December 8, 2013 - Titans at Broncos


The Broncos handled the Titans on this cold Sunday afternoon. I wore five layers of shirts and two layers of pants, and I was comfortable through the freezing cold game. Prater nailed a 64-yard field goal with seconds left in the first half for that "perfect storm" field goal where everything had to align for it to even be attempted. He owes Broncos TE Joel Dreessen a couple of beers for getting tackled at just the right spot. Photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

November 30, 2012 - Aussie Rules St. Kilda team meets with Denver Broncos

Once again, for the third time in two weeks, I found myself a VIP and a photographer out of my normal element (first as a wedding crasher then escorted underground with some miners in Idaho). This time I tagged along with a handful of players and coaches with St. Kilda Saints, a professional Aussie Rules football team in town to train at altitude in Boulder. The contingent watched some Broncos practice, toured the NFL team's Dove Valley headquarters, and met with a few players and coaches. The highlight for me was walking through the Bronco's locker room while the players were practicing. All their personal effects and half of their gear was strewn about the room and the St. Kilda guys and I just took it in. It was not the most photogenic photo opp, but I think the guys enjoyed it and I made a few pictures. Images copyright Getty Images 2012.
