All about DENVER BRONCOS

Are you a Denver Broncos fan? What do you know about them?
I live in Colorado and I see a lot of people wearing hats, shirts, shorts or stickers with their logo on them. It is fun to watch them show these things and talk about the team. I used to work in a department store and when Denver Broncos won, it seemed that everybody had a smile on their faces.

Last year was the team's 48th season in the National Football League. From 1960 to 2007, they have had 394 wins and 347 losses.

I hope they'll have a good year this year. I can't wait to see the Denver Broncos' fans smiley faces again.
