Adopt an ex-Bronco

[In-com-plete]

I'm sure we'll have an Adopt a Bronco for the '08 season. But I was thinking we could have an Adopt an ex-Bronco for the offseason.

The player has to be out of the NFL and retired. And each player can only be taken once. So scan the following list to make sure the player you want isn't already taken.

John Keyworth

[MOtorboat]

Eddy Mac taken...

[DallasChief]

Dale Carter taken...

[BOSSHOGG30]

If I adopt Terrell Davis do I get to adopt Howard Griffith with him... they worked well together, I would hate to break them up.

[MOtorboat]

Neil Smith and his Championship ring taken...

Consider it done DC.

[topscribe]

I got Rich Jackson.

[MOtorboat]

I'm sure we'll have an Adopt a Bronco for the '08 season. But I was thinking we could have an Adopt an ex-Bronco for the offseason. We could do anyone that's not currently wearing a Broncos uniform. Or anyone that's not currently playing in the NFL?

Anyone interested?

In-com-plete...tell me you're adopted former Bronco isn't Todd Sauerbrun...

[Ricky]

I want to adopt Rich Karlis

[GEM]

Meck is mine! :D

[Requiem / The Dagda]

Clinton Portis, the best running back ever.

Edit, wait.

How about Shannon Sharpe?

[G_Money]

Tom Jackson.

~G

Isn't anyone gonna take Elway?

[mclark]

I'll take Elway (and offer a trade for Terrell Davis).

[topscribe]

Dale Carter taken...

What? No Eddie Quitterson? :D

[turftoad]

OK then, I'll take Romo.

[Italianmobstr7]

Shannon Sharpe!

[tubby]

Shane Dronett

[Az Snake]

Since top got MY Rich Jackson,

I'll adopt Floyd Little !




.

[Day1BroncoFan]

I'll take Haven Moses, that is if no one has yet.

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff211/Lundbergm/Tensi.jpg

It wouldn't have bothered me to take him. He was once potentially a very
good quarterback who was unmercifully pummeled until he was so shell-
shocked he couldn't play anymore, because of the Broncos' pathetically
inept O-line of the time.

But he was a good guy, and, oh, what an arm!

-----

[BroncoWave]

Since on one has taken him, I will take Hall of Famer Gary Zimmerman! :salute:

[pnbronco]

Well since Gem has Karl I'll take Hall of Fame should be Randy Gradishar # 53.

[Fan in Exile]

I'll take mark schlereth since we both came from Alaska.

[Broncospsycho77]

I want Dan Neil, for the time being.

[joshxhannah]

I'll take Rod Smith, as soon as he retires :)

[D1g1tal j1m]

Dennis Smith

Height: 6-3 Weight: 200 lbs.
Born: February 3, 1959 in Santa Monica, CA
College: USC

6-time Pro Bowler & 4-time All-Pro

Drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 1st round (15th overall) of the 1981 Draft

-------------------------

Another HOF snub. He was a fearless leader on D and was on par with Ronnie Lott.

[Skinny]

Simon Fletcher ...

[Italianmobstr7]

I'll take Clinton Portis.

[sneakers]

#33 Rooooooooooooon Daaaaaaaayne!!!! as they say here in Wisconsin.

[BroncoBJ]

I'll Take Eddie Kennison Please :salute:

Hmmm . . . I was waiting for KCLady to discover this thread. Quitterson may
be the only shot she has at adopting a player here.

Yea I had to steal her from him...

errr I mean steal him from her. :salute:

[PatricktheDookie]

Patrick Jeffers!

That's right! A little love for the forgotten guys!

[mclark]

Shane Dronett

Very good. Anybody for Steve Tensi?

[mclark]

I change my pick from John Keyworth to Otis Armstrong

Most exciting runner in Denver Bronco history.

[Snapping Turtle]

I will take Matt Lepsis :D

[BroncoBJ]

Clinton Portis, the best running back ever.

Edit, wait.

How about Shannon Sharpe?

Hell yea :salute:

CP was the man. He's still my favorite player in the league.
Its funny how he leaves Denver and all of a sudden most the fans hate him.

[RiversSucks]

Can't some of you guys read??

it says The player has to be out of the NFL and retired.

[East Coast Fan]

Give me the "other" # 7 Craig Morton. This guy brought the '77 team together and did a lot for Denver. He played with pain/injuries numerous times. :salute:

By the way, I have Moses.

But, but,...dang, Top - we gave up TWO number one picks for Tensi! We'd Tar and Feather Shanny if he ever made a move remotely like that!

I'd also like to see some respect for Charley Johnson and Bill Van Heusen - the pro bowl punter with the career 20+ YPC average as a WR!

[UnderArmour]

Hixon. The only member of the 2007 Denver Broncos who got a ring this year.

[Hobe]

I'll take Norris Weese, may he rest in peace. When ever I am asked about my all time favorite Broncos plays one of the first I always think of the fake field goal, touchdown pass to ol’ High-Tops Jim Turner.

:salute:

Hixon. The only member of the 2007 Denver Broncos with a Super Bowl Ring.

Nalen, Elam, and Rod Smith might argue that one.

Sorry I'm illeterate.
Please excuse me :salute:

Is Jake Plummer taken?
I cant read but if he isn't taken than I will take him. :salute:

I think he was taken a while back but you may want to go back and check it out.

1977. Great play, great game! The Asshat Ken Stabler threw 7 picks that day. The local blowhard newspaper "expert" for the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle had predicted a Raider blowout, because he said Denver was a bunch of fakes that was about to run out of luck.

I rarely got to watch Bronco games back then, as we were in a Bills market, so that made it all the better.

[BroncoLee]

I'll take Tyrone Braxton if no one has claimed him.

[Timmy!]

He's got the right last name, so I'll take Neil Smith.


(take that DC) :D

[SmilinAssasSin27]

Al Wilson...if he is not eligible, I am claiming him for when he is.

If I can't have him now, that leaves on my short list...Maa Tanuvasa, Darren Drozdov, Sammy Winder, Rulon Jones, The 3 Amigos, Clarence Kay and John Mobley.

I REALLY wanna take Droz, but gimme Sammy Winder.

[Davii]

Davii wants Steve Atwater !






.

Yes... Yes I do. Since he was claimed in the name of Davii before being claimed does that count?

[In-com-plete]

Yes... Yes I do. Since he was claimed in the name of Davii before being claimed does that count?

Sorry man. Denver Native (Carol) has him.

[Watchthemiddle]

NOt sure if this counts, but this post beat Native's....:D

[Traveler]

Simon Fletcher

[Davii]

NOt sure if this counts, but this post beat Native's....:D

The man has my back...

[Slick]

Rulon Jones
Louie Wright
Barney Chavous
Riley Odoms


It's so tough to pick one, I'll take Rulon.

[Stand Ablaze]

Can I get John Mobley?

[In-com-plete]

The man has my back...

What do you want me to do? I understand AZs posted that you wanted Atwater. But it's one of those things I can't just give him to you without your post.

Sorry man.

[atwater27]

I want Michael Brooks since you ******** already took Dennis Smith and Simon Fletcher.

[BigDaddyBronco]

Howard Griffith.

[Skinny]

Hmmm . . . I was waiting for KCLady to discover this thread. Quitterson may
be the only shot she has at adopting a player here.

-----There's always Dan Williams ...

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Sorry man.

Davii can have Steve Atwater, and I will take Steve Foley. It's the LEAST I can do for someone serving our country - :salute::salute: to you Davii

[Thnikkaman]

I want Kubes, but since he is a coach I guess I can't have him.

So if that is the case, give me Ray Crockett

[Davii]

Davii can have Steve Atwater, and I will take Steve Foley. It's the LEAST I can do for someone serving our country - :salute::salute: to you Davii

See, that's why this wonderful lady is a mod. Thanks DN, i'll get you back somhow!

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Davii - you are doing MORE than enough for me - and for everyone - by serving our country. OK - do one thing for me - STAY SAFE :salute:

#38 reggie rivers

[Benetto]

Anyone take John Elway yet?

If not...:rolleyes:...I want Kubiak.

[Benetto]

Clinton Portis or Shannon will do if Kubes isn't allowed or Nikka got him.

[Superchop 7]

I'll take Louis Wright. (anyday, for that matter):elefant:

[Traveler]

Since Simon Fletcher isn't available, I'll go with Jumpy Geathers

[pnbronco]

Since Simon Fletcher isn't available, I'll go with Jumpy Geathers

Traveler, I love Jumpy, he is a great guy. I remember the first time I met him and got his autograph, it was up in Greeley at camp he said "you are a really nice Mom to do this". I told him thanks but the truth is I'm the Bronco nut in my family, he laughed and we would talk every time I saw him. I was so sad for him when I got hurt at the end of camp the year they won the Super Bowl I ran up to Greeley to give him a hug and he knew he was done with football. So great pick and great guy.

[Thnikkaman]

Clinton Portis or Shannon will do if Kubes isn't allowed or Nikka got him.

Portis is still playing, isn't he?

[shank]

#56/51 keith burns if possible.

does he count for 'out of the nfl' in that he doesn't play anymore?

[Traveler]

No one has taken Bobby Anderson or Rob Lytle yet? Maybe that's too far back to remember.:D

[Benetto]

Portis is still playing, isn't he?


I was going by Ex-bronco...

[In-com-plete]

I was going by Ex-bronco...

It's ex-Bronco who's out of the league or retired.

[Benetto]

It's ex-Bronco who's out of the league or retired.
I see...Shannon Sharpe.

[In-com-plete]

I see...Shannon Sharpe.

And then we get into the "Each player can only be taken once". Sharpe has already been taken by Dream. To see the list of taken ex-Broncos (who are retired or out of the league), you can refer to the very first post in this thread.

[Medford Bronco]

How about Darrien Gordon for Med :salute:

I think he once had 2 punt returns for a Td in the same game. :confused:

[shank]

I see...Shannon Sharpe.

dream already has him. there's a list on page one.

[shank]

How about Darrien Gordon for Med :salute:

I think he once had 2 punt returns for a Td in the same game. :confused:

i was {-} this close to taking darrien gordon as he was one of my favorites in 97 and 98. lol, i didn't take him because i couldn't remember for sure if he was number 23 as i seem to remember.

good choice med!

i also thought about jeremiah castille... although like darrien, he was only a bronco for two (albeit good, significant) years.

[mclark]

I wanna play! Give me Willie Brown. :elefant: :elefant: :elefant:

Ok now that he's adopted into the Spawn household, do I have to change him and burp him?

Anyone take Curly Culp yet?

[Medford Bronco]

Anyone take Curly Culp yet?

lol about about Jeremaia (sp) Castilla
I know Ernest Byner would not take him :laugh:

or how about Scott Brunner, 3rd string QB from 1983?

[shank]

[dogfish]

[Traveler]

A great guy he was! I'll forever remember his forklift move. He was incredibly stong.

[CoachChaz]

Give me Osron Mobley

[East Coast Fan]

can i get merlin olsen?







no. . . . ?

No but his brother Phil is still up for grabs!:D

That was just before I moved to the "no man's land" between da' bears and the cheese heads in northern Illinois. I was in Colorado Springs then. A year later I would have missed it. Glad you got to see it and remember it.
