Lead writer at Mile High Report from 2006 to 2011

"Because while there are others who should be nominated, he should be first," writes CompUser. Adds AlbertaBronc: "Not only did Bena create MHR, he wasMHR during its golden years. Sure we've had authors who understood the technicalities and the statistics of the game better but very few out there have as much passion and love for the Broncos as he does and the fact that he could ramble on for hours at a time about the Broncos on a podcast and not be the least bit boring shows it."

Lead writer at Mile High Report from 2011 to 2012

"More later? Horn!!" pens Rodney Adams. Says Worthington: "As great as Kirk was on the pages of MHR, when I was briefly an author, Kirk was as influential behind the scenes. He kept things going and was helpful to other writers. Always dedicated to the Broncos. Very much deserved honor."

"While Kirk and John are obvious nominations and I would vote for both men instantly, I can't let this process go by without nominating the amazing Jeremy. While he's still around making great comments, there was a fabled time when he'd grace us with his commentary and intellect on a regular basis." - Topher Doll

"His original MHR University work was outstanding," writes SteveUK. Adds orange&blue_aussie: "HoosierTeacher came along at a time when we as Bronco fans were searching for better content, and to understand the game of football better. John Bena was the passion, but MHR University made you feel like you were becoming a member of a club of some kind. Hoosier Teacher deserves a lot of recs."
