Bruton Plays Santa

December 25th, 2011 - 2:36pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

David Bruton is no stranger to helping out in the community.

He’s volunteered at Boys and Girls Clubs, participated in Shop with a Bronco events and supported his teammates with their foundations.

But this Christmas, he wanted to do something a little different.

He adopted a family through the Denver Rescue Mission Christmas Wish list, an annual program the rescue mission facilitates for families in need.

So he took a shopping list with him and got to work. Well, it was less work and more fun.

“I love shopping for kids, so I even put on a Captain America mask, I had the shield and I was shopping with that for a little bit, just having a good old time,” Bruton said.

Notebook: Unfazed by Potential Conditions

December 20th, 2011 - 4:29pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

NO COLD FEET
Broncos players aren’t concerned with the potential for cold weather on Saturday in Buffalo. While the forecast is calling for 38 degrees and partly cloudy skies during the Christmas Eve tilt, should that change, Denver will be prepared.

“I’ve heard about the weather, but I’m used to the cold weather,” middle linebacker Joe Mays said. “I played out in North Dakota (in college), so I’m looking forward to it. We just have to go out there and play ball.”

Another player with cold-weather experience is wide receiver Eric Decker, who played collegiately at the University of Minnesota.

Bakke: Tebow’s First Start

December 22nd, 2010 - 1:49pm by Kyle SonnemanOther posts by

Team photographer Eric Lars Bakke has been working with the Broncos for 26 years. His photography blog will serve as a unique look from the perspective of an NFL photographer, periodically updating the site with tales from the sidelines, some of his favorite photos and the stories behind them. In this edition, Eric shares some Holiday cheer and provides some of his images from Tim Tebow’s first start.

For all you Bronco-land boys and girls naughty and nice- I bring you holiday cheer… hoping we’ll see you in the stands for the rest of the year.

And with Santa’s wink and a nod, here are some stocking stuffers all wrapped in red and green.

Wishing you all the best for this holiday season and memories to glean.

Merry Christmas

December 25th, 2008 - 4:30pm by Ryan TorainOther posts by

Merry Christmas, everybody.

I’ve been having a pretty great holiday. Christmas Eve was great. I opened my presents at 12:00 last night, because my mom had mailed some out. She was in Texas for Christmas, so we had some presents last night. At least I waited until it was officially Christmas, so I can’t get in trouble with the family for opening early. I opened a few more this morning, too, though. We had a big dinner last night, too. Ate a couple of things — turkey, ham, everything.

As far as the rest of the day is going to go, I’m just kind of going to bounce around, see a couple friends. I’ve got a couple dinner invites, so I’ll just relax and just go with the flow.

I’m looking forward to watching the matchup with the Chargers this weekend. It’s going to be a great game, you know what I’m saying, because getting a win means we’re in. And you know because we got the win earlier in the year they’re going to come with a chip on their shoulder. It’s a do-or-die big game right here for us to go to the playoffs. Everybody’s just got to make big plays and have fun doing it.

For those of you that are going to want a predicition, I can’t call it. We’ve just got to be ready to play.

Someone asked last week if I’m going to keep writing the blog next season. The answer is sadly no — this was my rookie blog, and I’m sure I’ll pass the torch onto another first-year guy next season. I think we’ll wrap things up with the blog next week, kind of close out my first regular season in the NFL. So I’ll talk to you all next week, but let me say in advance that I really appreciate all of you that stuck with me through the whole season and read the blog.

See you next week.

Christmas with the Broncos

December 25th, 2008 - 2:19pm by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

The Broncos had to come into work on Christmas day, but Head Coach Mike Shanahan cut the team a little break. Practice was moved up an hour to end at noon, and the players didn’t have meetings afterward.

So what were the players going to do with the extra time on Christmas afternoon?

“My wife and I, we’re going to open up some presents that we got each other, and we’re going to decorate cookies — kind of start our own traditions for when we start a family,” Brett Kern said. “Then her sister and brother-in-law are driving from Ohio, went non-stop all through the night, so they’re coming in tonight and we’re going to have a little Christmas ham dinner. I’m looking forward to it.”

Cory Boyd said he wasn’t leaving the facilities right away, but he’s certainly ready to kick his feet up a little later in the day.

“To be honest with you, I’m about to go in there and watch some film of the day’s practice, then I’ll probably get on the bike a little bit and run,” he said. “Then I’ll go home, be with the fiance and just relax today. Then get back to work.”

Kenny Peterson said his family is too far away to fly into town, so he’ll hang out with some of his friends on the team. He also had the right idea — find the house with food.

“I’ll probably go to Ebenezer’s house or somebody who cooked.”

Happy Holidays

December 25th, 2007 - 6:11am by domonique_foxworthOther posts by

Happy Holidays to everyone.

I wish everybody a happy and fun and safe holiday season. I will keep it short since it is the holiday season and I don’t want to take up everybody’s time.

Hopefully you’ll be able to spend it with your family making good holiday memories. I have a lot of great holiday memories myself. I remember being a kid trying to sneak down to open the presents before Christmas and always getting caught. Those were the good old days. Christmas doesn’t quite have the same excitement as it did back then but it’s still a lot of fun. I still enjoy the season.

Frustrated Bronco

December 18th, 2007 - 10:43pm by domonique_foxworthOther posts by

Oh, the many frustrations of this season as a Denver Bronco.

We had another loss, another frustrating loss, against a team we feel like we could beat. That seems to be the story of the season. We come off a great game and then play poorly.

We have been extremely inconsistent. It’s frustrating missing the playoffs this year. It’s one of the many drawbacks of our inconsistency and the constant change that we’ve had especially as a defense. One of the most unfortunate things about having a season like this is the casualties we have around here as far as players are concerned. It’s just the way the business is if your team isn’t producing. Generally, someone has to pay the price. Sometimes coaches get cut, sometimes players get cut. Fan support thins. So there’s a lot of prices being paid around here right now.
