Re-Kindling the Mile High Magic

As a boy growing up in Idaho I became a Denver Broncos fan.  Since that time we have had a great owner, coaches, quarterbacks, and teams.  We now have an amazing stadium, and have won two Superbowls.  And as a longtime fan, winning those two Superbowls was so much fun.  And Yet...and yet, I would trade those Superbowls back for something that was even so much more fun. 

You see even as a kid I could feel the Mile High Magic and it really was magic.  In those years when the team would go on the road they could hardly win, but when they played at Mile High they could hardly lose.  Yes Virginia, there really was magic in Mile High.  And I don't think I've seen anything in sports quite like the Mile High Magic before or since.  When the team was down and the players were discouraged, the fans would rise up and put the team on their back and carry them to a win.  Just nothing else like it.

I think most of the Magic was that the fans weren't worried about how strong an arm the QB had, they weren't worried if the team would make it to the Superbowl, they didn't care about how many all pros were on the team, they were in the moment cheering for their underdog team and willing them to win just that game on that day.  They loved the team and the team loved the Denver fans back by doing everything they could to win that game on that day. And more often than not it worked.

And so I know now more than I knew as a kid why I became a Broncos fan.  It wasn't because of the owner, the coaches, or even the players.  I became a fan of the Broncos because of the Broncos fans and the Mile High Magic they made.

And I want it back.  I want it all back.  Not just for myself, but for boys growing up on farms in Idaho and in cities like Denver.  And it's beginning here at the Mile High Report.  Here we care not for a journalist world turned upside down where political journalists do nothing but gossip and where sports journalist think they are reporting watergate daily!  Football is fun and journalists ought to report it that way, but since they don't the fans here do!

Here at MHR the Migh High Magic is being rekindled.  Let the word spread from MHR that Mile High Magic Fans don't boo their own team.  Booing is for cynics, cowards, journalists, and losers.  Let the word spread from MHR that we don't boo former players or coaches.  We cheer in apprecation because we're honored that they once played for us.

But when our team comes on the field...then the Magic begins!  When our team comes on the field everyone else may think our team is the underdog but we know that we the fans can will them to be better than the other team.  We know that because they've practiced hard and prepared their best we can will them to be even better than they thought they were!

Here at MHR it's back the Mile High Magic is back!!!

Spread the word!!!

13-3 baby and Superbowl bound or bust!!!
