Steps down for health reasons.

Alzheimer's is a MoFo.
Very few people on this earth deserve this fate.

That sucks. My step dad died that way. So unfair.

Alzheimer's is a bitch. That sucks.

It's a real bummer. Hope the doctors can find something to slow down the Alzheimer's progress.

Grandpa had it and died of it in the 90s, but later we realized the symptoms were there much earlier. Like not knowing who I was when I called 15 years earlier. It can start out light, some memory loss but it creates total havoc on a body later.

Definitely sad. Prayers and best wishes to the Broncos organization and Pat Bowlen and family.

That's just horrible.

Haven't had Alzheimer's in the family but my Grandfather died of Parkinsons. Different, but don't wish those ailments on anyone.

A classy owner, and here's to hoping he can cope with it because it is very challenging.

Well I hope those new drugs that they are calling breakthrough for treatment and remission of Alzheimer's work. Read about them recently.

They also said that if you exercise the mind by reading interesting articles, it helps slow the advancement. Lost a relative recently cause of it.
