The Broncos showed some support for the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.
In fact, offensive tackle Orlando Franklin was attending his first baseball game ever. Peyton Manning (left) knew this. So did Eric Decker (not pictured) and Von Miller (right). They also knew that the network televising the game had an on-air interview scheduled with Franklin.
You know what that means, a perfect opportunity for a prank. Keep Reading…

2012: Superstar quarterback Peyton Manning agrees to a free-agent contract with the Denver Broncos.
Who wins MVP is always one of the more interesting discussion topics in the NFL. This season, it looks like the award will come down to two comeback players.
The award season in the NFL starts tonight with the announcement of Pro Bowl selections and debates will rage about who got snubbed and should have been a starter. These debates happen every year, but for the first time in history, the most anticipated award in the NFL will be Comeback Player of the Year.

No one can say yet, but the race may have just gotten more crowded.
