So, you want to know where I was all season?  Why I didn’t check in, why I didn’t Blog…not once?  Well, the answer is, I was making videos for all of you.  EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!   Prove it you say?  Proof is here!  Well HERE!  All of the video skits that I’ve done for the past 3 seasons are there.  They are best if you watch them in High Quality.  You can do that by clicking on the link in the lower right corner just under the video screen. 

 So, check ‘em out, spread the word, and I’ll be adding stuff like my mascot football games and other gems later.

 Peace!

Gone but Not Forgotten

So it might seem that after that Green Bay game that I have gone into hiding.  Not the case.  Actually I’ve been pretty busy with appearances.  Last weekend I went up to the Minnesota Vikings game to do their mascot halftime game.  So I was there to witness two NFL records.  Adrian Peterson rushing for 296 yards and Antonio Cromartie returning a field goal for 109 yards.  Now our game wasn’t that exciting.  I played outside linebacker on defense and racked up two tackles for losses and was in on a couple others.  On offense I played center, and am happy to report no botched exchanges.  The kids won (it seems like they always do) but as always, it was fun.

An Emotional Game, but a Tough Loss

October 24th, 2007 - 5:02pm by MilesOther posts by Miles

We fought hard, and gave our all, but in the end it wasn’t enough.  The kids from the Boys and Girls Club were a worthy opponent, and we were up to the challenge.  I believe if we had more time, we would be victorious. 

It was nice to hear people cheer for Dinger.  I don’t think Dinger gets enough love.  The whole state LOVES Rocky, and for good reason, and I don’t think I’ve ever been in another venue and not get love from the fans, but Dinger usually is greeted with crickets, or even sometimes some boos.  But Sunday when he was announced, the stands exploded.  Finally!  Of course all of us here are wishing the Rockies and Dinger good luck. 

Now, the game.  I don’t think people realize how slippery these little kids can be.  Twice I had the ball carrier all but wrapped up and just like that, he’s gone.  I don’t know if they grease ‘em down or what, but there is a clear advantage to being small.  They can change direction so quick and are hard to grab onto.  But on our end, there’s an advantage to being big.  First of all, it takes about half a dozen of them to bring us down.  Second, they are short and easy to hurdle.

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.
