texas toast.
I was born and raise in denver.
Raised by a single mom who worked 3 jobs, so the drumsticj was her ally in helping to feed her kids !
She dated a great guy who took me to my first hockey game DU my first basketball game, the Hrlem globetrotters and to my very first football game, the first scrimmage of the new professional football team the Denver Broncos!
I remember when they came on to the field, their unis were so ugly I told my dad, ( yes, eventually this "date" became my dad, ) that I wanted to cheer for the other team.
I was only 5 so he explained to me about loyalty.
the broncos were worse than their uniforms, I often say I learned about football and saecasm on the same day.
a day in august 1960.
I love sports, almost everything but rodeo and racecars, but football is without question #1 for this born and raised denver native.
I moved away from denver and my dad took me to the first suns game ever played and I learned to appreciate baseball watching the hometown D-backs meteoric rise to win the world series.
I have returned to denver to work on seperate occasions, every year I did, the broncos made ot to the superbowl. My last tour of duty in Denver was 98
it was destiny !
I watched my broncos in alaska and australia, in upstate NY and dallas texas. I admire those of you who chose the broncos, not by birthright or geography, but for whatever reason, they appealed to you and you developed your own loyalty.
its great to hear from bronco fans all across the world !canada, new zealand, germany and england
even a kid from louisianna who had his choice of teams this year, chose our own denver broncos !
CAN WE PLEASE JUST SKIP ALL THE NONESENSE AND JUST TALK FOOTBALL?
