The Denver Broncos All-Time All-Stars

The Best Players at Each Position for the Orange and Blue

By: Mike Klis

Let’s say you’re the head coach of the Denver Broncos, deciding which players should start in a Super Bowl matchup against the toughest team in the NFC. But instead of choosing from the current roster, you have every player in the team’s nearly sixty-year history in your locker room. Who starts at quarterback: John Elway, Peyton Manning, Craig Morton, or Frank Tripuka? At inside linebacker, do you play Bill Rowmanowski, Karl Mecklenburg, Tom Jackson, Randy or Gradishar? Which player is your featured running back: Floyd Little, Otis Armstrong, or Terrell Davis? Combining career stats, common sense, and a host of intangibles, veteran Broncos beat reporter Mike Klis imagines an embarrassment of riches and sets the all-time All-Star Broncos lineup for the ages.

The Elway Years

The Man Who Lifted the Denver Broncos to Prominence

By: Mike Klis,Mike Shanahan

A sharply written, action-packed chronicle of Denver Broncos championship history. For 16 seasons, John Elway was nothing less than the figurehead of a franchise and the heartbeat of a city. As a quarterback, he was a tenacious scrambler; given the choice of sliding safely a yard short of the first down marker or taking a hit if it meant moving the chains, he never failed to absorb the blow. As a leader he was the embodiment of quiet confidence, inspiring—rather than demanding—the best from his Denver Broncos teammates. The Elway Years is an essential portrait of this singular era for Denver sports, one which culminated in back-to-back championships but was built on years of failure and resilience. When Elway hung up his cleats after Super Bowl XXXIII, his status as one of football's all-time greats was assured. But for over a decade, despite the records, awards, and thrilling late-game comebacks, that legacy hung in the balance. Veteran reporter Mike Klis captures the essence of Elway's dogged pursuit of greatness, weaving together memory, research, and keen analysis. Through the words of teammates, executives, and Elway himself, readers are invited to delve into the captivating journey of this football icon, exploring the triumphs and trials that defined his remarkable career. From The Drive to the long-awaited hoisting of the Lombardi Trophy and the quieter moments in between, The Elway Years is a must-read for Broncos faithful and football fans everywhere.

Open Mike

By: Mike Hill

Who is Mike Hill? For 49 years, he attempted to answer the question, to no avail. Hill was known to the world as the polished, versatile talent with multi-decade broadcast experience. After joining ESPN in 2004, Hill made a name for himself at the network, beginning at the highlight desk for ESPN News and later transitioning to some of the carrier's highest-priority programming, appearing as a host on SportsCenter, NFL Live, Baseball Tonight and NBA Tonight among others. In August of 2013, Hill joined FOX Sports. The embodiment of professionalism, Hill appeared to be living the American Dream; however, his private, internal struggles were taking a toll on his ability to live and to love.Eventually, the mounting trauma resulting from childhood memories of witnessing his mother victimized by domestic violence, a lack of proper male tutelage, discovering that his stepfather was a murder for hire, and the demise of two marriages, forced Hill to his breaking point. Amidst a silent cry for help and a quest to heal from within, forced him to pick up his pen to chronicle the most prolific moments of his life.
