Denver radio broadcaster Zach Bye pointed out on Sunday that in this divided world in which it is virtually impossible to find agreement, much less compromise, one topic has seemingly gotten 100% support.
The Denver Broncos’ throwback uniforms are literally the best in all of football. Maybe all sports.
Literally no one doesn’t think the Denver “D” with the snorting Bronco logo on the lighter blue helmet with orange jerseys and blue-and-orange-striped socks is the greatest thing ever.
So why wasn’t Sean Payton kicking it old school on the sidelines?
Turns out he needs orange pants.
“I’m like everyone,” the head coach said in his defense. “I grew up on the throwback uniforms. I love the throwback uniforms.”
The problem is that Payton is also kind of a fashionisto. He got to the stadium early on game day and discovered that the navy pants clashed with the old-school blue sweatshirts.
“We need either an orange or that Bronco blue, that old blue, as a pant,” Payton laughed. “So I struggled with the navy and then the throwback on the top, so I just kind of went traditional.”
But make no mistake, Payton says he is “the biggest fan” of the old school digs.
“I wanted desperately to wear it. I just hate the match with the navy bottoms, so we need to work on a lighter blue slack,” he added, “or even I’d sport an orange slack if it was the right color.”
Oh, that definitely needs to happen. I want our head coach in orange pants stat. The swagger on the sidelines would be impalpable.
Dobbins thrilled he chose to be a Bronco
J.K. Dobbins got his second 100-yard game as a Bronco, and the running back could not be happier he decided to come to Denver in the offseason.
“I do know today me and my boys went over another 100-yard game,” he said, adding this was a dream of his. “I love Coach Sean Payton, he’s a great person. The offensive line is amazing, the defense is amazing, then the ownership is amazing.”
In fact, Dobbins believes he was born to be a Bronco.
“It just took a little time to get here, ” he said. “I had to get over them mountains, you know?”
Tillman tries to score
Dondrea Tillman’s bruising run after snagging an INT is getting some suggestions to make the man a tight end. Who knew he was so nimble?
“I was trying to score. I always tell myself, ‘If I get my hands on the ball, I’m trying to score.’ You only get one chance, so you better do it all… It was amazing,” he said, recalling how he saw CeeDee Lamb come across so he just sat in his zone and waited. “That’s everything I dreamed for right there.”
But it was the roaring crowd that really got him excited.
“It’s a lot, just hearing the roar. It honestly gave me an extra boost,” he added. “That’s why I tried to pick up my knees and tried to run a little bit faster. Shoutout to the crowd.”
