but Jason Elam, the kicker for the Broncos the last fifteen years, has signed with the Atlanta Falcons.
I'm happy for him - it's a homecoming of sorts, since he played high school football in Georgia - but very sad he won't be a Bronco this season. The number one reason is because he used to go to my home church. In fact, he came up to me my last Sunday at my home church (he didn't know I was leaving) and asked if I could teach him how to play guitar. I just gritted my teeth and told him that although I would love to teach him, I was leaving for Dallas. Stupid timing. He ended up giving me a Broncos jersey signed by himself, Terrell Davis, Brian Griese, Ed McCaffrey and Brian Griese, and then also a football signed by the 2000 Denver Broncos football team.
He ended up leaving my home church shortly after I left - but I've kept tabs on him ever since then.
I hope he has a very successful season for the Falcons. I'm angry that the Broncos decided not to keep him. But life goes on.

Definitely bad timing! I wonder if he ever learned to play the guitar? Well just like you went home...so did he :)
