Broncos morning practice

The Broncos held a morning session at 8:45 a.m. at Dover Valley. It wasn't too hot til the last part of practice. I was in the press room transmitting my stuff while the team continued practice but I heard Orton had a good day. There was a good size crowd for the morning practice, and if you were one of the lucky fans to be seated in the southwest corner after practice, you might have gotten an autograph from Tim Tebow. he signed autographs for about ten minutes after practice. The fans just rushed to the ropes where he was at. I think he only moved about 8ft til the horn blew and he had to go in for meetings. I still don't get why kids and grown ups don't say please or thank you to the players. Elway never signed for anyone who didn't say please, and if they didn't say thank you, he would let them know. Oh well, at home for a bit then heading back out to the afternoon practice at 5:30 which is closed to the public. Here are some photos fro today.

Broncos afternoon practice

Seemed like it took forever for practice to end. Practice started 15 min late but we still get the same amount of shooting time even if it started on time. We get two shooting periods on the clock. Don't know how man minutes that is cause too busy trying to get photos for all the stories the reporters think they are doing. Little punch at the writers. practice ended just a bit before or just after 5 p.m. tonight. Seemed like 8. One practice today, but have a full day tomorrow with two, one morning and one afternoon. Tebow ran to the fans today again like Sunday to give high fives, didn't sign, just high fives. So if you go, try to hang out as long as you can, maybe he'll do it again on Tuesday.

Home at Last!!

Well after an agonizing three plane trips through two cities fro Vancouver, I made it home last night stepping in the door about 11pm. Although it was a rough day of travel, it was great to see DIA in the distance as we approached.

Looking back once again at the games, my last assignment shooting the men's hockey Gold game, i realized how much that game was probably the best event I ever covered. From Stanley Cup, Super Bowls and even the World Series, they don't compare. The game had more electricity than 100 watt light bulb. When USA tied the game with 24.4 seconds left, it felt like someone let all the air out of a balloon and the arena went silent. Not a word but a few chants from USA fans in the upper deck. I also realized how much Hockey means to the Canadians, more so then we do here in the States. I've never seen anyone more passionate about their sport than the Canadians. No band wagon fans here. A sea of red jerseys as far as can see. Pretty cool I thought. The USA gave it a good run, but just came up short, nothing to be ashamed of it was a great game. The best and the best game I've ever witnessed.
