Nope, I didn’t win the lottery.  Luckily, this year’s Broncos are just that bad.  Opportunity 🙂

Day after marathoning in the Arizona desert, woke to Colorado sunshine.  Picked up Ro [from kennel jail], shared a lazy 2-mile stroll ‘round Waneka.  2 miles: long enough to work out the kinks, but day-after-marathoning…long enough.

Local Broncos game at 2pm in Denver.  Just last year upper-deck/nose-bleed seats retailed for $475.  12 games into a losing 3-9 season, today (vs the lowly Jets) $100 buys you Section 129.  FAAAANNNTASTIC!

NEVER been to a NFL game.  Tickets to Coors Field every summer since 2012 (Rockies baseball).  FREE tickets during my NYC past – hockey, basketball, baseball (Rangers, Knicks, Yankees & Mets) but NEVER EVER football.

‘Mile High’ Stadium – Land of Elway, Manning, Von Miller.  Sea of ORANGE.  In Colorado, EVERYONE’s a Broncos fan.

Constant buzz inside the stadium.  Every defensive hold, FANS stomp in anticipation – literally, the entire stadium shakes.  And when the HOME TEAM SCORES, FLAMES shoot high above the scoreboard.  Enough heat to feel it in your seat.  Whatta experience, WOW!

When I DO win the lottery, season tickets every year.

The Denver Broncos snapped their eight-game losing streak by defeating the New York Jets 23-0.

It’s been a nightmare season for the Denver Broncos, but after two straight months of embarrassing losses, they finally showed up in grand fashion and put an end to their eight-game losing streak. The boys in orange and blue finally got back in the win column after defeating the New York Jets at home by a score of 23-0. Today’s performance left many wondering, “Where the Hell has this type of Broncos football been the past eight weeks?”

 

One of the biggest reasons the Broncos were able to secure a victory on the gridiron was the top-flight play of their defense. It has been a season of ups-and-downs for the unit, who at times have looked like a shell of their former Super Bowl clinching selves, but they were outstanding this afternoon. Their efforts limited the Jets to only 98 total yards of offense, zero points and their dominance helped force two turnovers. Keep in mind that this is the same Jets team that nearly put up 500 yards of total offense against the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

 

In the words of John Fox, “Not too shabby.”

 

Broncos 23, Jets 0
