Internet Outage Gave Broncos Brief Draft Night Scare

Apr 24, 2020 9:46 AM

Vic Fangio had a momentary technical issue during the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night.

Fangio said his internet service and cable service "went out" just minutes before the first round of the draft was set to begin.

"About five minutes before the draft started everything went out in my house," he said. "Not the power, all the internet, my TV wasn't working, everything froze up."

The Broncos coach said "luckily some Comcast guys came and they got it fixed in about five minutes."

John Elway: Virtual Test Draft Went 'Smooth'

Apr 21, 2020 11:12 AM

Despite early issues, John Elway said Monday's virtual test prior to the NFL Draft went "smooth."

The league held a two-round practice session. There were some early technical issues, including a two-and-a-half minute delay for the Cincinnati Bengals to make the first pick.

There was an issue with too many people on the call not using a mute function, but Elway said things were ironed out quickly.

"The draft went smooth, it got off to a little bit of a hiccup when we first started, but other than that it went really smooth,'' Elway said. "There were really no problems with it, so we got comfortable with it.

"It should be fine and go on without a glitch -- I'm sure there will be a couple glitches, but for the first time I thought it went pretty well,'' he added.

Von Miller Tests Positive For COVID-19

Apr 16, 2020 8:58 PM

Von Miller has tested positive for COVID-19.

"It's true," Miller told 9NEWS by phone. "I've just been here in the crib, and I started to get a little cough. You know, I have asthma, and I started getting a little cough a couple days ago. My girlfriend ... she told me when I was asleep, she said my cough, it didn't sound normal."

Miller said a nebulizer didn't help, and his assistant persuaded him to go to the doctor to get tested on Tuesday.

"It's crazy,'' Miller told 9NEWS. "I have to be quarantined here at the house. There's not really any medicine or anything like that. Dr. [Steve] Geraghty told me if my breathing changed ... honestly, I'm still new to this. This is like an hour [since learning I tested positive]. I'm not sure what's going on, but I tell you what, I'm in good spirits. I'm still Von. I'm not feeling sick or hurting or anything like that."
