8:27 am
hillman had more rushing attempts and touchdowns than any bronco last season, but he doesn't play special teams. kapri bibbs does at a lower rate. sanchez had a short but bumpy rollercoaster career at denver from starttory backup to now former bronco. still sanchez didn't stay unemployed very long. dallas picked him up. here is john elway on the cuts. >> ronnie did a lot of good things for us. we just thought with kapri bibbs we were in better shape with what he could do on special teams. now, it's always tough. they are all close. that one was really close. >> sanchez in the gun. takes a snap. >> a long talk with mark today. he was -- he handled it with great class. i know he was disappointed. he wanted to stay here. you know, we just thought that with where we are, it was probably best for us to go
8:28 am
time. >> and as britton colquitt signed a one-year deal to play in cleveland. the longest tenured broncos had interest also from the bears and from the packers. what a start to the college football season. not one, but two top five upsets. oklahoma and lsu both got knocked off. see, there is no such thing as a short thing in sports, except for air force over abilene christian. a gimme game for the touchdown. air force wins 37-21. according to the falcons, it could have been better. >> you could tell everybody was a little dissats feud with the win. a win is great and all, and everybody knew we didn't do as good as we could and everybody saw us not perform our best and i think it's important that as a team we hold ourselves to ahere standard than everyone else does. >> since the start of the football season the rockies
8:29 am

8:43 am
so we asked. >> it was the first game of the season. so the guys were very excited. >> reporter: let's review. the through ball was played. >> it was me and the keeper. >> reporter: the keeper went down. >> i wanted to score. >> reporter: and so dylan pritchard etner went up. way up. >> tried not to hurt him and i just went for the front flip i guess. >> reporter: you guess? >> i have been wanting to do that for a while. for a couple years. i was like, i just want to front flip, backflip oversomeone. see how it goes. >> reporter: well, it went. and then it went viral. millions of people have seen his miraculous goal. >> it came out perfect. >> reporter: and he made it look natural because it kind of was. >> he is used to flipping and spinning. so i assumed that comes second nature to him. >> reporter: when he is not on the pitch you can find dylan in the bowls. >> i was riding one day and i fell in love with it.
8:44 am
become more mainstream in the past decade. >> a few years no one knew what it was. it was frowned upon. >> reporter: now he is helping the extreme sport meet a larger audience. it requires guts, athleticism, and balance. >> i think i do push the limits r. the daredevil decided the latter may have been the biggest asset on that famous flip. >> peopler like, you did that flip. >> reporter: most much us will continue to watch it and still that sometimes includes dylan. >> i don't know who this guy is, but, you know, it kind of looks like me. >> reporter: now that we know he can do it, we will be watching out for what comes next. >> if you missed the highlights that we didn't show this time around go to 9news.com/hss. you will also find the extended highlights from all of our games this week. so in doing that story with dylan i talked to his coach. apparently dylan has been known
8:45 am
so his coach said it would have been awesome. had he done the front flip, scored, done the backflip celebration, i mean, come on. >> it would have been even better. still. >> and he still has his knees. >> yes. still alive. still healthy. watching that. scootering, i was just cringing. >> as was coach, i am sure. >> exactly. >> we will be right back to
8:47 am
a spectacular show over finland. a photographer captured the stunning images of the aurora borealis 18 miles from the arctic circle. it's a result of collisions between the earth's particles and matter released by the earth's atmosphere. >> isn't that gorgeous? unbelievable. amazing that's possible. >> i would love to see it in person. >> very rarely you see it in colorado. >> not like that.
8:50 am
today colorado's governor democrat john hickenlooper. we talk about healthcare and minimum wage, the seek location of one of colorado's worst criminals. first one of the hottest issues in the presidential race. thank you for your time. let's start with immigration. it's a hot topic in the national political discussion right now. if donald trump were to win and start the mass deportation program he has promised, we are looking at 180,000 or so people being kicked out of the state, which is than fort collins. what would you do if there was a trump administration trying to take that action as governor of this state? >> well, it's hard to imagine. those are federal decisions. so in many cases we wouldn't have a voice. i can't imagine that anybody would stand by and let that happen, whether it's the chamber of commerce or, you know, would have the potential -- i am not an economist -- would have the potential of putting the state into a recession. >> would you consider a lawsuit
8:51 am
as an avenue if this was the path we started to go down as a country? >> again, i am not a lawyer. i am the -- >> you have one, though. you have a few. >> yeah. but i think the, a, i think it's unlikely giving all the polling we have seen that donald trump is going to be the next president. but if he is, i think it's unlikely he would try something like that. >> difficult and expensive, probably. >> right. >> would you want to stop that from happening? >> of course. i mean, as i said, i spent the majority of my time as on the economy, trying to maintain the great momentum we have in colorado. this is the kind of thing that would not only disrupt the momentum in colorado, but for the entire country. i certainly would try to push back every way i could. if there were legal avenues, i would explore them. >> both donald trump and hillary clinton told me they support the concept that local government should have the right to block or control fracking, if that's what the voters want. trump's campaign has back
8:52 am
does that make trump the better candidate for the oil and gas industry? >> i don't know. i think if you are in the oil and gas industry and someone like donald trump gets elected -- he is so impulsive. he can't make up his mind one day to the next what his real commitment is or what his real policy is. that kind of uncertainty is the anthesis, the opposite of that every business needs to be successful. even though he may be a little bit hard to say where he is on almost anything. >> do you think he's a little bit better on fracking? >> i haven't heard it yet. maybe he is. from his comments when he was here before, he supported -- you know, he wanted full control. well, that's close to identical of what bernie sanders and hillary clinton said. >> i got this question on twitter. it's a simple one. where is the aurora theater
8:53 am
you. i can tell you they are -- in terms of the legal cases that are pending, they are making him available. convicts from other states were perceived as being a danger to those around them if they stayed in the place where they committed their crimes. so states swapped these people all the time. again, the understanding is for the benefit of both sides we keep those we don't advertise them to the public. >> so just to be clear, you can't tell me because you don't know, or you can't tell me because you are not at liberty to share it? >> i am not at liberty to share it. >> prosecutors say the victims right act says you have to tell the families where the perpetrator is. how your administration interpreting that differently? >> i am not a lawyer. that's the first time someone has asked me that interpretation. i can find that out. >> okay. i would be interested to follow
8:54 am
