You don't remember John Elway?

Hey...isn't he that guy that dropped Time Tebow and got Peyton Manning to play for the Broncos? JK. I'm not that young.

He may be a big part of Broncos history, but he wasn't quite playing yet in '73 and '74. :whistle: The first "name" quarterback was Craig Morton.  Otis Armstrong, Rick Upchurch, Haven Moses, Riley Odoms, Jon Keyworth, Randy Gradishar, Tom Jackson, Billy Thompson, Karl Mecklenburg, Lyle Alzado... see I can rattle off a few more from before the Elway glory years. :smartass:

Lyle Alzado was a Raider too!  Did you hate him when he was playing with them. ;-)

Reminds me of when I met Brad Park, the HoF Hockey player.  He said the best compliment he ever got was a Bruin's fan who said, "When you were with the Rangers, I hated your guts.  Now I love ya."

By the time he left Denver, Alzado was about done anyway.  He was 'roided out.   I had no feelings one way or the other.

Amen.  Any team that is self styled as "America's Team" or any other such appellation that indicates that I'm supposed to be behind them no matter what is an affront to my personal fanaticism.  I'm a "fan" of 2 teams.  They happen to to be the home teams of places I've lived.  Even though I was born and raised in Minnesota, the Vikings are my second team.  The Broncos will be my team until I die.

I moved to Denver in 1973, when the Broncos were only 4 years in the league.  Quarterback was Charlie Johnson and the halfback was Floyd Little - those are the only names I remember - maybe the only ones worth remembering from those days.  I suffered through 4 dreadful Super Bowl losses, a couple of them when it didn't even seem that we belonged in the league, much less in the game.  One of those losses was to the Cowboys.  I will hate them for as long as I root for the Broncos.

Despite that, the Oakland Raiders will always #1 on my hit list.  They are just so easy to dislike.

I would want to forget those ten years in the AFL also if I were a Bronco fan. But I would say  to your chagrin the hated raiders are going to  get out of this rut sooner than later the way I see it. RM is the complete opposite of Al Davis the team has had to operate at abut a 60% salary in order to undo the mess the old man made plus get rid of the underachieving overpaid. Even though they are finally free of the mess  next year and have 50million plus to spend on FA's I see Reggie using all that cash  for depth mainly and maybe 2 marquee players. The raiders are going to be a good team in the next 2-3 years.

I'd be okay with that.

Tiger probably disagrees.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
