• The Mountain Top
    Oct 25 2022

    During his 14 seasons as the Head Coach of the Denver Broncos, Mike Shanahan led the team to two Super Bowl victories and 138 total wins.  His time in Denver included 46 wins from ‘96 to ‘98, an NFL record for the most victories over a three year period.  He is, by all measures, the GOAT of head coaches for the Denver Broncos and he was the leader that finally got the franchise to the Mountain Top 25 years ago.

    In this episode of the Franchise, Host Ryan Harris sits down with Coach Shanahan to discuss his time with the Broncos, players including John Elway, Steve Atwater and Shannon Sharpe and what he's up to these days. Visit truthplusmedia.com for more on this Episode and the Show.

  • Broncos Country (Part 1)
    Oct 4 2022

    423 games!  That's how many consecutive games the Denver Broncos have sold out, a streak which began in Week 1 of the 1970 season, over 52 years ago.  It's an NFL record for a single city and includes over 400 regular season games and 22 playoff battles. The Dallas Cowboys may be referred to as “America's team” but the Denver Broncos are proudly owned by the Rocky Mountain region and have been the crown jewel of entertainment here for the majority of the organization's existence.
