I hope Okafor and Charlton's injuries are relatively minor...

I think that "cheating on the field and dirty play" needs to be subdivided into categories. You've got equipment cheating like vegetable oil, you've got sportsmanship cheating like diving at the backs of players' knees, you've got a special category for Romanowski trying to break players' fingers in the pile, and I'm pretty sure that Aqib Talib and Von Miller carried guns in their waistbands.

Is there any Chief player speaking on record about the altitude advantage? Ever?

I'm sure you can find some guys after they retired talking about it, but it's not something anyone talks about when they're playing, I think it's a mental thing.

It seems like the highly trained athlete would be less affected and with oxygen available the recovery should be pretty rapid. I would think the linemen would be most affected.

It literally almost killed Ryan Clark...

Drew Lock's folks own Summit Grille, which is an amazing place for food and drinks.

That's all I got.

Sit both Watkins and Schwartz this week and hope one of Okafor or Charlton can go.

I've been there a few times, pretty good.

After a short search on the Google, it's pretty well documented about the advantage. The one article indicates it would take approximately 11 days to fully acclimate.
Hence the reason the Olympic training center is in Colorado Springs.

Um, altitude isn't a mental thing, it's definitely physical. There's literally a little less oxygen at higher altitudes. Roughly, there's about 4% less O2 at 5,000 ft. vs. sea level. Doesn't sound like much, but air is only 21% oxygen in the first place. So playing at DEN means a visiting player must perform with only 80% of the O2 his body is normally used to.

Less O2 means your muscles will burn through the available O2 faster, and it will take longer for your body to reaccumulate it. So lactic acid production and build-up are both going to happen faster.

In other words, you get tired quicker and it takes longer to recover. At the beginning of a game, highly trained athletes won't notice this as much as a regular person might, but it's cumulative, so by the 2nd half (or earlier for fatties) is when they probably really notice it.

However, if you live at higher altitudes, your body becomes accustomed to making do with less O2. It takes a few weeks for your body to produce the extra red blood cells. So Broncos players don't feel the effects as soon or as much as a visiting player.

That's why playing at Mile High is such an advantage for DEN.

I mean it's mental in the sense that players try to ignore it while they're playing.

I caught a pass from Drew Lock at the Super Bowl Experience in Miami.

Then I told him I had beers with his father and Micah Wilson's father when I covered them at Mizzou in 1987. He thought that was great.

That's all I got.

So CEH will be rushing for 300 yards due to the snow?

They don’t call him “Snowtime” Mahomes for nothing
