Highlights of the day:
1. Getting free tix from my buddy Pete who works for the Broncos.
2. Getting to walk around on the field during pregame.
3. Getting to hold the Broncos flag on the field with 25 others during the starting line-ups.
4. Watching the paratroopers land on the field before the game started.
5. Hearing the amazing roar of the crowd of 76,000 at Invesco Field.
6. Being amazed at the 20something girl sitting next to me (no, it was not my wife) who probably weighed about 100 lbs, throw down something like five or so 16 oz. beers.
7. Watching my friend Aaron Kampman (DE for the Packers) get three sacks on Jay Cutler. He had an amazing game. We got to chat a bit afterward.
8. Seeing legendary quarterback Brett Favre play an amazing game in what will probably be his last season, culminated by this 80 yard bomb that he threw for the TD in overtime to win the game. Unreal.
9. Packer fans are completely nuts. First of all there were like 20, 000 (no lie) at the stadium. They all seemed like complete dorks, but entertaining none the less. They are hard-core.
10. Getting to hang with my friends Jay and Pete.
Here are some pics:

Those seats would sell on Ebay for a pretty penny. I need to call Pete and see if he wants to do a little business!!
Looks like fun!
dude - you have so risen in my book (not that you know I had a book or that it matters much in your world).
I'm a huge Packers fan going back to 75 when I first start watching football. That was a great game! Kampman is the bomb - what a solid DE for the Packers - he will be an anchor for years to come. I would like to see him spend his career in a Packers uniform.
Also - another good game today - whipped up on the Chiefs - which was nice.
