In town for Monday Night Football between the Broncos and Texans, Hall of Fame quarterback and current ESPN analyst Steve Young stopped by Denver’s Tattered Cover bookstore to share his new biography, “QB: My Life Behind the Spiral,” and talk football. In a conversation with The Denver Post, Young opened up about why he wanted to publish a book nearly 16 years after retiring, how he almost became a Bronco before retiring, his memories of playing for Gary Kubiak and Mike Shanahan and, why “it’s really hard” watching the 49ers now.
On why he wanted to write a book about his playing days:
“When I retired, all of my four kids were born after and my oldest would start to come home from school and say, ‘Hey, dad, I heard some story about you when you were playing.
