Russell Wilson involved in golf accident

Deadspin

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was thankfully unharmed after being involved in a minor golfing accident at Arrowhead Golf Course in Littleton, CO; the golf cart that he was riding in hit a bunker and flipped over. 

“They were reversing because the cart locked up and were too close to the edge and it tumbled in. Their teammates ran over to pick it up and push it out of the bunker.”  

This came just weeks after Wilson underwent surgery to correct a knee problem. 

Wilson will be looking for a bounce back year in 2023 with Denver, his second season with the franchise after having previously played nine with the Seattle Seahawks.

John Elway has left the Denver Broncos!

WAMC

It certainly will be an odd sight to see, but it’s come to pass. 

Denver Broncos legend John Elway is no longer with the organization after having spent 16 seasons with them as quarterback and another ten in the front office. However, this move was reportedly already in the works for some time. 

“I’ve enjoyed the relationship with the Broncos for a long, long time,” Elway, 62, said in an interview Tuesday with 9NEWS. “I told Greg I’d be happy to be a resource for him and help in any way that I can. I just wanted the flexibility. They’re in great hands. I still plan on being around to watch and be a resource for [CEO] Greg [Penner] or [general manager] George [Paton] if I can.”

The Hall of Fame quarterback helped the Broncos to two Super Bowl victories in five total appearances from 1983 to 1998, and was soon enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He also later served as director of player personnel/general manager/executive vice president of football operations for the Broncos from 2011-2020.

The Denver Broncos will now be able to count on Lewis Hamilton as the Formula One legend has invested in the NFL organization, expanding his portfolio.

The 37-year-old seven-time world champion has an uncommon amount of winning expertise, which has certainly attracted the club’s new owners, the Walton-Penner family.

Rob Walton, one of the Colorado club’s owners, said how excited he was to have the man with a fortune valued at $350 million Canadian dollars.

“He’s a competitive champion who knows what it takes to lead a winning team and a strong advocate for global equality, including in his own sport,” Watson said.

It is no coincidence that Sir Lewis joined the Broncos as he owns a mansion on the Colorado mountainside.

Remember that he also owns a luxurious penthouse in New York, which shows that he has some feet on American soil.

Lewis Hamilton seems interested in diversifying his portfolio. Recently, he showed interest in acquiring Premier League club Chelsea.
