Gone but Not Forgotten

November 12th, 2007 - 12:02pm by MilesOther posts by

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.

Take Up Your Arms!

October 11th, 2007 - 10:30am by MilesOther posts by

So Monday we picked up our deflated egos and hauled them to Rifle.  Here, the Broncos faithful restored them with hearty handshakes, gleaming smiles and enthusiasm for the team that lost 41-3 the day before. 

I really was not very excited to make the trip after what happened on Sunday.  I figured the few people that did show up would just want to talk about how horribly the team played.  You know what?  About 600 people showed up and I’m not lying when I tell you that not one, NOT ONE person mentioned the game.  They were just happy to get to see everyone and cheered us on for the next game. 

Man, I wish we could play the next game in Rifle, because I’m a little dissappointed how quickly people throw in the towel.  I understand being frustrated, believe me I know, but when I looked up to an empty crowd before the beginning of the fourth quarter last week … I was speechless (pun intended).  How do such rabid fans that describe themselves as die-hards just pack up and leave?

Another Cheyenne Road Trip?

August 27th, 2007 - 5:17pm by MilesOther posts by

Yes…kind of. This time it was to Cheyenne Wells, CO, which is just down the road (I-70) a little bit (about 3 hours east). Over the next couple of weeks we are heading to the four corners of Broncos Country to officially “plant the flag.” We’ve selected a few places that really embody and represent Broncos Country and are celebrating with the citizens. We bring with us the Super Bowl Trophies, Alumni, Cheerleaders, and of course…ME!

We leave them with their own Broncos Country flag that they will fly proudly on game day. We also have the people sign a flag that we bring back with us and display here at the stadium. Our first stop was a great one! Cheyenne Wells has about 1,200 people in it, and I swear that most of them came out to greet us. They even let the schools out of their first day to come show their Broncos pride. We met a ton of great people including the Mayor of Cheyenne Wells, Monte Baker.
