Russell Wilson = Pat Bowlen Bronco
Good morning, Broncos Country!
Since around 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday, I’ve been on Cloud 3.
Yes, that’s bigger than Cloud 9 (think about it and you’ll get it).
That’s when news broke that Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos. The move isn’t official until the start of the league year on Wednesday. But that doesn’t matter.
The Broncos finally got their franchise quarterback.
And it still doesn’t feel real.
As others have noted, I’ve had the urge to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming. And maybe it’s just the after-effects of the last six years, but I’m still waiting for someone to pop up and say, “Just kidding.”
Imagine Pat Bowlen choosing Dan Reeves over John Elway.
