Denver Broncos

Knowshon Moreno says he's laser-focused on an NFL comeback -- with the running back telling TMZ Sports he's healthy and ready to go ... and would love to return to his old team in Denver.

The 28-year-old -- who hasn't played since suffering an ACL injury in 2014 -- appeared on the "TMZ Sports" TV show on FS1 and discussed his comeback plans.

"I still have a lot in the tank ... probably TOO MUCH in the tank! I have to let it out!"

Turns out what happens in Mexico ... we get to drool over ... 'cause the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders hit Cancun for their annual team swimsuit shoot and the pics are muy caliente.

Another NFL star says his social media account has been HACKED -- with Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. saying someone infiltrated his Instagram to post a potentially damaging photo.

Harris -- a 2-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ -- went to Twitter and wrote, "Someone hacking IGs someone just tried me smh."

We didn't see the photo ourselves -- but we're told the pic appeared to show Harris smoking a rolled cigarette.

Unclear if there's a connection between the Harris hack and the Laremy Tunsil incident.

The son of Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen has just been found guilty of harassment in a bizarre case in which he claimed to be "the blood of the city" of Denver.

As we previously reported, John Bowlen Jr. -- who worked for the team -- was arrested back in June '15 after allegedly shoving his girlfriend in his Denver-area apartment during a domestic dispute.

John's GF called 911 -- but the call was cut short (the last thing the operator heard was a woman screaming) ... and when the operator called back, Bowlen went on a bizarre rant and referred to himself as the "blood of the city."

John was charged with harassment and telephone obstruction -- but denied the allegations and took the case to a jury trial.

But today, court officials tell us, "domestic violence was proven" -- and Bowlen was found guilty on one court of harassment.

He was sentenced to 2 years probation and 24 hours of community service. Bowlen was also ordered to domestic violence, mental health and alcohol evaluations and treatment.

If he violates the terms of his probation, the judge said jail will be imposed.

Broncos star Derek Wolfe tried to knockout someone during a Denver nightclub brawl, and TMZ Sports has insane footage of him uncorking the punch.

The video shows Wolfe in a black shirt with a chain around his neck, and at 6'5", 285 pounds he dwarfed everyone around him inside VIE Nightclub on Saturday night.

Wolfe's massive body is shielding the action when the fight starts, but witnesses say a guy was talking trash to Wolfe and his friends. When the pushing and shoving starts some much smaller people feebly try holding back Derek.

Remember, this is the guy who told Tom Brady he was going to "eat his kids."

Wolfe definitely swung HARD into the scrum, but it's unclear if he connected with anyone. Witnesses tell us Derek got hit in the face with a glass bottle, and left the club bloodied. Police were not called to the club.

We reached out to Wolfe's reps ... so far no word back.

Derek was in a much better mood earlier in the night when he mugged with the chefs at a nearby restaurant.

Von Miller is literally losing cash by the minute on "Dancing with the Stars" ... 'cause the NFL superstar's dance partner is FINING HIM $100 for every minute he's late to rehearsal.

Our 'DWTS' sources tell TMZ Sports Von's partner -- Witney Carson -- came up with the system as a way to ensure he was on time for practice.

The tally so far ... $500 from when Von was 5 minutes late to Thursday's rehearsal. The money goes straight into Witney's pockets ... so ya gotta imagine she wasn't too upset.

Peyton Manning got super emotional as he announced his retirement from the NFL -- and choked up while listing all the things he'll miss about playing pro football.

Von Miller is pimping out his million dollar smile ... with an insane $40,000 DIAMOND AND GOLD GRILL ... and TMZ Sports has the pics!

We spoke with grill guru Johnny Dang -- who's made crazy pieces for huge stars like Kylie Jenner, Fetty Wap and Bieber -- who says he just completed work on a sick custom piece for the Super Bowl MVP.

Miller's piece has everything from 18k gold to baguette and princess cut diamonds -- all VVS stones!

And that's not all ... we're told Von already has Johnny working on ANOTHER grill that'll be finished in a few weeks.

Gotta have a spare!!

DeMarcus Ware and Demaryius Thomas are celebrating their Super Bowl victory over the Panthers ... by staring down LIONS on a South African safari.

The Broncos superstars are visiting the Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa -- home to lions, leopards and elephants. In addition to observing wildlife ... the guys toured a winery, went deep sea fishing and visited Nelson Mandela's prison cell on Robben Island.

A rep for Ware tells TMZ Sports the trip was planned before SB -- but as it turns out, their $100k bonus checks for winning the game will easily cover the trip. 10 day trips like theirs tend to cost around $13,000.

What the hell was up with Eli Manning's face???

It's the question everyone was asking when the camera cut to Eli last night moments after Peyton's Broncos scored their final touchdown to secure a Super Bowl victory

Now, Peyton's younger bro is finally breaking his silence ... telling us what was going through his mind -- and why he wasn't jumping for joy like everyone else in the VIP suite!

By the way, Eli's face has also become a pretty popular meme on social media -- and the good news ... Eli approves -- saying it's all in good fun.

Cam Newton wasn't dabbin' Sunday night ... but Wade Phillips sure as hell was -- and TMZ Sports has the footage!!!

The 68-year-old Broncos defensive coordinator hit up The Grand Nightclub for the Super Bowl celebration party ... and GOT SUPER TURNT UP!!!!

He dabbed. He spanked. He got all the way down with a fat chain around his neck!

It was awesome!

Check out the clip of Phillips dancing while a bunch of the Broncos (and boxer Andre Berto) cheered him on. It's awesome!

The Denver Police Dept. says it's PROUD of Broncos Nation -- saying they only made 12 Super Bowl celebration arrests in Denver Sunday night ... with NO major injuries.

We spoke with Officer Tyrone Campbell who tells us overall "people behaved themselves amazingly" ... but said there were some people who "acted silly."

As for the arrests ... Officer Campbell says there were a few weapons arrests, some criminal mischief busts, a couple nailed for lighting small fires and a few other popped for cop car damage.

No riots, no widespread mayhem.

Peyton Manning celebrated with Budweiser ... Von Miller partied with LIL WAYNE ... and TMZ Sports has the footage!

Hours after the final whistle, the Super Bowl MVP hit up The Grand nightclub for the victory party -- where the superstar partied with several of his Denver Broncos teammates including Aqib Talib.

Miller -- a huge hip-hop fan -- stood right next to Weezy and Chris Brown as the rapper performed for the whole club ... make sure to watch Miller rapping along with all of the songs, it's pretty awesome!

Here's some Peyton Manning news ... straight from the horse's mouth.

"Miles," the official Broncos mascot, tells TMZ Sports ... he believes Peyton will finally hang up his cleats for good if the team hoists the Lombardi Trophy at the end of Super Bowl 50.

Well, he didn't actually "say" that -- 'cause he can't talk -- but he definitely used hand signals to convey the message.

BONUS -- we also asked if he had a dance move to compete with Cam Newton's dab ... and he totally does!!

Motivation or realism?

Peyton Manning's dad -- legendary QB Archie Manning -- says Las Vegas is DEAD ON with its Super Bowl line ... agreeing that the Denver Broncos are DEFINITELY underdogs on Sunday.

We got Archie arriving into San Francisco to cheer his son on ... and asked his thoughts on Peyton's crew being 5 point dogs going into the big game.

If you're expecting some fatherly sugarcoating ... you ain't gonna get it here. Archie says that line "sounds about right" but reminds everyone it'll be 0-0 when the ball is kicked off.

Good news for the son of Denver Broncos owner John Bowlen -- a judge has agreed to let him go to the Super Bowl ... despite the fact he's facing criminal charges stemming from an alleged dom. violence incident.

As we previously reported, 30-year-old John Bowlen Jr. was arrested back in June '15 after allegedly shoving his girlfriend in his Denver-area apartment during a domestic dispute.

John's GF called 911 -- but the call was cut short (the last thing the operator heard was a woman screaming) ... and when the operator called back, Bowlen went on a bizarre rant and referred to himself as the "blood of the city."

He's facing charges for harassment and telephone obstruction and has been ordered to stay away from the woman.

But TMZ Sports has learned ... Bowlen has filed a motion with the court asking for permission to travel to California from 2/4 to 2/7 ... presumably to watch his family's team play in SB50.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, the motion was granted without objection.
