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?"

I can't help it, my first reaction to hearing they'd fly into Newark Liberty was "OMG, how can they send a SB team to THAT dump?!" I know (too well) it's a hub for Continental, and maybe a few others, but: Think of all you've ever heard about NJ being dingy and rundown and you've got a pretty good idea of EWR. Denver International is infinitely nicer, and not just for a smoking section on the right side of security (Dulles is the only other place I've been with that, but in a tiny hermetically sealed chamber like Newark Liberty in miniature, not at a bar and grill like Denver.)

Glad the Broncos got the star treatment they deserve once exiting the highway. Sorry about the Norwegian flight attendants; I promise I'm doing my best to spread the word (waiting to board a flight a few years ago I even had a nice chat with a Dane in a Broncos sweatshirt and we laughed at the Chiefs.)
