I recently had the privelege of sitting down and having a phone conversation with one of the best players in Denver Broncos history, linebacker Karl Mecklenburg.
Mecklenburg was drafted by the Broncos in the 12th round of the 1983 NFL Draft out of Minnesota as a nose guard. Throughout his NFL career, he proved to be more versatile than a swiss army knife, playing every position on the defensive front seven all the way to a Ring of Fame career with the Denver Broncos that included six Pro Bowl appearances and four All-Pro selections.
As a player, Mecklenburg helped the Broncos to a stellar three AFC titles and a regular season record of 114-65. Still, Mecklenburg didn’t keep the experience and lessons learned of the NFL to himself, as he has just finished writing his first book entitled Heart of a Student Athlete: All Pro Advice for Competitors and Their Families.
You can find more information on purchasing the book at www.studentathlete.us, where there is a sample chapter and a guest page. I strongly encourage all of you to check out this book even if you are not a parent or a student athlete. The lessons it teaches are absolutely outstanding, and reading the experiences of a professional athlete to me are always interesting.
In addition to his book, Mecklenburg operates the REACH (Rewarding Experiences for All Children) Foundation and does motivational speaking all across the nation. Check out www.karlmecklenburg.org for more information about this program, and see a later segment in the interview for more details.
I am honored to have spoken with him personally, and I would like to share our conversation with you readers after we reminisced about the great city of Sioux Falls.

For Denver Broncos fans and Baltimore Ravens fans alike, the bye week is finally over, and it is time to get back to work.
This week’s matchup pits the Broncos (6-0, 1st place AFC West) against the Ravens (3-3, 3rd place AFC North) in what figures to be a pivotal matchup for both teams.
Denver has a flawless record following their bye week, and only one injury to report which has some fearing the off time came a bit too early for Denver this season, though it was nothing they could control.
The Ravens are a very intriguing matchup for the Broncos, especially since it will be a road game.

It wasn’t the flashiest move, but the Broncos have finally fiddled with their roster, waiving second year punter Brett Kern and signing veteran Mitch Berger.
Kern has been on the hot seat for a while with the Broncos, and there were rumors he would not beat out Britton Colquitt for the punter job earlier this offseason. Head coach Josh McDaniels and the Broncos have seen enough from Kern, and they decided to go with the veteran Berger who will wear number 17 with the Broncos.

This will be the first installment of this particular segment, and I don’t think it could have come at a better time given the fact that our Denver Broncos are currently concluding their bye week.
There was still a lot of football being played on Sunday, and a lot that involved Denver indirectly. Here is a roundup of Sunday’s activities and how the Broncos were impacted.

Attention Broncos fans–I have been given a very unique opportunity.
Next week I will conduct an interview with former Broncos linebacker Karl Mecklenburg, one of the most decorated players in team history.

Although a bye week after six games is not ideal, the Denver Broncos are sitting pretty at 6-0, and 3.5 games ahead of San Diego in the AFC West.
The Broncos have been quite a surprise story to many this year, and as fans head into two weeks with no Denver Bronco football, here is a recap of the incredible ride the first six games have been.

There simply are not enough game balls to go around.
The Denver Broncos are off to a 6-0 start after going on the road and defeating the San Diego Chargers 34-23 in a prime time matchup on Monday Night Football.
The Broncos made a huge statement with this win, putting on their most complete performance of the season so far in front of a national audience as they increased their lead in the AFC West to an outstanding 3.5 games.
Enough is enough of this “surprising” tag that has been attached to the Broncos, they are absolutely for real and are playing their best ball this decade.

How quickly Denver Broncos fans have forgotten about Jay Cutler and Mike Shanahan.
Winning heals a lot, apparently.
