If Denver's altitude always afforded the Broncos at least a .500 football team, they wouldn't have sucked in the 60's and 70's. It's not like we were are sea level during that time.

And much of the effect has been proven to be psychological. Real altitude sickness doesn't really show until you go above 8000 feet. When it does affect you here, it will account for a 10% loss of efficiency in periods of ongoing cardio, like distance running or soccer. But in the stop and go world of the NFL, it's not as bad as people tell themselves. And with heavy hydration and the fact that all teams have O2 masks now, it can all be mitigated. But we sure don't mind reminding them. They've proven this with blood levels and actual science, not the comments of some fat Chief fan who can't walk up the stairs. And the more in shape a person is, the less they are affected. Hint: Professional athletes count in this category.

You seem nice
