JERSEY CITY, N.J. — After barreling down the highway from Newark Liberty International Airport with a police escort, the most difficult stretch for the Broncos' buses to navigate was the final 100 yards to their Super Bowl hotel.
Fans had greeted them starting at their downtown exit ramp; a group was there waving large orange towels. The downtown streets of Jersey City were lined with well-wishers, including one guy with a sound system shouting into his microphone, "Here come the Denver Broncos!"
Finally, after inching through the mob that awaited the Broncos in front of their hotel, the buses stopped and Denver football operations boss John Elway walked out of one.
He was immediately approached by a handsome young man wearing a blue overcoat who somehow managed to fight his way through fans, media, security and state troopers.
"Mr. Elway," the man said. "Would you sign this for me?"
rest - plus some other things
