By small and simple means are great things brought to pass, both with our beloved Denver Broncos and in life generally.

For starters, I am not only a Broncoholic, but the favorite uncle for infant nieces and nephews to play with. When my sister hands me her daughter, Paisley, I can tell she is tired and exhausted so I take Paisley down to the mancave to watch sports.

Paisley is a special girl, as both she and Mile High Report were born on August 24, while incidentally, this is also Mike Shanahan's birthday.

While we were watching the Milwaukee Bucks-San Antonio Spurs game on my laptop, I tossed her in the air and said GO BRONCOS.

Paisley responded by repeating Bronco Bronco over and over again, as he is a prodigious and smart girl.

I then opened up an archived photo of our illustrious mascot Thunder and she cutely smiled, waved and pointed at Thunder, repeating with increased exuberance BRONCO BRONCO.

I, of course, smiled, realizing that already she has the foundations of Broncoholicism instilled within her and within a couple of years, she will be seeing the Broncos reach great heights with Tebow at the helm, just as I grew up with Elway.

Yet another generation of Bronco fandom is installed and our illustrious legacy will continue to percolate both on the field and in terms of obtaining new fans.

Now let's beat the Patriots and keep this great story going!
