Broncos talk to scoreboard operator about antics

Published

on

Denver Broncos president Joe Ellis and vice president Mac Freeman spoke with the team’s scoreboard operator about using more appropriate guidelines, ESPN reported Sunday.

The talks stem from the Broncos’ last home game against the San Diego Chargers on Oct. 23, which Denver won 35-21.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was critical of the scoreboard operator after the game, blaming the video boards’ technical crew for a false start penalty by causing distractions.

“I got a problem with our scoreboard operator; I’ve got to have a little talk with him,” Manning said after the game. “I’m not sure what he’s doing. He’s playing music and showing players dancing, getting the crowd fired up and we have the ball. I don’t think we should be doing that.”

Manning also said the crew was “disrespectful” to Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in how it portrayed him on the video boards during the second half.

Ellis reportedly called Chargers president Dean Spanos to apologize for the incidents and assured him that it would not happen again.

The Broncos host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
