Hi all Bronco fans.
Have been reading the boards for 2 years but just joined. Yes, it is because of Tebow and I am a Gator. However, I have been following Broncos and learned a lot about the teams and their passionate fans.
My husband's group is on the board and is a sponsor for the Davey O'Brien awards and we have been going for the last 3 years. This year, me being a big fan of RG3, got a VIP pass to meet him and take pictures with him. He is super nice, witty and very very smart. About 1000 people show up to the black tie event and everyone was very happy and excited for RG3, unlike last year when Cam newton won. He had attitude and it did not go over very well with the people. His coach didn't even show up. Actually his dad and none of the Auburn people showed up. I am one of few women who come, because I am a football freak. So many football greats come every year. Jim Mcmahon, Troy Aikman, etc.
We sat at the sponsor's table, which means we get to sit right in front of the winner and with one of the past winners of Davey O'Brien awards. This year, it was Colt McCoy and his wife Rachel. She is beautiful and tall. 6'tall. They are too nice. He is so sweet. Almost too sweet to play football. My husband is a Neurosurgeon along with his partners. There were 3 Neurosurgeons and a neurologist and naturally, along with Colt, the conversation turned to Peyton Manning's recovery. One surgeon said, he is one hit away from a wheelchair and with everything he has done in his career why would he risk it? One partner said, as long as he is okay, he can play but his arm will never quite be the same. My husband said if it was our son, he would not let him play. Too much risk. I do have to say my husband along with his partners do not know all the details or specifics of his surgeries but based on what they have read these were their thoughts.
I know there are a lot of conversations about wanting Manning in Denver, but I think it's too risky. Let Tebow Play for a year and if he doesn't pan out move on.
By the way, I was not there when Tebow won in 2009. I was sick. I am sick just thinking about not being there. I have been following him since his Freshmen year in Florida. I also want to mention that the people were just mesmerized by Tebow when he won. Apparently he had a long standing ovation. He won over the whole crowd as my husband's partner teases me. He knows I am a big Tebow fan. Usually the past winner come after few years and he promised me if Tebow comes he would make sure Tim will sit at our table.
I know how it goes here. Pics or it didn't happen. so here it is.
Go Broncos!!
