I’ve savored every moment of the last two weeks, watching SportsCenter, listening to ESPN radio and eating up all the coverage of my Denver Broncos. It’s almost showtime. And best of all, WE ARE PREPARED for tomorrow’s game.
We have our Broncos shirts. I have my Broncos lounge pants and Manning 18 Jersey. Our best friends are coming over. IT’S SUPER BOWL TIME.
My wife is making deviled eggs that look like footballs. We’ll eat Papa John’s pizza in honor of Manning. She’s also making some kind of Rocky Mountain Cookie. We’ll have meat and cheese and bread. She didn’t want to buy Coors, but bought some fancy beer made by Coors. It’s all about authenticity I told her. She ignored me. I’m used to it.
My good friend and long-time Super Bowl pal is making pot roast in honor of #94, Terrance Knighton, of the Broncos. Every time he makes a big play we’re going to yell, “POT ROAST,” and eat a slice in his honor.
Here’s an assortment of the other Broncos stuff we have ready for the game.
Our black lab is ready and wearing her lucky collar.
Broncos tattoos and eye patches or whatever they’re called.
Found an orange flower at Home Depot. A Martha Stewart tip, along with how to hide your stock gains.
My wrist band and the orange hair gel I plan on using tomorrow. Yeah, you heard it here.
Plates and napkins in orange and blue. Martha Stewart’s Chow Chows would be happy to eat off of these pups, though in China they’d eat the Chow Chows off plates like these, if they watched the Super Bowl. (Where did that comment come from? There go my fans in China.)
A nice candy touch by my wife, who hates Martha Stewart.
Lording over the game is my $2 Broncos troll. I discovered him waiting for me at a flea market in Long Beach and consider him my best find EVER! BTW, he was the only troll they had. Yes, the Universe works its magic in strange ways.
Little John Elway and Big John Elway will be there to watch. My friend teases me about how big of a head the real John Elway has. These two are only slightly larger, he says. But look at these, the little one’s head is as large as his body. Balloon-Head John Elway is more like it.
The Unknown Cystic 
That was so painful–all our mojo went for naught. Still love my boys though.
Sherri,
I will be a fan forever, but right now everything Broncos-related in hidden from my view. Come September, I’ll be back rooting for them.
Really nice to hear from you – twice! A bonus.
