I am a lifelong Broncos fan. Growing up in Southwest Kansas was not easy when the Broncos would get smoked in the Super Bowl and Chief fans heckled me. Good thing that Denver won before I left so I could rub it in! I got to Colorado in 1998 and moved to New Mexico in 2005.

I am now in New Mexico living with my wife and we are expecting our first child. Being in Albuquerque brings more challenges since I have to contend with Cowboy and fader fans. While my Broncos take the top billing, I root for the Rockies in baseball (2007 NL Champs), Phoenix Suns in basketball, Avalanche in hockey. Since I went to neither school, I root for Kansas (National Champs and Orange Bowl Champs) and Kansas State.

Colorado Rockies Major League Baseball Team

Phoenix Suns National Basketball Association Team

Denver Broncos National Football League Team

Kansas St. Wildcats NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Kansas Jayhawks NCAA Men's Basketball Division 1 Team

When a Seachicken goes too far......

I know we have childish monikers for teams we don't like, but bringing up 9-11 and making jokes about it before your team plays the Giants is beyond low.
