— Interesting article on the Interweb about how the Denver Broncos spent this week in West Virginia, after playing in Tampa last week- they play the Jets in New Jersey Sunday.
Broncos stayed at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia this week. Back in 2012, when he was suspended for Bountygate, Denver coach Sean Payton caddied in a PGA golf tournament at Greenbrier. Saints later had three training camps there.
Trip is costing the Broncos around $2M.
Weather was cruddy Friday and the Greenbrier doesn’t have an indoor practice facility; the Broncos practiced on indoor tennis courts.
