Broncos to Honor Colorado Olympians

September 4th, 2012 - 5:17pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

A dozen Colorado athletes who competed in the London 2012 Olympic Games will be honored as Broncos Country Heroes during the first quarter of Denver’s season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday (6:30 p.m. MDT kickoff).

As part of the celebration, Centennial resident and Regis Jesuit High School student Missy Franklin will serve as an honorary captain and accompany the rest of the Broncos’ captains to midfield for the pregame coin toss. Franklin captured four gold medals and one bronze in her Olympic swimming debut last month.

Franklin, who visited a Broncos practice at Dove Valley earlier this year, earned gold medals in the 100m backstroke, 200m backstroke, 4×200m freestyle and 4×100m medley — in addition to a bronze in the 4×100m freestyle.

Other 2012 Olympic medalists include Taylor Ritzel (gold, rowing), granddaughter of former Broncos Head Coach Red Miller; Clarissa Chun (bronze, wrestling); and Janay DeLoach (bronze, long jump).

Below is a look at the 12 Colorado Olympians who will be honored by the Broncos on Sunday:

Broncos Caution Fans on Secondary Market Tickets

September 4th, 2012 - 3:08pm by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

With the start of the regular season less than a week away, the Denver Broncos are urging fans to be wary of counterfeit tickets that can make their way through secondary markets and take appropriate measures to ensure the authenticity of their purchases.

Only tickets acquired from team-associated outlets, including the Sports Authority Field at Mile High ticket office and Ticketmaster/Ticket Exchange, can be fully validated by the club and the NFL.

“There are a lot of risks associated with buying tickets through websites and vendors not certified by the NFL,” Broncos Senior Vice President of Business Development Mac Freeman said. “We want fans to be aware of these risks while remaining 100 percent assured that tickets purchased through the ticket office, Ticketmaster or NFL Ticket Exchange are authentic.”

The Broncos open the 2012 regular season with a primetime game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Sports Authority Filed at Mile High on Sunday (6:30 p.m. MDT kickoff).

It’s All a Blessing

September 16th, 2011 - 3:38pm by Rahim MooreOther posts by

Monday Night Football. You know what? Running out of that tunnel, I really told myself — it really felt like I accomplished something in my life. I was proud of myself because first of all, I trusted in God. I obeyed my parents and respected all my elders, and I worked so hard. I worked so hard to get here. So hard. Words can’t even explain it. So I was just thankful to be able to share that with some of my favorite players of all time. I’m sorry we didn’t come out with the win, but despite that, it was a blessing.

Seeing Brian Dawkins do what he does, it was great. My mom and uncle were surprised of how hard the dude can still hit. But you know what, you wouldn’t even know how old he is watching him play. He’s a great man. I love that dude. I couldn’t ask for anything better. Playing with him is like playing with Rod Woodson, Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott or Steve Atwater — he’s in that group. If I want to be the best one day, I’ve got to learn from the best. And I get to do that here.

KOA Tuesday with Kyle Orton

September 13th, 2011 - 4:04pm by Max HensonOther posts by

Earlier today, Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton spent some time talking with the Broncos’ flagship radio station — 850 KOA — about last night’s 23-20 loss to the Oakland Raiders.

In the locker room after the game, Orton expressed his disappointment with the final result and that feeling remained for he and his teammates this morning.

“Everybody was disappointed. We are disappointed today,” Orton said. “We are part of half the league that didn’t win their opener and have a lot of work to do to win their second game.

Fox Reflects on Monday’s Game

September 13th, 2011 - 3:10pm by Kenny LeganOther posts by

The Broncos have improved, but there’s still a little ways to go.

That was the overall takeaway from Broncos Head Coach John Fox, just hours after Denver lost a close game to the Oakland Raiders 23-20 in the season opener Monday night.

Fox talked with reporters on a conference call at noon Tuesday and said that the staff is already preparing for Cincinnati on Sunday, given that this is a short week. However, he had a chance to watch some film on last night’s game.

“We’re learning about our team, what we can do well and what we can’t do well,” Fox said. “There’s a need for improvement like all opening games — I’ve been a part of many of them. It’s your first step out of the blocks, and I don’t think I’ve been with one that it’s gone perfectly. Obviously we have some things to work on, and we will do that as we move forward.”

KICKOFF: Matt Prater’s kick goes for a touchback and the Raiders will start at their own 20.

Q3 12:31 After a first down pass to Jacoby Ford, two short runs bring up third-and-nine for Oakland. Jason Campbell’s pass is incomplete over the middle for Brandon Myers and Shane Lechler is in to punt to Eric Decker. Decker fields the punt from his own 10 and returns it 90 yards down the right sideline for the score. Decker leaps into the crowd after giving the crowd a mile-high salute. And Prater’s PAT is up and good.

Raiders Preparing for ‘Totally Different Defense’

September 7th, 2011 - 3:52pm by Max HensonOther posts by

The Broncos’ Monday night opener against the Raiders may be a highly anticipated meeting between two long-standing rivals, but on a conference call Wednesday, Oakland Head Coach Hue Jackson and his quarterback Jason Campbell had nothing but complimentary things to say about their opposition in Denver, particularly on defense.

Jackson was asked if he’d watched the Broncos pass-rushing duo of Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller and he was quick to provide an animated response.
