We know we're going to play them in Pittsburgh this season, just not that first week.
I don't run the triathlons anymore like I used to. I do leg work on the machines and do the bike. I'm not as strong as I used to be, but I'm still good.
I have short-term memory loss. I know that some of the memories of the Super Bowl championships are fading.
Although his playing career with the Broncos took place before my time with the team, I am well aware of what Floyd Little means to this franchise, city and league. Aside from his stellar play on the field, he helped make the Broncos relevant in the NFL and strengthened the bond between this team and its fans. He has waited a long time for this honor, and I couldn't be happier for him.
I said publicly last year that I wanted 2012 to be a great season, not just a good season. We certainly had a very good season and perhaps exceeded a few expectations. But Broncos fans, you and I know what a great season looks like.
To go out and win this game would be a great step in the right direction for this whole organization.
We're playing on the road, in Kansas City, on a Thursday. Playing Pittsburgh on the opening Thursday would be a great game, but we don't need two of them.
We're not just going to jump out there because somebody says we should.
We are meeting with the entire National Football League membership tomorrow . . . to ratify our television rights package. I am sure you are aware we expect no problems with the ratification,
We haven't had the success we had hoped to achieve. Josh McDaniels is the head coach of the Broncos and you always strive for stability at that position. However, with five games left in the 2010 season, we will continue to monitor the progress of the team and evaluate what's in the best interest of this franchise.
These are historic moments for us as an organization. And, of course, winning them both would just add to the history.
The job Paul has done in his years as commissioner is unprecedented.
