Beating the odds, that’s nothing new for Kyle McCarthy. The strong safety wasn’t drafted out of Notre Dame but made enough of an impression on the Denver Broncos during last summer’s training camp to land on the team’s practice squad. Before long, he was promoted to the active roster and played in eight games before tearing up his right knee on a special teams play that sidelined…

DENVER (CBS4) – A temporary sign at the newly-renamed stadium where the Broncos play is causing a stir. The large sign displays the words “Sports Authority Field.” The part that’s supposed to come at the end of the name of the stadium — “At Mile High” — is nowhere to be found. Tina Lynne Wolfe was one of many people who shared comments about the sign on the CBS Denver Facebook page Wednesday morning. “i dont like it . it is always mile high and no amount of money will change my mind they say football is for the fans but i dont remember anyone asking the fans if they should change” she wrote. Loretta Ramirez wrote “It should @ least include @ mile high in it!! Its OUR stadium too…..right?! “ The Colorado-based Sports Authority won the naming rights to the stadium earlier this month, taking over the rights from Invesco. ( Full Story ) A permanent sign is expected to be installed next month. The Denver Post reported that the sign is only temporary.

DENVER (CBS4) – A die-hard Broncos fan who found what appeared to be an unbelievable deal on a set of Broncos season tickets on a ticket sharing website says he did what anyone would have done in his situation. Fred Gallegos, of Denver, said he was scouring StubHub.com recently looking for a deal when he saw four Broncos season tickets for only $500. “It was too good to be true. I had to jump on it,” Gallegos told CBS4. “If we didn’t someone else would have.” Gallegos said he considered the listing might have been a mistake. “The thought crossed my mind, but then again I thought perhaps it was somebody, someone’s wife in a divorce just saying ‘Fine, I’ll sell your tickets,’” he said. Gallegos waited for the seller’s confirmation, because he knows StubHub’s policy. The website states that all confirmed orders are a binding contract and are the sellers responsiblity. The seller confirmed the order, but StubHub wound up pulling the plug just before Gallegos had the tickets in hand. CBS4′s Jodi Brooks contacted the ticket vendor by phone and it turns out the seller actually made a mistake and meant to offer the tickets for $4,000 total. “From time to time we need to step in to particular transactions,” StubHub spokesman Glenn Lehrman told Brooks. Lehrman said the seller was new to StubHub. Brooks, vouching for Gallegos, worked a deal out with the company who said they they will get Gallegos season tickets. “We’re going to go out and purchase tickets on our own for equal or better vantage point and pick up that cost, so Fred Gallegos is going to get season tickets to the Denver Broncos,” Lehrman said. Gallegos, who said he’s “been a Broncos fan his whole life,” was very grateful. The Broncos open their NFL season with a game at home against the Oakland Raiders on Monday night, Sept. 12.
