Spoiler!

Broncos CEO and owner Greg Penner has made it clear again that he's going to do anything necessary to get Denver back to being considered one of the dominant franchises in the NFL.

Last week, the Broncos organization didn't feel the field conditions for Empower Field at Mile High were up to their standards. In light of the weather and the number of events the stadium has hosted, Empower Field, which is a grass playing surface -- not an artificial turf -- was showing signs of wear and tear.

Penner made the decision to have the entire field replaced ahead of Denver's final game of the regular season: Sunday vs. the AFC West rival Chargers.

"To their credit, Greg and our ownership were willing to make the significant investment of a new field for our final game of the season," Broncos president Damani Leech told me Friday. "After our last home game and following a perfect storm of significant activity combined with inclement weather, the field was simply not up to our standards. Our turf crew and stadium management had a window to install it, we took advantage of it and they got it done."

The decision to replace the grass -- at a cost of $400,000, per Penner -- is notable. After all, it's just for one game -- the field will end up being replaced again before the start of the 2023 season -- for a team that's 4-12. It's a telling example of how this group plans to run the organization moving forward.

"We appreciate Broncos ownership replacing our field -- even for just one game -- to give the players a better and safer surface than the previous two games," Broncos kicker and union rep Brandon McManus told me Friday. "It means a lot that Greg and the owners took action after the field didn't play or look up to the standard."

Rolling out the green carpet for the Sharters. How sweet! Any word on uniform color combinations yet?

Keep telling you they can spend all the money in the world, but they're still going to finish in last place for the foreseeable future. Because they have no clue as to what they're doing.

The bigger question is how many no shows will there be? Because the fans certainly aren't spending the money to see that shit team.

As Carol once said "look at the pretty grass"

[notorious]

Plenty of fertilizer was already applied through means of the football shitting themselves.

Due to his extension, Russell Wilson was paid $57 million by the Denver Broncos this season.

I love it when rich people set tons of money on fire

The Broncos new owners are showing their peers how it's done; a new $400,000 field is being installed for one game and one game only, because the last one was deemed to be too torn up. https://t.co/8WPChXt6Vc

Comments from CEO Greg Penner and G.M. George Paton at the press conference after the firing of coach Nathaniel Hackett also made it clear that the Broncos will spend the time and money needed to get to the root cause of a rash of injuries. Too many organizations chalk injuries up to bad luck, without fully exploring every nook and cranny of the operation.

The Broncos will devote all resources necessary to fixing the injury issue. Starting with spending $400,000 to ensure that the players will have the safest possible playing surface for one game.

It’s a powerful message by the new kids on the NFL’s block regarding the right way to run a team.

Don’t mind us Knowmo, we’re just locking up the number 1 seed today.

What are you guys playing for tomorrow?

Better hope you get it. We all know this Chiefs team isn’t good enough to take the long road in the AFC.

What’s your AFC West power ranking for the 2023-2024 season as of today?

[Pasta Little Brioni]

To make things even more embarrassing for Russ and the Broncos....Geno is about to break the single season passing yardage record for the Seahawks team record...uh oh

Swept Chargers
Beat Jags
Destroyed Bucs
Destroyed 49ers

1 play away against Buffalo and Cincy

Pretty good against playoff teams
