Met him at numerous evenings over the years and he was always a gent, warm and fun. And it was glorious.

With Tebowmania and the win streak y'all had, and of course the playoff win over Pittsburgh, what stands out to you about that experience and that season? Coach Fox had come in, and I wish I could have played more years for Fox, to be honest with you. But how we jelled — and we basically did things to allow for the late-season push and magic of Tim doing things in the fourth quarter.
If you look at the defenses we played, how well we bonded and picked up our game in order to have those late pushes in the season, how well the special teams — [kicker Matt] Prater … and [punter Britton] Colquitt — they were absolutely crushing the ball, kicking yarders, yarders on a grand clip, pinning teams back, and we'd go out to do our job to keep the points down.
Just the overall flow and the confidence that we had that we can keep the score down in order for the late runs in the fourth quarter to happen, because that's usually when things would happen, in the fourth quarter. But we knew that. And again, we bonded together during those tough times, during those first two years, and then when Fox got here, there was the expectation for us to do things differently, and we did.
BS: One of the guys you were around then was Von Miller, and you talk about how exceptional he was even then as a rookie. Now, what he's going through changing teams, you obviously went through something similar going from Philadelphia to Denver. The reality now where players don't spend their entire career in one place, how do you balance that with maybe the happy knowledge that he'll get to go play for a playoff contender right off the bat? BD: "That's the thing about it. I didn't get traded, right?
I was literally not brought back, so there is some differences there. When you are traded, the way that I see it, that team still values you, and they value you so much that they know they're going to get a bunch for you. So that's different. They still value you.
It still hurts. Don't get me wrong — it still hurts. But they value you. When you're … not even offered a contract that's worth even looking at, then that's different, that's a different feeling to it.
But here's the thing, though: No matter how you leave and go to another team, the way that I've come to understand it is that I'm supposed to go to this next team to, first of all, earn the respect of my new teammates, to do things the first-class way in order to create a new family that … they can depend on me and I can depend on them for us to go handle our business to hopefully go win a ring, right?
So I was blessed to talk to a lot of individuals, guys that I respect, as I was going through that transition, going from Philadelphia. And I say it in the book that literally I went through a mourning period, because to me it was like you lose somebody in your family. That's how I felt. That's literally how I felt, because of how things were done. But I knew I had to be everything and then some going to Denver.
When I say 'then some,' in Philadelphia I had already earned the right from my teammates. I had already shown them what I can do and who I am. When I then went to Denver, it was brand new.
I had to earn that right. So again for Von, that's an opportunity. That's an opportunity for a new band of brothers to see the quality cat that you are, in and out of the locker room. And you bond and you grow a new family. That blessed me, to be able to do it that way and then have those individuals in Denver once again earn that respect and then they began to trust me, and knowing whatever I can do to help, I'm going to do it.
BS: In your book toward the end, you talk about how you were able to make amends with Philly. Even during your time in Denver, could you understand that the love from fans, teammates or staff members never went away?
BD: "Here's what I had to do, though. Even when I was playing in Denver, it wasn't after I retired that I basically had to forgive. I know forgiveness to be something that's not for them but it was for me.
Because if I held on to the bitterness or held on to any anger or hatred, that stuff would have affected me and my opportunity to then bond with my new team. That's why I did it. I was not going to let the decision of a couple of people prevent me from then having the ongoing love, respect and appreciation for my teammates, yes, and for that fan base.
That's a life thing. That's not just a football thing. Don't ever allow the decision of one person to prevent you from being all you can be for so many other people by holding on to regret, holding on to anger and bitterness. I think it was Nelson Mandela that said that bitterness is like you offering poison to somebody else, but you're actually poisoning yourself.
Does that make sense? It's like you're hating, hating and hating, hating and thinking your hating is going to hurt them, but you're literally poisoning yourself with that same hatred. And I did not want to do that. It's not that I hated, but there was a strong sense of anger there, and I had to get rid of that for me to be everything that I could be for my new team. What do you look forward to being able to do through that aim? And in those value packages are values from me.
These are the things that I have learned from my life, grown through in my life and things that I do things differently because I've learned these things. I believe I'm supposed to give these things away.
The first pillar so to speak is in the mental health realm. I call it 'cerebral wellness. The definition has nothing negative, but to say it in my neighborhood was a negative thing. So I've changed that to cerebral wellness. The second thing is financial literacy. There's just certain things that we weren't taught coming from where I came from in Jacksonville that I know now as a professional that I could have done things differently and approached life differently from an earning … standpoint [or] thought process that was not taught growing up where I grew up in the school system.
And then finally single-parent assistance programs. I was blessed to have my mom and my dad in my life. Week Month Year.
