But it my world it is merely good parenting.
I'm a HUGE fan of the Denver Broncos. I've been a Bronco fan since I was old enough to care about football. I was raised right here in Central Pennsylvania, but my parents are both natives of Denver and I still have a lot of family that lives in Colorado.
I was raised to be a Bronco fan, and now I'm passing it on to my two boys. Thanks to our satellite dish, we never miss a Bronco game at our house. My good friends know to not even bother trying to call me on Sundays in the Fall, there is zero chance anyone will answer. Things are most intense when the Broncos play the Oakland Raiders. The Broncos and Raiders are storied and bitter rivals that date back to the days of the old AFL. Nothing gets our house rocking more than the two times a year when the Broncos and Raiders renew hostilities.
Raider fans have been using a lot of these lately....
Well, this lifetime Denver Bronco fan recently had his proudest moment to date as a father, and I just had to share.....
The other day I picked my 6 year old son Christopher up after kindergarten. As Christopher was getting into the back of the car, he took notice of a, "20 something" Dad that was there picking up his daughter. Christopher was eyeballing him because not only was the other Dad slapped together at about 6'8" and 270 pounds of muscle, but he was also wearing a black Oakland Raiders t-shirt. Just before ducking into the back seat, Christopher stuck his head up above a car, looked the other Dad dead in the eye and shouted, "Raiders Stink Dude!!!"
I hastily issued an apology to the gentleman in the Raiders t-shirt, and to make it look good I also scolded Christopher loud enough for all in the parking lot to hear.
After we were safely in the car and pulling away, I explained to Christopher that while it is true that the Raiders do in fact stink, it's not a good idea to let everyone wearing Raider colors know that upon sight. Especially when the Raider fan in question could easily kick his Daddy's tail!

A WHP CBS 21 staff member since January of 2002, Steve Knight's semi-distinguished radio and television career has turned him into such a superstar that he is typing his own bio. I'm a Central Pennsylvania native that has been lucky enough to spend my entire career in Harrisburg. After 9 years immersed in the local rock music scene as a disc jockey, I decided to try my hand at traffic reporting in 1997. A stint as the local Operations Manager for the Traffax Traffic Network led me to making the leap to WHP. I was raised in Lancaster County but I have lived on the West Shore for the past ten years.
