Before they got to their first Super Bowl, the Broncos were one of the NFL's jokes. Nobody outside of Denver cared about them. What got them on the map was getting to the playoffs and Super Bowl for the first time in '76-'77, and the country's fascination with the insanity that was kicked off in Denver. They rode thir defense to more playoff appearances, and then (honestly) sort of lucked into getting one of the best QB prospects in history with Elway in '83. Elway was their first marketable name, and he completely changed the fortune of the organization, and the city of Denver as an NFL market. This is a team that, in spite of being one of the NFL's marquee franchises for four decades, didn't get their first player in the Hall of Fame until well into the 21st century (and is still ridiculously underrepresented there). Teams that win get attention. It doesn't matter where they play. It doesn't matter what color their uniforms are.

Nonetheless, I bolded the only part of your statement that anyone cares about. Outside of KC, there's nobody in the NFL community that says, "Man, those Broncos teams were great. It's too bad they violated salary cap rules for no competitive advantage to help fund a new stadium in Denver."

How could you resist? That’s about the time a 13 year old from Arkansas became a devout follower. Prior to that, the poor kid floated between PIT and MIA... never looked back.

Nowadays the Broncos have boring, orange-bluish jerseys, a dull quarterback named Case, a pretty sub-par roster, and an anemic offense. It was painful watching that final drive against the Raiders, I almost felt pity for Oakland for having lost |

Well, they went 5-11 last year...
When people say you're slow, I will show them this post. You totally get it! Winning = lots of attention. Losing = not lots of attention. Bright orange jerseys and the altitude of your stadium = no measurable difference. NWO gets it!

Do I even want to risk opening the Pandora's Box by asking what global warming has to do with altitude?

Keenum not practicing. They say it's a precaution
https://mobile.twitter.com/MikeKlis/...68626652000256 Sad news for whoever had Ravens defense in fantasy. The interceptions may not be coming this time |

Donkoland is in for at least 4 years of darkness. No HGH-riddled Manningcorpse coming to save Horseface this time.. KC has, probably, the most bad-ass looking QB prospect I've ever seen...and that's not because he's on the Chiefs. My advice to save Horseface from the glue factory...offer Indy 4 first round picks for Luck. You'll never win this division with average QB play... Last edited by BlackOp; 09-19-2018 at 11:48 PM.. |
