The ND Powerball is about $300 million tonight...just for fun, I bought a ticket...

What would you do with that much money if you won? (I can't even begin to imagine...)

You got that right (GREAT avatar BTW :thumbs: )

Me? well....let's just say OF1 would have another couple OManer's aboard on a weekly basis.

I would own a Broncos Sportsbar in downtown Denver. I would have a cybercafe with Orangemane as the homepage. The top floor of the bar would be a private nightclub for Denver Broncos football players so that they never ever tripped over dogs or fell face down in someone's driveway. There would be a limo and body guards insuring safe passage to and from wherever day or night.

I would buy a suite on the 40 yard line just for OrangeMane. There would a wireless Internet connection available in the suite as a point to point connection to Orange Force One for a simulcast posting from Inside and Outside of New Mile High.

I would buy a faboulous ranch from Meck77 just because I could.

I would take Alec shooting more guns than he has ever seen. We'd shoot guns only accessed by the ATF or special forces just because we could. We might pull out grenades, Mark 19, 203, or something that really goes boom.

I would take Spider, Rascal, and any other cowboy who had the stones on chuck wagon ride from Denver to Canada and back on horseback through the Rabbit Ears. It would be a real trai ldrive like you've never seen.

Every year I would host a Broncos party in Las Vegas where a live band would be there, food, drink and rooms are provided.

I would get a surprise guest spot on a radio talk show with Slap, Popps, T.J. Watermock and just sit back watching the ratings peg.

I'd set up a girl's night out for the ladies of the Orangemane. I'll let them decide if they want to tell you where they went or what they did.

I would see every football stadium in the country and sell the video exclusively on the Orangemane about the experience. I would make sure to wear a bright Orange Broncos jersey everywhere I went just to see how really bad things could go. Of course bringing my own security team would be fun too.

My girlfriend knows the manager of the cheerleaders for the Broncos. (She used to be a Denver Broncos cheerleader) I would have a private party for the Orangemaners where they get a chance to hang out with the Cheerleaders for real. It would be hilarious to see that party.

I would create a charity for fans who've been deprived and never seen New Mile High. All the poor posters overseas and outside of Colorado. What about their needs! I would have to have a pint with Fontaine and discusse the details. Of course I would have to fly down to Mexico! I would have to have a cold one with Baja Fan. We could fly back and catch the game.

After I have totally wasted most of the money I might actually invest some of it. Whew. That was fun.

I've got 6 ticks for the Wed drawing. I would 1st give at least 10% to charity. Give some to the family. Then buy a really nice place in Colorado with a beautiful view of the Rockies, preferably on a lake. Have the house painted orange and blue with the Bronco emblem on each side and a hugh one on the roof that lights up at night :) . Tell some season ticket holder in Denver to name their price and be at every Bronco game of the season. Practically live on OF1 and partay every tailgate (Beer and food on me). Also probably buy in at the 2006 WSOP and give it a shot. Buy a pool table.......oh, and get me one of those cool foam Bronco horse heads :) Still can't find the things out here.

Well I think a few gifts for the great folk at the Mane would be in order.

Just a few off the top of my head:

TJ - An idiocy filter that could filter out some of the stupid posts that occasionally are posted.

Meck - A driver for OF1 so he could party hearty too.

Spyder - A truck laod of urinals with the Chiefs and Raiders logo that he could have installed at his favorite truckstops.

Kaylore - A job replacing Williamson at the Post

SoCal - His public interest practice defending female porn stars and a couple of USC season tickets

Faderproof - a tour of a few college stadiums that are more fun on gameday than OSU

R8derH8ter - A billboard outside Network Assoc. stadium where he could post his weekly thoughts about the raiders.

Sassy, Blueflame and Blue Damsel - those tank tops you wanted last week.

Bob - a 2006 Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos Tshirt

Atlas and Bronco Blue - your avatars

Quietiger - a promotion with a big pension after a safe trip home

Mock - a bottle of good whiskey and some gormet cat food.

Pez - pay him to give me photography lessons

Tredici - a book deal to write a book teaching women how to watch football

Many more deserving recipients, but the number one thing I would do for the Mane is move Falconer, Samuel and their family to Denver, assuming they want to, and make sure Samuel gets the best care available. That boy has the greatest smile around.

When I win the $300 million, I will retire my career and do OM full time. :)

Sideburn
10-18-2005, 12:47 PM
Well, instead of spending all my time on OF1, I'd build my own...with hookers, and blackjack. We'd also have an actual OrangeForce of 3 jets. I'd buy up the naming rights to Invesco and name the stadium "Sideburn field at Mile High". I'd also give Bowlen 25 mil for 250 season tickets for life and dish them out appropriately to members here. The section of the stadium would be the OM section and starbucks would be banned. If any of the lucky 250 want starbucks, you can walk your happy asses through the concourse to it...it won't be in the OM section. I'm sure I could come up with more, but this is good for now.

Falconer would be so thankful. Thanks for considering him.

I have a list so long, you might as well name me Earl.

If you haven't seen "My Name is Earl", you won't get that joke...

Anyway, I have a couple of bills I could retire (things that I'm financing). I could pay off my mortgage. I need a new car. I could help out my family and closest friends. There are several charities that need help. The list goes on and on.

I really need to think about it if it DOES happen... hmmm...

What I'd do...

Pay off school.
Pay off wherever my sister wants to go to school.
Pay off whatever my parents have outstanding.
Buy my parents a house in Greece
Couple cars, and then proceed to put in every useless gadget I can in them. Huge rims, TVs in the headrests, etc.
Nice house in the Denver area... Or maybe not a house, but one of those expensive apartments in the downtown area, like the place Carmelo lived in, if anybody saw him on "Cribs"
Nuggets season tickets, courtside
Broncos season tickets, as good as I can possibly get
And then some various jerseys, shoes, watches, etc. Expensive clothes, basically.

Since I'm a senior now, I'd probably just take a year off before heading to Grad school, just so I could **** around. A dream of mine is to see in person every Bronco game 1 year, so I'd probably travel around and do that. Although the only way I'm going to an Oakland game is if I can get into a luxury box and not have to deal with the idiots.

I'd also see a Nuggets game @ Madison Square Garden... I'd really like to see a basketball game there.

Wow alot of great ideas on this thread.

I hope one of you guys win. Or is the jackpot deal over?

$300,000,000 huh?

I'd drop atleast 1/2 of it into the Cancer foundation I'm working on starting with Bucky Dilts on behalf of my buddy Jason who is fighting cancer and Bucky's ex wife who is doing the same.

I'd spend about a couple dozen million on spreading some good will around the middle east and do what I could to get our troops back home.

I'd retire OF1 to the local tailgate bus and build a couple a more. We need an East coast bus, mid-west, OF1 would handle Denver, and we could probably use a west coast version for the Oakland area.

An orange jet would be in order.

Am I out of money yet?

-I'd retire TJ for all his hard work on the Mane.
-Beezlebub would sleep on a mound of catnip and eat fresh fish daily
-I'd buy back ever darn seat that was available at Mile High to whoever would sell them and redistribute them to Broncos fans that would really appreciate them.

Then I'd go buy a few pounds of the best ribeyes around and a 12 pack of Pabst Blue and kick it in spot #31 Lot CR-v and listen to some Bob Marley tunes. One love.......
