Great Bronco Memories!!
Twenty stories, from the bare beginnings of Bronco football all the way through the Super Bowl championship seasons, as told by the players and recounted by Bronco PR veteran, Saccomano. Some of them touching, some humorous, all of them inspirational for any true Bronco fan. Can't wait for the sequel as I know there are many more great Bronco stories to tell.

Good book even for the non fan
I am not a Bronco fan I purchased this for my fiance' and ended up reading it myself.After reading the first story compliments of Floyd Little I was hooked. Although not every story was as good it was great to hear from some of the old timers who were certainly a different breed as well as character and it may me long for the good days of football or any other sport for that matter. The only down side of the book is it does get repetitive and some of the stories are okay. The entry by Shannon Sharpe should not have even been allowed in the book in my opinion as all he did was ramble on about how great he was and how he was sorry for being so great. His entry really didn't fit at all. Other than that a good read for even the casual Bronco fan.

Game of my Life
Very interesting book; for those who have followed the Denver Broncos since the 1970's (and even before), it is neat to hear the memories recounted first hand by the players.
