Since there has been a lot of posts recently dealing with the past (best RB's WR's etc) and there is noting going on in the News what are some of your favorite Broncos Memories. I'm sure this thread has been done before but its fun.
1. For me I remember going to my first game with my Dad when I was 7 or 8, we played the Cowboys. I don't know who won, but do remember asking my Dad where Johnny was and then yelling go Go Elway. My Dad has since told me all I did for the most part was cheer for Elway regardless of if we were on offense or defense or in a commercial break. The upper deck at Mile High was steep and remember my Dad helping me up the stairs.
2. Going to school the day of the Broncos Super Bowl parade to find almost no one there. And my Dad taking my Brother and I out of 2nd period to go to the parade. Seeing the Broncos on fire trucks, watching a lot of the ceremony from the Capital's viewing deck, learning later more people showed up for that then the Pope on World Youth Day.
3. We were raising money for my little league team to go to the little league championships in Vegas at Broncos games. We would get there way early and try to collect donations. At one point John Elway arrived for the game and was flocked with fans walking into the stadium. He was like a giant to me at that age. And since I haven't seen him since then he still is to me. This one ranks because for any kid to get to shake the hand of someone who has a mythical greatness to them is amazing. I've been in the oval office with the President, but was more mystified by Elway.
4. The same year after trying to raise money getting tickets in the South Stands to a Faders game, and someone yelling **** the Raiders!! And their wife (I guess) telling him to behave because their are kids in front of him. At which point my dad turned around and said, "don't worry about it, **** the ****ing Raiders"
5. Seeing TD get to 2,000 yards in one season from the South Stands.
6. My parents won a dinner with Mark Schlereth at a silent auction, taking the Varsity offensive line via limo to a dinner with the big stink. Hell of a nice guy.
