From what I understand, they changed to the current ones in 1997 because Bowlen was thinking about moving the team (before the stadium was official). They did win SB's in them, but they also lost one, and they have had some of their biggest playoff droughts in recent history in those unis as well. I don’t know if full retro is the way to go but with a new owner and possibly new stadium I’d be shocked if new unit’s weren’t announced for 2023 or 2024. It’s such a cash cow for teams - and the new owners have zero loyalty to the uni’s. If there was a betting prop on it for next year I’d be all over it at +200 odds, and even money for 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRNA Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 This caught my eye. The Bronco's just added Condoleezza Rice to the ownership group. That kinda settles the "who's the smartest person in the room" question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethically - they are billionaires - and you don't become a billionaire (and stay as one) without screwing everyone you come into contact with. As for being 'the smartest person in the room' - that one is open for debate. Now if it was an award for the biggest shyster in the room then there would definitely be a case.

AnAngryAmerican Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 The media BBQ will be tomorrow, marking the unofficial start of training camp. Since the ownership transition hasn't been formally approved by the league yet, I'm guessing that it will be Joe Ellis serving as the host of the event and taking questions as "owner." I'm sure George will talk too but I'm curious if Ellis will be able to give us any insight as to what the new ownership structure will look like.

lomaxgrUK Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Probably one of the most random instances of two of my favourite sports colliding ... I imagine his input will be minimal, but I can still say that you will struggle to find an athlete more obsessed with winning than Lewis Hamilton. He's also a pioneer in a sport dominated by white males, which I imagine will (rightly) appeal to our players.

Just like how Khan owning JAX has UK behind them every time they play there. Nice to get a home game when we cross the pond. Especially as it counts as a road game. With LAC that’s getting 2 extra home games on the schedule lol. Edited August 2, 2022 by Broncofan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people find Lewis' personality quite polarising. He has so much support from the F1 community in the UK, but he's not always looked at particularly favourably by (pre-dominantly) right-wing people due to his strong views on climate change, veganism, equality and every other controversial topic that I can't be arsed going in to. He will definitely have an impact on our appeal from black players because of the amazing work Lewis has done for minorities in the sport (providing he's actually going to be involved at all. He's still competing in F1 right now). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt seriously if he'll be involved outside of name recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
