I am watching a sea of orange. Maybe a million people have gathered under a bright Colorado sun with nothing but blue sky overhead.
The parade of Broncos has culminated at Civic Center park, where the members of the Denver Broncos football team are gathered on stage. "We are the champions" was sung, then the national anthem. I have plenty of time to write this now because I have turned off the volume as the mayor and governor tell us how wonderful they are.
Peyton Manning congratulates beloved defensive coach Wade Phillips as they come out on the stage.
Hundreds of thousands of fans lined the streets of downtown Denver. People were in high spirits of celebration. Children were allowed up in the front of the lines, as people were kind to each other.
John Elway is being interviewed by former NFL great Dave Logan, who is the radio voice of the Broncos on KOA radio. Either one of those guys could be elected governor in a breeze. Now the microphone has been passed to Coach Kubiak. Now I will turn the volume back on as MVP Von Miller is interviewed by Logan. Von is asked by Logan about DeMarcus Ware. Miller said, "He's the man!"
Now Ware and Manning, the defensive and offensive captains get the mike. Ware saluted the fans, and saluted the team effort. Manning, the offensive captain, also saluted the fans and the fact that guys worked hard all year.
Now the mike has been passed back to the politicians, so I will turn the volume back off and end this blog post.
