Kiszla: Super Bowl season for Broncos a tribute to Pat Bowlen

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Amid the orange madness, as the Broncos celebrated their 26-16 dismantling of New England, the man who made all this crazy happiness possible stood quiet as a ghost, alone in the crowd.

Pat Bowlen is 69 years old. To be honest, he looks older. Time and gravity eventually slows a football mogul's stride. But his heart still beats with a passion for winning. Nobody in the Broncos organization hears the clock ticking more urgently than the franchise owner of 30 years, a reign that spans the glorious history from John Elway to Peyton Manning.

"This one's Super," Bowlen said after Denver secured the trophy as the AFC's best team. "We're going to New York."

Love Bowlen! He's been a really great owner for us. Thank heavens we don't have to deal with the likes of Jerry Jones or Bud whatever his name was. :D

He has been. The old man blew it colossally with McDouche, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes. And he made the right moves getting back.

Bowlen did make a big mistake with McDummy. But lucky for us, Bowlen realized his mistake ans took care of it. Thats what makes a good owner!

I give Bowlen tons of credit for bringing in Elway. It is Elway himself that has made many genius moves.
