Flowers and Candy are LAME!

February 2nd, 2009 - 12:01pm by MilesOther posts by

What you need to give your favorite someone is something they’ll remember forever.    Picture this: You’re in your cube at work, bored out of your skull, and staring at all the flowers and candy that all the other significant others have sent to your coworkers.  You’re drowning in a see of mediocrity and sameness.  Just then, Miles busts through the door, climbs over the cubicle walls and makes his way towards your desk.  There’s music, a shower of Broncos swag, some dancing, a quick flash, and the last thing you see is Miles heading out the door, hi-fiving your boss.  Everyone is hovering around your cubicle talking about how awesome that was, and singing the praises of whoever it was that LOVES you enough to do that for you for Valentine’s day.  Instant Memory.  Years later you recount the story after someone asks you what’s the coolest gift you ever got.  Their answer…an oversized bear and a box of chocolates….

Broomfield REPRESENT!

September 7th, 2007 - 9:08am by MilesOther posts by

Holy Cow!  Broomfield really IS Broncos Country.  We had another Flag Stop in Broomfield on Wednesday night and WOW!  It was easily the most attended stop so far.  Most guesses put attendance at about 3,000.  We had the usual cheerleaders, Super Bowl trophies, Billy Thompson, and of course, yours truly.


Me trying to get some love from some skeptical young fans

Fan Fairiffic!

I know Andrew Mason already covered Fan Fair, but he didn’t spend most of the time taking pictures with fans and playing mascot football.  Fan Fair is quite the event.  It’s rare throughout the league that EVERY player and EVERY coach is available to the fans for at least a little bit over the course of two days.  Over those two days we had about 14,000 fans in the building.  Some of the lines were long, but I think most people were pleased.  A lot of people that come every year may notice the lines getting longer, but there’s nothing that can be done about that.  There are a limited number of players and coaches, and the attendance keeps going up.  Basically we are a victim of our own popularity.  Not a bad spot to be in though.  Anyways, lets get down to the nitty gritty.  Or as my grandma says the knitty gritty.

Saturday I spent most of the day signing autographs.  The first time I attempted to make about a 1/4 lap around the concourse.  I had an hour to do it (I’m a mascot, not Hidalgo-I need a break).  After about 45 mins,  I had gone approximately 20 yards.  As soon and people saw me, it was on.  Pictures, signing shirts, balls, trading cards, magazines, programs-I even signed a forehead.  I tell you, I love Broncos fans because they are so passionate, but at one point I got a little spooked.  I was surrounded on all sides with shirts, balls, programs jammed in my face.  I did my best to sign everything I could, but the reality is, there is no way I could ever sign everything.  Which means there are people that were waiting for my autograph that didn’t get it.  This really bothers me.  I REALLY try to make sure everyone is happy, and knowing that I wasn’t able to get to everyone gets to me.  So if you didn’t get an autograph, I apologize.  Heck, send me a letter and I’ll send you an autograph.

OK, parents.  This is where you get to chime in with some real world advice for us mascots.

A friend of mine was at an appearance, and was signing t-shirts, when a kid comes up with a short sleeve polo shirt on.  This friend of mine decided he didn’t want to ruin the shirt (the t-shirts the others were wearing were from a camp, so it’s a safe bet that no one will have a problem with a signature on those) but he also didn’t want the kid walking away empty-handed.  So in a split-second decision, he signed the kid’s forehead.
