After a year chronicling the Denver Broncos's record-breaking and
ultimately heart-breaking 2013 season, Woody Paige and Mike Klis
are releasing a new book focusing on that season, the players
involved, and the Broncos' history and future. The Super Broncos:
From Elway to Tebow to Manning, is the "definitive account of the
2013 season when the Broncos were the wildest west offensive show
in NFL history," writes Jim Nantz, the NFL sportscaster, in the
book's foreword. Paige, an ESPN regular, and Klis, a long-time
Denver sportswriter, celebrate the personal records and team
victories, but don't pull punches about the defeats - particularly
the disastrous Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks. Of perhaps
greatest interest to Broncos fans and die-hard football fans
everywhere, The Super Broncos is filled with entertaining and
revealing anecdotes about three of the most celebrated quarterbacks
in the history of the game - John Elway, Tim Tebow and of course,
Peyton Manning. "Watching Peyton and the Broncos light up the NFL
with an historic season, yet seeing it end in disappointment and
heartache in New York, reminded me of how far the Broncos have
come. And I've been with them through most of it," says Paige. The
book's chapters take fans through the Broncos' colorful history:
the team's birth in the AFL; the "Orange Crush" and the infamous
revolt against coach John Ralston; the team's first Super Bowl
appearance; the rise to one of the NFL's elite franchises with John
Elway and Coach Dan Reeves; Tebowmania; Peyton Manning and his
rivalry with Tom Brady; and a game-by-game account of the historic
2013 Broncos season which saw Manning throwing a record 55
touchdowns, and even saw the Broncos set the longest field goal in
NFL history. Finally, there's a colorful post-mortem on the Super
Bowl defeat: "Mike, sorry man." That's what Mike Klis writes that
Peyton Manning said to him after the Super Bowl loss. For many
Broncos fans, that personal account sums up the season. But where
they go from here is going to be one of the most interesting NFL
stories of 2014 and beyond, with Peyton coming back along with
probably three quarters of the roster, the Broncos will get "meaner
and more motivated," writes Woody Paige. "Bring on 2014," Klis
added. Broncos fans surely agree.
