I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Very sad. Knew it was coming. Actually glad they announced it so they don't have to hide anymore.

Mr. Bowlen has been a blessing to Colorado. Very few owners care about winning as much as he did...always made the effort every year. Unlike the owners of the Rockies, he didn't worry about "culture", he worried about winning while having a team we could be proud of.

Thanks Mr. Bowlen!!! Hopefully Ellis is the right guy and He and Elway can continue the tradition!

Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!

Bowlen has made the Denver Broncos the best sports organization in the region. Thanks Pat for caring more about winning than the bottom line, and having the smarts to make the right choices in personnel and spending.

He's left a hell of a legacy and will be missed.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
