Plus, five members of the ’77 Broncos died of various forms of cancer – defensive ends Lyle Alzado (brain cancer, in 1992) and Paul Smith (pancreatic, 2000), quarterback Norris Weese (spinal, 1995), center Bobby Maples (Hodgkin’s, 1991), and free safety Bernard Jackson (liver, 1997). Alzado attributed his cancer to his use of steroids since his college days and human growth hormone in his attempted comeback with the Raiders.
The NFL retirement system has three components: pension, medical insurance and disability payments. The league believes the pension plan is adequate. Many players who complain about the pension plan took their payout at age 45, which was an option until 1993.

When your doctor prescribes you a certain drug or medication, the pharmacist’s primary duty is to fill the prescription accurately by giving you the same medication prescribed by your doctor in the quantity and dosage unit directed by your doctor. A pharmacist who is rushed, distracted, impaired by a lack of sleep, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol can fail to fill a doctor’s prescription accurately, which can lead to:
Doctors and nurses are not the only medical professionals whose negligent or reckless acts can severely impact your health as a patient. Pharmacists who do not give enough attention to their job duties can inadvertently give you the wrong prescription.
In addition, the 2009 Pat Bowlen Trust contains an “age of financial maturity” clause, putting that age at forty. Pat Bowlen was forty when he bought the Broncos from Edgar Kaiser; he believed that no one under the age of forty was financially responsible enough to run a business. (Bowlen’s “ageism” was so strict that he reportedly did not allow any of his offspring under the age of thirty to sit in his private suite during a Bronco game.)
Pat Bowlen’s seven children each own equal shares of the Denver Broncos. Regardless of which child would become the controlling owner — whether Brittany or Beth (none of the others are considered candidates) — that will not change. Nor is there any financial bonus for whoever is selected to operate the team.
The requirements listed educational and work experience elements, including a bachelor’s degree, along with a master of business administration, a “Juridical Doctorate” law degree ( which is what Pat Bowlen had earned from the University of Oklahoma) or another advanced degree that relates to business, plus five years of “senior” management experience with the NFL or the Broncos or Stadium Management company. There were also subjective requirements such as “leadership, integrity and sound judgment.”
In 2006, Pat Bowlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona, though the diagnosis was not made public at the time. Mr. B, as he was known to Broncos followers, was “well into it” by that point, according to a source close to the team, having shown signs of the ailment as early as 2004. In 2009, Bowlen acknowledged publicly to sports columnist Woody Paige that he was suffering from “short-term memory loss.”

The 2009 Pat Bowlen Trust was drawn up by attorney Richard Robinson, who has already testified that Pat Bowlen “clearly understood what his assets were and was clear in his directions as to how he wanted his assets to be handled.”
Brittany Bowlen is the third of the five children Pat Bowlen had with his second wife, Annabel. Brittany is a graduate of Notre Dame and earned an MBA from Duke. She worked as a junior intern for the NFL in New York, and also for a marketing firm. She was with the Broncos for a year, then left, and began working for the team again in early December as Vice President of Strategic Initiatives.
Elway began his legend through finding ways to win late in games, especially on the games biggest stages (minus the Super Bowl). The art of the comeback became synonymous with Elway and the Broncos of these years.
With a .653 winning percentage during the 80's decade, you cannot get much more dominant than that. Of course, Elway will be remembered for trying to will the Broncos to victory in those Super Bowls only to be blown out every time. He did help the team to a 6-5 record in the playoffs, which was really a 6-2 record if you discount those Super Bowl disasters.
The Denver Broncos of the 1980s became a franchise to be reckoned with the trade that brought John Elway to Denver in 1983. The success prior to Elway was due largely to the defensive dominance of the Orange Crush throughout the 70s and early 80s, but that defense was aging rapidly, with not enough talent replacing the talent retiring in those early years of the decade.
Another 2001 Ring of Fame inductee was Karl Mecklenbrg, who helps provide the kind if pass rush necessary for any defense to succeed. As a 12th round draft pick, Mecklenburg proved he was every bit worth the value of his draft position. If only he had hung on for three more season, he could have retired a champion, but like most great players they don't like the idea of sticking around when there is nothing left in the tank.

During an appearance on NBC's 3rd Hour of Today, Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway revealed his 15-year battle with a hand condition that affects the ability of bent fingers to straighten. The condition, Dupuytren's contracture, involves a tendon pulling fingers into a bent position.
It often occurs in older men of Northern European descent and is also known as Viking's Disease.
He had the non-surgical option done on one of his hands two years ago and then a year later on his other hand. Elway's fingers are straight again but there's always a chance the condition could return.
