READER COMMENTS

I am really tired of this. The Broncos have done these over seas trips before, and started the season slow, and never got caught up. At the end of the season, players were on record saying that they never felt right, after the travel across the globe, adjusting to opposite times, and then back here. A trip to China is a guarantee to boost Pat Bowlens ego, and ruin the chances of a successful season.
