Broncos’ ownership fight heats up with new court petition from Pat Bowlen’s brother

The Denver Broncos have a problem — and this time it’s in the boardroom, not the locker room.

An already complicated situation with the ownership of the franchise just got more complicated Thursday night when William “Bill” Bowlen, one of Pat Bowlen’s three siblings who once owned a stake in the franchise, filed a motion in Arapahoe District Court to remove the current trustees operating the team.

The three trustees are Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis, Broncos general counsel Richard Slivka and Denver attorney Mary Kelly.

Pat Bowlen relinquished day-to-day operation of the Broncos four years ago after revealing he had Alzheimer’s disease.
