Manning Up

We’ve got to start with my man J.R. from Jupiter, Florida.

First of all, I thank FroHawk27 for standing up for me. Appreciate it.

But anyway, something I expect in my position is to have to deal with things like this and respond to it and it’s not something I shy away from. Something my dad taught me about being a man is to take responsibility when you don’t do so well and be proud when you do do well. So I’ve always been willing to take responsibility and I can think of a plethora of plays in games throughout my life from the time I was playing in Pop Warner to now where I wish I had done things differently and I wish I had played better.

The one that comes to mind first is actually my sophomore year in high school. The last play of the game, we were playing against the best running back in the state. He was a really good running back and also a really good linebacker. I was a sophomore, he was a senior. We were really close to beating them. There was no time left, we were on like the 3-yard line.

I was our running back so they handed me the ball and it was just me and him in the hole to win the game. He probably weighed about 210-220 and I was about 135. My ego got the best of me and I decided to try and run him over and score the touchdown.

Didn’t work.

It’s Amazing What They Call Sports These Days

Fourth of July was a good time. I actually went to a party at the Sculptured House — some people call it the Space House. It’s this fancy, real big architectural wonder in Golden. It’s pretty cool. The house is amazing — fancy and I got the history and stuff. But the best part was the fireworks. Because we were up in Golden we could see the whole city and we could pick out each little area’s fireworks, which was pretty cool. It was fun to see that — good way to celebrate.

We had to come in and work out on Thursday. Nothing important happened on Thursday.

Friday I had a meeting. I think it’s about time that I start to get out and get a little experience in the business world, so I had a meeting looking at possibly buying a real estate brokerage. I took the Harvard Business class, and a couple of things I took it away from that was just to get experience. That’s the best way to learn. And don’t be upset if you get burned because it happens to everybody early in the business. But if you’ve watched me play I really don’t get burned that often, so…

I love that. That was good. I’ll give the people a second to laugh.

Art Fairs, Ultimate Fighting and more…

It was a pretty relaxing weekend. I didn’t even get out of town. I stayed in the lovely city of Denver and I went to a couple of the festivals and things that they were having. So I actually went to the Downtown Denver Art Festival, I believe it was called. It was decent. And I also went to a little fair or festival thing in Washington Park, which was also pretty nice. They were all pretty cool — it was fun.

A couple of people came up and asked me about the Broncos, which is always interesting. I get recognized a good amount, which is nice. To be honest, a lot of the recognition is based on my community involvement. A lot of people — especially older people — just say that they appreciate the amount of effort I put into that which is great. Obviously I don’t do the community stuff for the recognition, but it’s nice to know that people appreciate it.
