Tradition is hard to build and harder still to maintain.
When an organization hits both, jackpot. Of course, there are various forms of tradition that branch from each of those roots. In regards to the Denver Broncos, it’s one of the few in the NFL that has built a rich tradition and been able to maintain it. The last four seasons and the death of Pat Bowlen have made it incredibly difficult to see a path back to the winning ways, but if any franchise can get it back, it’s the Broncos.
On the MHR Radio Podcast (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Spotify), Adam Malnati and I discussed how that happens — connections to the past and former all-time great players.
