Lance Ball Lends Helping Hand
On Thanksgiving, running back Lance Ball gave back to the community with a visit to the Denver Inner City Parish.
Ball joined 50 volunteers who helped prepare a meal for 1,000 low-income and homeless families throughout the Denver area. The dinner where Ball helped out has been serving Thanksgiving dinner for 52 years.
Cheerleaders: Reaching Out
Hello Broncos Fans! I hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving. The holiday weekend was surely wrapped up with another thrilling Broncos victory!
It’s been a few months since my rookie report and I can’t begin to tell you all how fun and exciting this season has been so far. Not only has it been filled with incredible games, but I have also been fortunate to be a part of many events throughout the community. This past weekend in particular, I was able to help out at a local restaurant in the Highlands area with some of my fellow teammates.
Cheerleaders: Giving Thanks
Hey Broncos Country!
It’s my favorite time of the year – a time to sit back and realize how lucky we all are to live in one of the best cities with the best fans!
Today I want to take the time to look back upon some of the experiences I have thus far as a rookie DBC. I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful organization and to be fortunate to interact with amazing people in this community. To recount a few:
Expecting a Competitive Game
How was everybody’s Thanksgiving?
Mine was fantastic. I ate at my house -– one of my friends, she cooks, so we just relaxed at home. I didn’t get a chance to see my family because they were in California, so I was there in spirit and they were here with me in spirit.
Overall, I’m thankful for a lot of things. I’m thankful that I can be able to play this beautiful game that God blessed me to play, be able to be a part of this team. It’s especially fun to be part of the team since we’re playing so well.
Family, Friends and Thanksgiving
With the Thanksgiving holiday Thursday, the Denver Broncos still had practice as they gear up for Sunday’s game against San Diego. However, they were given most of the afternoon off to enjoy the day with family and friends.
Linebacker Von Miller said his younger brother — who is finishing up his last year of culinary school — is in town from Dallas. With his brother’s cooking skills, Miller said he is leaving the feast up to him.
“He’s going to cook a little something for me,” Miller said. “I’m (also) going to be with (linebacker Wesley) Woodyard. I’m going to go wherever he goes.”

Time to Give Thanks
Last year at this time, the Broncos were preparing to play the Giants in a primetime Thanksgiving night clash.
This season, Head Coach Josh McDaniels had the opportunity to give his players and coaches the most conventional holiday possible by NFL standards.
McDaniels moved up Thursday morning’s practice to ensure the players had the afternoon off to spend with their families. The coaches worked late on Tuesday night to get ahead on gameplanning normally reserved for Thursday, so they’ll have a little extra time away from the Dove Valley training facility, too.

Gobble, Gobble
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
I am getting pretty excited, I can’t lie. My mom flew in today and she’s at the store right now. It’s going to be a little different this time around, we usually eat pretty early, but since she just flew in we’re going to have a little bit later of a meal.
Either way, my mouth’s watering thinking about it. We’re going to have everything. Turkey, ham, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, greens — just the whole nine. It’s definitely going to be a good meal.
The late start is making me hungry, but it’s all good. The turkey’s thawed, so we’re going to get that going soon.
Just to update all of you, rehab’s going well. I’m just kind of getting a little rhythm with the basic, whatever you want to call it. The basic rehab routine I guess you could say. It’s just basic treatment — leg lifts, icing, just not that much going on, but just enough to keep my leg strong and help me get healthy.
I guess I’d have to say I’m thankful for a lot of things today.
First and foremost, just being able to celebrate with my family. Living another year, another Thanksgiving — I’m thankful for where I am today.
Happy Holidays and enjoy the food.
Off Early for the HolidayThe Broncos held an early 10:20 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. practice at Dove Valley so players could get home to spend Thanksgiving with family, and by all accounts, everyone was in high spirits, laughing and joking around in the locker room before heading their separate ways.
But we were able to chat with a couple players before they headed out, so here are some quick hits from the day’s events.
DINNER WITH IRVIN
A few days before Thanksgiving, Brandon Marshall had dinner with a Hall of Famer — former Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin.
“It was right after the Oakland game,” Marshall said. “I sat down with Michael Irvin after the game for dinner, and he put a lot of things into perspective for me.”
When you’re an up and coming young wide receiver in the NFL, seeking out a knowledgeable veteran who has been there and done that can only help.
“I think we all know what type of guy he is and the things he has been through,” Marshall said. “All I did was shut my mouth and listen a lot. He told me to surround myself with good people, to do the right things and continue to do what I am doing. I feel good with the direction I am heading as a person and I am thankful. It is Thanksgiving and I have a lot to be thankful for including the season, the organization, the NFL giving me another chance and the fans giving me another chance.”
