About Tom »

I am a 39 year old family man with 5 children and am a police officer in a small mountain town in Colorado. I began watching the Broncos in 1977 and have never looked back. My favorite player as a young child was Rick Upchurch. Then I became a John Elway fan and now my favorite player is Payton Hillis. For me watching the Broncos is a second religion, my wife just shakes her head when I get up and yell at the TV. As she always says "honey sit down they can't hear you". My response is "Yeah, but I feel better". On a more personal side I have been in law enforcement since 1997. I am a certified Field training officer and a certified Crime Scene Investigator. This is the greatest job in the world, because I have found that one man can make a difference. GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stockton and Malone were All Stars, it is a real shame neither of them ever won a Championship.

I still get upset when I see the footage of that shot. Jordan totally fouled Russell, but he got away with it cause he's Michael Jordan.
