Watch all the fans waving and the players. To look at the players and the coaches and the reactions on their faces as they took a breath and kind of soaked it in. Were home and celebrating with our fans. And then they arrived here at civic center park, which, of gathered at 7 00 a. M. They had been chanting and music. When they introduced that team, roar. We were excited to hear from the mvp and, of course, our quarterback, peyton manning. Definitely a team season. Everybody did their part. Our special teams were awesome all year. Its no question the defense led the charge. We did our part. We made plays at critical times. Everybody contributed. Can you go back next year and do it again. Back to back, right . 50. It was so great to watch, and the reaction of the crowd, it was wonderful, all the tributes and the way everybody cheered over pat bolin and the mayor and governor and special proclamation, this day forever known as pat bolin. We heard from fans everywhere. They watched the conch being streamed online. We heard from fans in boston, south florida, jillette, wyoming. Not everyone could be here, but they felt like they were because they were participating in some form online and other capacity, sending us tweets and everything. It was really great. I know steve was in the thick of it. Hes joining us from 13th and broadway. People are so happy. Isnt it a good feeling to be surrounded by such happy and joyful people. Its so much fun. You said it best. Relatively quickly after that rally, especially when you think about how many people were here. About 500,000 to a million. Just as soon as that rally ended and the parade actually when it began and ended up around the city building, we saw a parade of street sweepers. People started getting out here early to get the best spots, and, boy, did they deck themselves out in orange and blue. Everybody was happy. Happy the broncos are world champions. Happy they didnt have to be at work or school on a Beautiful Day. And we did hear some excuses about that one. We called the school and told them we were sick. You called the school and told them you were sick. Hey. Were die hard bronco fans. I have a feeling attendance at school may be short today. I think youre right. Way down today. How exciting is this for you is this. Its a once in a lifetime opportunity, especially for our kids. To be part of Something Like this is amazing. This is one of those days i wish we could see attendance numbers from both work and school. Im sure they were pretty slim in all of this. Another really cool thing to note here, dpd just tweeted out not too long ago that with all these people down here, they didnt have many problems. In fact, they only made one arrest, kim, and it was for somebody threatening someone else. Other than that, not a problem. These crowds, again, incredibly calm. Yeah, they really were. I know you got to see and hear from so many fans. I think well take it as reporters well always remember, just a great day. Sometimes you dont get to celebrate those great days with everybody, but it was a great day. Thank you, steve. It really was so fun to see kids of all ages. Steve touched on this. Some of them not even in school yet. Kyle clark joked with me. Were talking about seeing ed mcgaffery. He has a couple of kids that werent born yet. They dont remember that experience. Theres a whole group of fans that are celebrating. They know pat bolin says were setting the bar high and this is where were going. He treated everyone right. Thats why theyre doing everything pat would have wanted. Hes just handed over the reins to joelle his. This day was much about pat bolin. They spoke about the bolins and what they have done for the city and the state. A winning Football Team can do many great things. They certainly can community a community. It also does a lot for the economy and much more. This day will be a day in his honor. That was kind of nice to see. We also talked about the fact that its important to note that the bolins have been out there and taken a courageous step against alzheimers. Its very special. Im sure it was a little bittersweet and difficult for them. They know pat has held that up in the past. In many ways, im sure he was with them. We know he was watching for sure. We know hes probably at home thinking, darn it, i cant raise it in front of that crowd right now, but they appreciate him. She was clearly enjoying the ride on the fire engine. I was in the streets around you all morning as steve has been most of the day. Steve is right, this crowd, they were just marvelous. They were in such a great mood. There was an observation by a they said in the last celebration well n 98, the fans were not up against the glass. They werent from the front of the sidewalk to the businesses that line the sidewalk. They were three or four rows short. But this time in most places, the crowd was to the glass, which leads them to believe it was a larger crowd. Huge. They definitely reached all the way to the State Capitol. You saw this crowd. It was just enormous. I think a lot of people did exactly what we thought they may do. Take the bus, light rail, they got here really early and walked the distance was the weather was wonderful, they thought, why cant i do that. Exactly. The weather was really terrific, which i think increased the size of the crowd. You should know that dpd is changing the crowd estimate. They are also saying 1 Million People. I think thats probably closer to the actual size of that crowd. Really remarkable. I already saw you know, Adam Schefter is now a big deal on the espn front. He has colorado ties. He tweeted a picture of this enormous crowd and said, so a few people showed up for the broncos super bowl parade. Its wall to wall. Sky 9, that was the image i kept wanting to go back to back to the watch again and again. The weather is so nice they want you to sit there for another 50 minutes or so. If the weather wasnt nice, i wouldnt be doing it, mark. Im always the first one to complain if im uncomfortable. Its perfect. The sun was warm. There was hardly any wind. It was just perfect out there. You did a great job. Thank you. It was fun. It was great to be a part of it. You have great memories too. Well talk about them from today and the past. Be right back to you. Thanks, kim. We want to take a look at traffic. The rush hour is loading up in interesting, rtd is running free tonight until 8 00 in honor of todays bronco celebration, just to help the downtown empty out and all the fans be able to go home and no cost to them. Its not really helping the rush hour at this moment. Directions. As you can imagine, getting into downtown was tricky for folks. Nearly impossible at least for parking. Rail. It made it slower for rtd. Some people waited over an hour just to catch an empty train. They say while all the platforms were full, people it. Of course the weather was nearly perfect out there. It made the wait at the rtd platforms platforms pleasant. Sending us pictures of your broncos pride. Use the hashtag we are broncos. Up load them on our website. All right. A Beautiful Day, as we have said many times. Temperatures in the mid50s. If you think it feels like spring, just wait until tomorrow. Danielle is watching whats ahead for us. Danielle, it gets even better than this. It was such a glorious day. Mother nature is going to bring your a game. We wanted to broncos to bring that. The big payoff and how perfect it was downtown. The bright blue skies sitting over the mile high city. It was a great afternoon. Temperatures in the upper 50s and downtown denver. All the fans heating up the city. Little cooler in fort collins, but still not bad. Right where we should be in the mid40s. Still in the 30s at this hour. The winds, they have been picking up, but theyve been you do see occasional 40 mile perhour speeds. As we look ahead to whose going on around here, its been so quiet. High pressure is just been in control of our weather for the past couple of days, and it will stay there. You can see much of the west, nice and dry. The eastern seaboard is braising for bracing for another storm. Mostly clear skies tonight. It should be a beautiful one. Well be springing into the 60s as we head toward tomorrow. Its going to be a warm one, but the winds will be a little wild tomorrow. When in the world will we have a storm around here . It has been quite some time. Mark, its looking good. Im loving those days up in the high country, but we do want maybe a couple of storms to blow through here so we can get some fresh powder out on the slopes. The only thing that will keep us off the slopes on a day a great day for all the bronco fans and our guys out here in orange and blue. It was marvelous. Couldnt be better. We have news today. A tragic day for the Law Enforcement community in mesa. The deputy shot several times by a teenager will be taken awe of life support. 9news reporter jessica ou. We know the deputy is not going to make it, but hes still service. He is. Authorities told us derrek gere is being kept alive so he can do nate his organs.

As a parent, we hate to see kids miss a day of learning, but some things might be worth it, like when the Denver Broncos win the super bowl. So many kids in the crowd today. Thousands of people came out with their kids. We saw a lot of youngsters, most of them, of course, with their parents. We got out of school. We got out of school. We called the school, and we told them were sick. Coolest parents ever. Score one for the parents. Many of those denver parents were back at the parade in 99. They wanted their kids to have the same experience. We think the school will understand. Well have much more on the celebration and the parade throughout this program. Well go back to Kim Christianson and celebrations celebrations from the past. Consumer reports out today with why kids in puffy coats may be facing an unexpected danger in your car. And all the football partying lately may have led you away from your resolutions. Dr. John is here to help get us all right. What is it about rush hour that it starts earlier and earlier every day in denver . Maybe its because a lot of people stayed downtown today and had dinner and theyre just now headed out. Up and down the interstate, theres a busy, busy rush. Well be following that for you. If youre expecting somebody around dinner, you may want to give them a little extra time. Gas prices in the denver metro area continue to go down. A huge supply of gasoline is flooding the market thats driving down wholesale gas prices and what we say at the pump. According to triple a, the in at 1. 59. Thats coming in at six cents cheaper and 40 cents less a gallon for a year ago. The carmakers are staying they want to saying they went to build bigger cars. Now that the gas prices are prices prices are cheaper, theyre having trouble selling the smaller ones. Coats are very popular in denver and colorado as they provide legendary warmth, but Consumer Reports say they can also pose as safety concerns. In cold weather we bundle our children up to prepare them for the elements, but a bulky coat and a car set can be a dangerous combination. The harnet might not be harness might not be tight enough to secure your child in a crash. She demonstrates a way to check they put ben in his snow suit and secure him so theres no slack in the harness straps. Then they removed the coat to see how loose the straps were. So the snow suit add this extra room. In the event of a frontal crash, it means there southeast so much more face for ben to ride up and to be outside the protection of his shell. He could have a head injury. You can use the test for bigger kids too. In addition to not wearing a coat, always make sure your child is properly harnessed every time. You should not be able to pinch any fabric and this should be at armpit level. How do you keep your child warm in the car.

Along with those tips, theyre suggesting you periodically go to a car seat checkup event to make sure the seat is properly stored in your car. It may be indulging too much. Maybe you forgot about all the new years resolution stuff. We have advice for you to get look at this. Its crazy. One of the only good things, it emptied dr. Johns usual lunch restaurant. He was able to walk right in because everybody was downtown today. It looked like they were having a lot of fun. Oh, my gosh. The masses of people at todays parade follows weeks of watching the broncos and a lot of eating at bronco parties. They were snacking in front of television. Wings, chips and dip, and probably a lot of beer. I cant say this much. I think it threw everybody off the wagon in terms of their resolution. Its okay. It happens once in a while. The main thing is getting back on those resolutions. February 9th, thats the day on average that people fail on their resolutions. You need to remember that. That meanous need to make the effort Going Forward to keep the resolutions. Seems to happen every year. What are terms of getting back on track. Going back in history. Back in december, when you make your resolutions, make them a certain way. If that didnt happen, and you started to slip, go back and do the same thing. A couple of things you can do. You want the go ahead and make small goals. Here is the example i will give you. A lot of people say, i want to lose weight. What does that mean. In february, you lost a couple pounds and get disillusioned. Instead, say im going to lose 2 pounds every month. And thats 24 pounds a year. Two pounds a month. Im going to work out every other day for a few minutes. Remember your successes. Were going to slip from time to time, especially when the broncos win the super bowl. Go back and remember, i lost two pounds in january. Im going to lose two pounds in february. If i dont lose march, well, im going to hit april really hard. What i hate is i make my 2 pound goal and all of a sudden im back up those two pounds. To lose another two pounds and now i have to lose four. You dont want to look at it that way. I didnt make the two pounds. Im going to go ahead and start over again. Start from here. Its hard to lose four pounds. Its easy to lose two pounds. Leave temptations behind. If youre tired, its easy to grab the junk food or forget your workout. Enlist others to help you as well. Meet with other people, youre goals. Every morning were going to meet at 6 00 a. M. To go to the gym. Nobody wants to do that by themselves. Get somebody to go with you. That can help. Most importantly, give yourself a break. Youre going to have times when it is not going to work. Its okay to slip once in a while. Get back out there and do it okay. Well, ive been good since the super bowl, but ive decided lets round up the wives and go have Fried Chicken this weekend. That will be great. Why not . Why not . Well find something to celebrate. And well get back to our small goals after that. Appreciate it. Beautiful day out there. Were going to go back to kim who is at beautiful civic center park. What a Beautiful Day she had. Look at this. Civic center park. This is a picture thats going around the world tonight. We know the crowd was well into the hundreds of thousands. How many, its tough to tell. Mayor hancocks office is in agreement with the dpd. More than a Million People showing up to celebrate. It sure felt like it. Just ask Kim Christianson. You covered a bunch of these. Thats the biggest crowd ive ever seen around there. No question. It was so polite and happy and patient. Im convinced theyre all home taking a nap right now. So, i think theyre all poofed out at this point. Weve heard the broncos now finally. Theyre starting to talk about how, yeah, they think maybe this defense is without question the best in the nfl, ranking the best defenses on a team. Well, i think they can say after today this is without question the best fans in the nfl. If they didnt feel the love that was given to them today, i dont know how they didnt. They were surrounded by folks everywhere. Everyone was screaming their neighbors. Theyre calling kubiak kubes. Theyre really enthusiastic. Victoria sanchez was also in the crowd. I got to see it from a different perspective. Im perched up here, but victoria was in the thick of it. With so excited. People who live hours away showed up to this party. People showed up well before sunrise to pick out their spot. In front of the city and county building. From the top floor of the library, there was a sea of orange from the steps of the State Capitol and throughout civic center park. One couple drove ten hours to take part in the celebration. We drove from missouri all night long to be here today. This is so fun to see all the fans come together and celebrate such a really cool accomplishment in broncos history. Threetime world champions. Fans were excited to see the broncos players and lombardi trophy make their way through downtown denver. Its something people told us they hope happens against next year. When the crowd was excited, it stayed relatively peaceful throughout the day. That was a great thing to see yeah, it was so much fun. That was good to hear. Its the way it should be. Talk to you about the lombardi trophy. Mark, there was somebody behind me that had an Ice Sculpture version of the lombardi trophy. He was holding it up for a while. It started to melt. Its pretty nice out there. I talked to people from nebraska, kansas, wyoming. I expected that, but i talked to one guy from connecticut who said they came from the parade. They havent been back to denver for 40 years. You know, the super bowl is out of reach for everyone. They did ask folks how many of you went to the super bowl. They had a fair amount of applause, but most of us will never get to a super bowl. But you can get to a super bowl parade if youre a denver bronco fan. Great. I saw people who i havent seen hello. Until the crowd got so dense around your platform we got pushed out. I think were going to share some other perspectives looking back at the super bowls past. Von miller said next year. I hope its a good thing. We sides, you look good sitting in front of the building. All right. Well talk to you soon. Thank you very much. Danielle grant, absolutely a perfect day for a parade. One guy tells me, dont tell me what happened. I didnt watch the game. I know Something Special is about to happen, but dont tell me the score. It looks like you got a sun tan out there. It felt great. It was picture perfect. We could havent told the story any better. Mother nature could havent cooperated any better. Downtown denver, you can see its looking lovely. A bright blue sky out there. We love painting the town bright blue and orange. The huge ridge of High Pressure is dominating the weather pattern. You can see the storms, the colder air pouring into the great lakes across the northeast. Meanwhile, around here, the next couple of days are just going to be quiet, sunny, and dry. Too. Were in the 80s, upper 80s in l. A. Francisco. Some of that heat from the southwest is just going to start inching closer into colorado. Today wasnt too shabby. Temperatures in the mid to upper 40s in northern colorado. 52 out at the airport. Some spots in the 40s and eastern plains. High country, not too bad. 20s, 30s, look at that. 47. Right now out of the airport, mostly sunny skies. The winds are quiet and calm and humidity down quite a bit too. Only a 28 . And its feeling good. About 51 degrees. As we look ahead to the next couple of days. Things are only going to get warmer and windier too. Right now around the foothills, were tracking the gusts and the teens. Alans park, 29. Even gustier once we move across the passes. Overnight and through tomorrow as well. I would say tomorrow afternoon well find those wind speeds in the 30 to 40 mileperhour range. Even here in downtown denver, closer to 20. Boulder, longmont, 41 mileper hour speeds. Its going to be a gusty one for wednesday. However. That will warm up temperatures quite a bit too. Thats bringing them some snow and cold. Meanwhile, around here, High Pressure anchored around much of the west. That will keep us nice and dry and even for your valentines weekend. The nineday planning forecast. Well go throughout the next couple of hours. The overnight period looks dry. It looks beautiful. Whether youre joining us from the mountains or off to the plains, no wet weather to speak of. Well have a few high level clouds right there around 5 00, 6 00. Theyre moving across the corridor. I think well hang with the clouds throughout tomorrow evening. Other than that, its going to be a pretty quiet forecast. A comfortable one too. Look at that. Upper 20s for the northeastern plains. Steamboat strings in the teens. Springs in the teens. Sunrise coming at us just before 7 00 a. M. Warmest day. How about that. 62 here in town. Springfield. 40s up in the mountains. Sunshine early on with clouds pouring into the city. 60 degrees in fort collins and longmont. Greeley. Tomorrow, looking spectacular. We have a weekend front that pushes through. It will bring us a few clouds on thursday. It will cool us off but only by a few degrees. We stay 15 degrees above average as we head into the start of next week. Look at. That valentines day, low 50s. We hop up close to 70. By next week no, storms in sight. Thats amazing. I say we do a couple of parades. Im ready. Get the floats, get the broncos, get everyone else back down there. And you still have your orange puffy coat, which is high fashion right now. I feel like i have to rock it for as many days as we have to celebrate our team. Our mvp didnt go to disney a lead quarterback is not only cam newton, tom brady. Von miller has had a busy few days, pressuring panthers cam newton all night and sacking him two and a half times. He helped seal the broncos victory. Before coming home to denver, he stopped by the Ellen Degeneres show. A lot of people did not expect you to win. So when youre hearing and feeling that, does that fuel you to prove them wrong, or how does that feel. You were the only one. We predicted it correctly. I appreciate that. We knew. I love cam. Hes done a lot of good things for us with some people that we work with, but you, boy, you really tore him apart that day. Thats my job to make sure the other guy has a horrible day. I really just celebrated. My mom has been there for me. My mom has been to every single football game, flag football game, track meets, assemblies, everything theyve ever been involved in, shes been there. So it was a special moment to celebrate my mom with the confetti dropping and to have that moment with her. And to know her son is mvp. Congratulations. He was having so much fun on the front of that fire truck todayism love it she told ellen she was the only one that picked him. Everyone seemed to be picking the panthers. Even vons mother picked the panthers for a while there. He was having fun today. It was great. I like how he said its his job to make it a horrible day for someone like cam. His horrible day turned into a thats for sure. A great celebration. Von miller, we heard his name and people screaming mvp loudly all afternoon. They were so excited to see him. All the players just had a wonderful time. You could see their faces, how much they enjoyed it. They were taking photographs and capturing every single moment. Thats whats changed, mark. You probably remember that super bowl parade in 1998. It was before we had this opportunity to make sure we could tweet and facebook and send everybody pictures of the moment. So lets take a look back. The scramble for better seats isened way. We found a tree right here in the middle of the park. Its ben, right . Yes. Where are you from is this. Im from denver, colorado. Show us your magic with this i love it. John elway, think about that. John elway has had the student to experience this three times in his career. Its pretty special. Youre just as enthusiastic. Youre doing the same thing today. I must tell you before the broncos showed up, it was selfie city. Youre right, social media has changed everything. If anyone recognized you for a nanosecond, you were a object of a selfie. I posed with fans today for 1,000 different pictures. It was nuts. Thats what i hear. A heard a lot of people want a picture with you. Yes, theres this discussion about peyton manning, perhaps, saying possibly hes ready to end his football career. Lets not dwell on that right now. But it was that announcement that Mark Koebrich was stepping away. Everybody wants to know. I have my two photojournalist, my fans out here. The one question i got all day is, hey, mark, wheres kim . Right, right, right. True. Shes back there. So did you. All right. But we have to too its buddy check 9 its a big day to celebrate. Weve been cheering on the orange and blue. We have to remember the pink too. Its the ninth day of the month. Its our day to remind you to do your selfbreast exams and remind a buddy to do the same. Us. Hes the director of breast immanning. Every day we talk about the importance of mammograms you. See it every day. Youre the one that runs the van. Talk to me about how important it is for our entire community. Our mobile van plan is about convenience. I like to talk about screen drift. Life gets in the way. You procrastinate and its 14 months and 16 months since you had your last mammogram. Now with guidelines changing and all the confusion, were seeing patients drift out further than 12 months. Even to two years and three years. The importance of that is theres a subset of cancers that can be lethal win a 24 period of time. If they drift out, the chances of finding it sooner goes down. It allows you to get your we go to work, faith services. We have a mammography thats common now. Most places have that on a stand alone clinic. Weve added technology to our van and clinic. One is called volpara measurement software. Its built into all of our machines that measures the breast density without it being subjective. Normally we sort of guess. This allows us to pressure directly. The importance is the denser our breast are, the higher chances of you getting Breast Cancer is. Huge Risk Assessment questionnaire. This is a tablet form that takes several different calculators and combines them so every patient fills that out. Just update it. You will go in and assess it. No additional cost to anybody thats an automatic service. Thank you for your time. All right. Danielle has a kitty, a new friend. Yes, this is cameron, mark. Cameron is about 3 years old. Longhaired cat. Just so adorable. Hes a little lover. He gives all kinds of little snuggles. Im told cam ro is actually cameron is actually a chatty kathy.
