Interlude (Cue Girl From Ipanema Muzak)

I was sitting down with Denivar Broncovsky's epic tale The 2009 Denver Broncos when the phone rang. Begrudgingly, I put down my favorite book to answer it.
"Hello! This is an automated message from the Oregon Lottery. You can win $5,000 dollars if you just enter the secret 4 digit number of the day!"
So I typed in: 4-2-4-5-8-4-3-2-7-6-6-2-6-7 (H-A-I-L-T-H-E-B-R-O-N-C-O-S)
I hung up and went to the kitchen to get me some eats and decided on 13 bon-bons and 3 cups of Kool-Aid.
13-3 baby.
As I enjoyed my afternoon snack there was a knock on my door. I answered only to find some very pleasant young people handing out literature courtesy of the Jehovah Witnesses.
"Hello, are you familiar with our readings?"
"Hail the Broncos."
"I'm sorry?"
"Hail the Broncos."
"Um, yes. Well, we'd like you to have this publication to learn a little bit more about our Lord and Saviour."
"13-3, baby."
"Um. Well. Yes. Of course."
"Hail the Broncos."
As they trundled off down the road the bloody phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"Hello dear, its your mother. I wanted to know what you think my grandson would like for his birthday."
"He wants to watch the Broncos with his dad."
"Well, I'm sure that you would like that very much, but isn't there some kind of toy or book he might like?"
"He wants to watch the Broncos with his dad."
"Okay, I can see you are not going to give me a straight answer...
"He wants to watch the Broncos with his dad."
"Don't interrupt. Look, I'm just going to call back when I think your lovely wife will answer." Then she hung up.
I called her back.
"He wants to watch the Broncos with his dad."
I decided it was time to call Z100 and request some music. The girl who answered the phone was very pretty. You know this to be true. Any stranger on the phone looks exactly how you want them to, and she was darned pretty. Like, you know, super darned pretty.
"Hi! Thanks for calling the Z100 request line. Whaddya wanna hear?"
"The Broncos are 6-0."
"Come again?"
"The Broncos are 6-0."
"Did you have a request or something?"
"I would love it very much if you would mention to your listeners that the Broncos are 6-0."
"Um. Okay. See this is a music request line. I think you are trying to call some sports station or something."
"Is this Z100?"
"Yes it is!"
"The Broncos are 6-0."
Click. Her click, not mine. I was happy to continue with our modest flirting. She had other ideas. Or perhaps a job to get back to.
Sated with food and some great chats with people about The Broncos, I decided to head back to the sofa and enjoy some more of The 2009 Denver Broncos by our pal Denivar Broncovsky. I turned to my bookmark and realized that I had finished Part 1 (an epic, joyous love affair) and had nothing but a coupla blank pages to flip through before begining Part 2: Chapter 1 The Raven.
I thought to myself, "You know what? The Denver Broncos are just about as much fun as any grown fella should be allowed to have. Well, aside from the occasional making of the love. And I suppose watching your children succeed. Nah. Just the making of the love. Oh, and rockin' out the ol' guitar."

That is so cool. LMAO!
I can just picture the DJ’s voice in my head as you kept saying, “The Broncos are 6-0.”

Because Montana has no professional sports, I gotta support the land of my birth.

Love this post...
Sated with food and some great chats with people about The Broncos…
…classic. Yeah, some of my conversations about football have perhaps been a little one-sided lately. Thank God for MHR….

Me too
when talking about other teams, I always find a way to compare them to the Broncos, not a bad thing when you are 6-0, but I’m sure my friends get tired of it

man
Where do you go to watch the broncos games in Portland? I haven’t found a good bar for that here yet.
tunes
I've heard the 45th St. Pub and Grill in SW is a Bronco bar.
Also, the Sky Box in Sellwood has some Orange and Blue folk. I just go to Claudia’s cause its next to me home — haters be damned.

A Local station, 92.7 in Guymon, OK
Has a line you call in and say:
This is Igor B Strange and I am the boss.
I called it and said
This is Igor B Strange, the Broncos are 6-0, they are the bosses.
Wonder if THAT will get on the air :).

You have captured the whole essence of that light headed giddy feeling of being a Bronco fan. Thanks for making a cheery day even brighter.

This was plain awesome. I had to read it three times and will again. Pure joy!

Fantastic!!!
All you get from drafting the "best player available" is a team full of good football players.
Cotton McKnight: I'm being told that Average Joe's does not have enough players and will be forfeiting the championship match.
Pepper Brooks: It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.
One of the best posts I have ever read....
AWESOME!

Awesome!
I hope you don’t mind that I am going to email this to all my friends.
Hail the Broncos!
Who filled my beer mug with Kool-Aid?
The Denver Broncos are just about as much fun as any grown fella should be allowed to have. Well, aside from the occasional making of the love. And I suppose watching your children succeed. Nah. Just the making of the love. Oh, and rockin’ out the ol’ guitar.
Just when I thought that I could laugh no more…
Seriously excellent post, bro! You made my morning!
Rec’d for making me spew coffee all over my monitor.

You all are too kind.
May have to be my last post. Sounds like I might have set the bar a bit high for myself.
We should teach Moreno the Mississippi Mud Walk.

Another PDXer faithful
Been reading MHR for a while, never commented, but felt compelled to after reading your posts. Denver-native here as well and always on the look-out for more Orange-and-blue bleeders. I have a buddy who is also from Denver and we haven’t yet found that perfect bar. Last season I stopped in at On Deck, and there were a few faithful there, but not a ton.
We watched the Cinn. game at The Agency. Decent place, but sterile. Again, we were the only Bronco fans there, seemingly.
Seems like the Baltimore game might be worth enough of a mass gathering?

We might have to take over Claudia's.
Maybe we’ll all stop trying to find our joint and just make our joint.

You're nominated for the kingdom scribe
Seriously funny and painfully hilarious. W T G PT! Hail The Broncos!

puddletown, I read this at 3 AM when I couldn't sleep.
Tried to keep from laughing out loud and waking the whole house. Read it again and went back to bed and slept like a sloth. This morning my wife says " Did you know you were laughing in your sleep last night?" I told her it sure beats passing gas.

You had me at the Girl from Ipanema reference.
Classy, stinging wit. I love this. Thanks for bringing some humor to match the MHR collective IQ of 42,458,532,766,267. I know that’s off the IQ scale, but that’s how we roll. HAIL THE BRONCOS!

Its good to be winning
This site has a really nice feel to it lately, this post really captures that. Somehow, I found myself over on Hog Heaven reading about the Redskins woes. There is a lot of bile and animosity firing back and forth between commenters there. Ownership is universally reviled, of course, but lots of petty agruments about whether the problem is the quarterback or the O line. All I can say is, its good to be a Broncos fan!
