’s ass, as Stephanie said. But the overall site just isn’t what it used to be before Mason was forced out. That much, a horse can’t change.
don’t feel bad guys, i can get a little snarky. I’m just saying that with the changes around here it’s going to take the internet crew a little time to fill in the gaps. Filling Mase’s shoes is hard enough, but we’ve had to absorb other staffing responsibilities as well, and I’m sure those guys are doing their best right now, but it’ll take a little time to get back up to speed. We all appreciate your dedication and desire for info abou the team. So, if it must, this can serve as a subsititute, for however short that may be. So, give us a little slack, and you’ll be knee deep in Broncos info in no time!

I now get all of my info from Bronco Madness (www.broncomadness.wordpress.com).
I like to here about the day in the life of Miles keep up
the great work and this year it would be nice to see the
Mascots beat the Pee Wees…. best half time event ever.
Miles, you are a Bronco and knowmore than I do so keep up the good work. Of course we will miss Mason but he ain’t here no mo!
Miles, I never thought I would say this about a horse, but you are one classy dude.
Thank you for representing the “oh, so loved” Orange and Blue with such class. We are so proud to have you as our Mascot. (capital “M”)
Smooch!

We’ve been snarky horse fans since Day #1…keep up the good work…
Three Cheers for Miles (and a roundoff super flip dog with 1 1/2 twists). Anyone interested in my cheer club C.H.I.V.E.S please ask Miles, he is working on getting us set up at training camp for a very extra special routine called “The Horses Must Run Wild.”
Miles-
I have a few questions and was wondering if you could be of some help.
1) According to recent reports it appears that a spin-off of the popular 90′s show Beverly Hills 90210 will be hitting the airwaves. My question is 2-part…First do you believe David Silver is one of the most underappreciated entertainment acts in our lifetime? and as a follow up Were you as happy as I was when Donna Martin did in fact graduate?
2) I am not a huge fan of ketchup but I do not think these people that have been holding protests to ban it from the United States are really using their resources effectively or for the greater good and I certainly will not do any cheerleading rountines for them….Thoughts?
3) Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? (My guess…San Diego)
4) If you could be any type of Dairy Queen dessert what would it be?
5) Paper or Plastic?
6) Finally, please rank these area weathercasters in order of your approval.
A) Marty Colignio
B) Becky Ditchfield
C) My Friend Seth
D) Dave Aguilara.
Thank you in advance and please say hi to Bobby Maestas when you have a chance, he is a real hunk.
Miles-
I just saw Travis Henry was cut. I must say I’m disappointed. You see just like Travis, I have nine children. No man has done more to dispell the myth that a man can’t have multiple children with multiple women. While I do find it difficult to support all nine on a male cheerleader’s salary, I often freelance with my side projects. Currently I have three projects that subsidize my cheerleading salary. They are a training academy for people looking to audition for Randy Jackson’s Americas Best Dance Crew, selling my goulash recipe on eBay, and I teach a class on poker faces. My goulash is delicious.
Well I must be getting back to work. I have to get over to 24 Hour Fitness for my Dance Crew academy. If you would like to attend and have goulash or any other Hungarian staple, check yes___. If not check no____ and I will whip you up some of Nat’s famous pie from the Peach Pit.
PS are you able to baby sit on Friday’s?
Aggressively,
Adam
Adam,
I find it hard to reply to you, as there are so many points you bring up. But I’ll give it a try.
1.
A. NO
B. No
2. I’m pretty indifferent about ketchup. Now Catsup, that’s a condiment i can get behind.
3. I always thought that San Diego was a suggested place. I always read it like, “Where in the world is Carmen, San Diego?
4. Chocolate ice cream blizzard with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
5. Pastic! Why choose?
6. I don’t watch the weather, If is see my buddies huddles in the corner of the corral, “It’s gonna rain!”
7. Yes X
No
8. I’m not a very good choice for baby sitting. My form of discipline is nipping and biting. Yes, I’m a biter.
Thanks for taking the time to go there and do that. I have had a younger brother and sister there and I bet they would have loved to see you.
thanks,
kyle
