The Broncos got help with their schedule release from a number of people. There is a time limit of 1:32.
Russell Wilson is throwing out the first pitch at the game.
The team's home ice is behind him as he celebrates a Colorado Avs win with a pom- pom.
Or he's in Monaco, mingling with the A-listers.
Don't pay attention, he's giving the address at the graduation. He handed out the high fives and visited patients at the hospital.
Over the past four months, the Denver Broncos quarterback, acquired in a franchise-changing trade this past March, has been all over the place. He has not let the football part of the equation suffer, according to people who have been around him.
"He's all over the place, man," said Risner, a native of Colorado. I know what it's like when the Broncos have a leader like that. Russell wants to be a leader on the field and in the community.
"If you're making $30 million a year, you can get a private jet to get you around to wherever you want," said Gordon, who played with Wilson at Wisconsin. It is very easy to do that. He is all about football. There is no other way to describe him. He came in at 6:30 in the morning. He's talking to younger guys and older guys. He's trying to make the place feel different.
Wilson's desire to become part of his new community only makes him push harder when he has a football.
When it first began, you were wondering if you would be able to pick it up. Is it going to be possible for us to own the offense? The coach asked. He does a great job of surrounding himself with people that help him, so he can still do all of these things. It's amazing to see. He's working nonstop every second. He's studying, he's calling people and he's on a plane.
A flurry of text messages to the wide receivers or a swoop-in call from high above is something Wilson's teammates have learned to prepare for.
Wilson wants to cram as much life into as he can. He is quick to tell his teammates and coaches where his priorities are.
Wilson said that football is the top priority. You do everything you can to get here early and leave late. You do a lot of things. I believe that if you put your whole self into it, no matter where you are, I'm going to pour everything that I have into it. We're always talking when I'm here, even when I'm not here.
The nine-time Pro Bowl selection was already organizing a throwing session in San Diego for many of his new teammates just days after the Broncos acquired him. Wilson organized additional meetings as well as some on-field throwing sessions with the offense.
Wide receiver Tim Patrick said if a player didn't think they needed to attend, then they weren't serious about winning.
No one has an excuse not to do it if our quarterback does it.
Wilson says it's not as busy as it was when he played both sports at NC State.
Wilson said that everyone is always surprised by how busy he is. I'm wondering if you think this is busy. In college, I took 18 credits. I used to play two sports. I did my homework after I played baseball all night and went to class the next day. There was a lot of work going on. I've never done that before.
To be able to do fortunate things, to be able to speak at Dartmouth, to support my wife and everything else, it means a lot. I believe in a lifestyle. You have to think about winning and being successful all the time. Great opportunities come with great challenges. How do you deal with that? What are you thinking about it?
