Go Broncos
I seldom blog about sports. I don’t know why, but I find sports talk boring as hell. Sports interviews are the worst. They always ask the lamest questions, and get the lamest answers. Mostly pointless waste of time if you ask me.
I’m not a huge sports fan, but I am a huge football fan. Mostly NFL, I don’t have the time to watch college football too. There are a lot of things that I hate about the NFL, but I grew up watching it. I actually still remember watching games when I was eight years old. That was the year most of my memories start at. Watching the excitement of a rookie by the name of John Elway made me a fan of the Denver Broncos. He wasn’t, great as a rookie, but he in was exciting to watch. I became a fan for life.
That year was 1983, the Raiders won the Super Bowl. I have only missed one Super Bowl since. When I became a Broncos fan, they only had one Super Bowl appearance, back in 1977 when I was 2. Since I became a fan in 1983 they have mostly been a pretty decent team. I’ve watched them play in six Super Bowls. The two wins were amazing. Not much is better than your team winning it all. The four loses were horrible though. I would almost rather they didn’t even make it than suffer a Super Bowl loss. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t such a big fan. Every game is so nerve wrecking, especially this season.
It’s been a fun two weeks knowing my team is back in the big game again. This will be my 7th time seeing them play in the Super Bowl. It will be on the 7th of February, which happens to be my birthday. John Elway also wore the number 7. The numbers add up to good things, but I’m scared because it’s Super Bowl 50, and the roman numeral for 50 is a big L. I hope that’s not what the Broncos are going to get.
Either way, it was another good season, and I’m a fan for life.

Congrats to Wil Wheaton and his Kings
So the Kings won the Stanley Cup last night. Hockey is probably my second favorite sport, but with all my other hobbies, I never get around to watching it. I was rooting for the Kings because they have never won a Stanley Cup, and because it’s fun following Wil Wheaton’s tweets about them. It’s a great thing when the team you loved since you were in grade school finally wins a championship. Some kids become fans of team just because they win all the time. Others, like Wil and I, become fans for other reasons, and that makes winning championships that much sweeter. Wil’s team is the Kings, and mine is the Denver Broncos. Here is Wil after the Kings won:
That was me in 1998 when my Broncos finally won their first Super Bowl, and it puts a smile on my face. I’m so happy for Wil. That first championship is something you will never forget. I still go back and watch Super Bowl 32 from time to time. It never get old, and nobody can take it away. Congrats Wil.
