Mile High Report, a Denver Broncos community

1. John Elway, Broncos 1983. The first pick in the draft, Elway wanted nothing to do with playing for the Baltimore Colts and forced them to deal him to the Broncos. Some rank him as the best quarterback of all-time. He certainly was one of the greatest clutch performers in NFL history. His 148-82-1 record as a starter is one of the best ever. Here is the bonus part of the Elway acquisition: he’s still paying dividends for the team at the age of 52 as he is quickly becoming one of the most respected executives in the game.

If you're considering purchasing Madden 13 when it is released on August 28th, you should also think about preordering through Walmart. In fact, if you're a Broncos fan who plays madden and DON'T purchase through Walmart, you're going to be angry that you didn't. The new version of Madden allows players to assume the persona of various legendary players as they go from rookie to Hall of Famer in a game mode called "Connected Careers". It's similar to previous versions of Madden's Superstar mode. However, featured in this game are Denver Broncos Hall of Fame tandem of Shannon Sharpe and John Elway. Unfortunately, John Elway is only available for those who preorder their copy of Madden through Walmart. So, if you want to replicate Elway's career with your own virtual football skills, you must purchase your copy through Walmart. The link to Walmart's preorder page is found here. Enjoy the new Madden... if you're into that sort of thing.
