Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

This was on Jim Saccomano's Sideline Stories TV show about a month ago...What former Denver Bronco had the trainer cut the tail off the horse decal on his helmet as a superstition?
I believe I know this one, but I am going to leave it for someone else. We have had a few very good Broncos wear
that # throughout the years, although he was the first. It has been very good to us.
Random fact of the day
To what many refer to as Denver's "Golden Years" -- the 1990s. Seven seasons at (or above) .500. Four division titles, five playoff appearances and one AFC Championship game loss to go along with what became QB John Elway's crowning achievement: back-to-back Super Bowl wins.

This month in Broncos history
November 22, 1959 - The AFL’s first player selection draft is held, lasting 32 rounds. Denver’s first pick is Roger LeClerc of Trinity College in Connecticut. He does not play for the Broncos until 1967, as he opts to join the NFL’s Chicago Bears, who made him a 15th-round selection in the 1959 draft.
November 24, 1963 - AFL postpones all games two days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
November 11, 1979 - Rick Upchurch becomes the all-time pro football record holder in career punt return yardage. He set the record vs. New England, surpassing the late Emlen Tunnell’s total of 2,209 yards.
November 26, 1989 - The Broncos clinch their third AFC West title in four seasons after a 41-14 victory at home against Seattle.
November 18, 2014 - With a host of Broncos from his years with the team joining him, Champ Bailey announces his retirement after 15 NFL seasons.

Today’s trivia
The Broncos’ record for most consecutive wins against NFC clubs happened when?
The Broncos’ record for most consecutive wins against NFC clubs happened when?
Since you said consecutive, I’d have to guess 1997-1998?
Starting with St. Louis early in the 97 season, no wait they lost to San Fran that year.
Ok from the super bowl against the Green Bay packers and through the 98 season when Elway and Davis ravaged the eagles, redskins, refskins, Cowboys up until the Giants ended to the perfect season record that December?

In 1964, this future established actor had signed a free agent contract with the Broncos, but because he could not run the 40 yard dash due to a hamstring, was released on the second day of training camp. He went on to the play in the CFL and UFL.
