My reference to it was concerning this post.

Magnificent Seven I am not worrying about Broncos organization. Bowlen has great people behind him. Elway is his right-hand man. I am sure Bowlen will get healthy soon.

.

If he does indeed have it, he is not gonna get healthy soon.

If he is experiencing memory loss without having some sort of brain trauma, he is not going to get healthy. That kind of thing deteriorates. Sad to watch and read about. That is why ask the drunk comments piss me off.

The Pat Bowlen I have known would not have made the moves that were made the last couple of years.....what happened to the Broncos was a Joe Ellis creation.

Sooooo glad John is there.

I think it is time for the team to disclose Pats health issues, if they truly want a policy of open communication with fans, this is the test.

We are all vulnerable.

We aren't entitled to the health information of Mr. Bowlen - we might feel invested as fans, but you're talking about someone's medical information, which is a pretty private thing.

Ellis and Elway are in place, so whether Bowlen's health is good or less good, I think the Broncos have taken enough steps to ensure that day-to-day operations will keep running. We don't need Bowlen's medical data.

I hope he doesnt have Alzheimers but there are some signs. He has a very flat affect to his face lately. Even when he was smiling with fox and elway, his facial expression looked incongruous to the old pat bowlen.
Gods speed to Pat Bowlen.
I think the latest stat had that 50% of all people will end up with Alzheimers if they live past something like 75. It could be one of the degenerative diseases that could bankrupt the country. Along with arthritis and Diabetes. I dont think they have identified a clear cause for alzheimers. At one time they were saying alzheimers brains had more aluminum.One of the latest theories I have heard postulated is that alzheimers is linked to high copper levels from municipal water supplies and the copper pipes. The only way to get the copper out is through reverse osmosis water filters on your sink. It has been advised that vitamin companies are starting to take copper out of multi vitimin pills. So there is a big concern for too much copper right now.

Stem cell is the way.......
