From Jim Allen

Hi Tony, I used to work with your dad Tony when he was a meat department manager at Farmer Jack. He briefly managed the Ypsilanti store when it was new, then went to Chelsea, and finally went to Belleville where I worked there from time to time until finishing my master's at EMU. Tell him I said hi. And, by the way, nice website.

Hey Jim.....Nice hearing from you and thanks for the compliments!! I'll tell Dad you said hello, He's still Managing a store in Evergreen, Co!!

From Paul Deeds

Dear Mr. Scheffler, Thanks for taking the time to read my email. I'm a huge Broncos fan and i wanted to thank you for all of the hard work you put in during your career with the team. I also would love to receive your autograph and i was wondering if this was a good way to make such a request or if their was a better way. If this works for you I've included my address at the end of this mesage. Thanks again! Go Broncos !

Hey Paul....thanks for the kind words. It means a lot to hear words of encouragement from my fans. The best way to reach me would be to send a SASE to our facility 13655 broncos parkway Englewood, co 80112...thanks again for your support!

From Eric Atencio

Came across your website. Appreciate the way you play and what a nice touchdown catch against the Browns. Been always a Bronco fan and glad you are an all around good guy and Bronco player. Hope to meet you one day. God bless you and your family.

Eric....Thank you so much for the kind words! It's refreshing to be noticed for things other than my play on the field! Thanks for visiting the site...God Bless

From Leo Duke

You probably want the starting job right? If you do, you should do something like a patriot tight end would do. Josh McDaniels is in love with anything that Bellichik would do. Nice catch today, and good luck!

Leo....Your question brought a smile to my face, you're exactly right haha!! Maybe one day i'll get an opportunity to start in this league, unfortunately thats outta my hands right now. Thanks for your support!!

From Karen and Michelle Scheffler

Hi Tony, We would like to introduce ourselves. Your grandpa Vincent is my grandpa Pete\'s brother, so that would make us 3rd cousins. We live in Carleton Mich. Our dad is Raymond Scheffler. We are big football fans and have always been a fan of Denver since as you know we don't have much to root for here in Detroit as far as football!!!! We are interested in buying two of your jerseys, and we are hoping that you would sign them if we mailed them to you. We watch all the Denver game's that we can, we actually get alot out here. We are watching you now play the Patriot's. My sister was kinda torn because she is a Brady fan, but we are of course rooting for family. Stay healty and Go Denver! Michelle and Karen Scheffler

Hello Scheffler's!!! Great to hear from family, especially from back in Michigan!! I understand why ya'll dont wanna watch the Lions on Sundays!! I spent a lot of years as a frustrated fan myself!! We've hit a few bumps in the road as of late but are hoping to turn things around soon! You can send whatever you would like to our facility...13655 broncos parkway englewood, co 80112 c/o myself and I'll be happy to sign it!! Make sure to include a self addressed stamped return package....Thanks again for all your support.

From Dominic Ruffin

Dear Tony, my name is Dominic and I am 12 years old. My Dad was a water boy during the Raider game and you gave him your gloves and wristbands for me to have. I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated that. I also love the helmet you signed for me and will cherish it forever. Once again I would love to thank you for all you have given me and hope you have a good rest of the season. GO BRONCOS!!! Your #1 fan forever...Dominic Ruffin.

Hey Dominic!! Nice to hear from you!! You are very welcome my friend, and thank you for all of your support!! Your Dad is a very nice guy and maybe a good luck charm, seems how we beat the Raiders butts that day!! Keep workin hard bud and never give up!! Your Friend,

From Tanya

Hello, How are you? Anyways, here I am browsing your website when I should be studying for my sports law mid-term, its a good distraction. My question for you is what goes through your mind when you make a big play, especially when you jumped over Leigh Bodden? Also what do you like about Colorado? Thanks & Good Luck, Tanya

Hey Tanya....A little procrastanation never hurt anyone!! I was the best at it in college :) It's funny you ask that, I had this conversation with my teammate Brandon Stokley. It's hard to explain the feeling you get when you get the ball in your hands in a big game....during the play it seems as if you're in slow motion (hence the ability to stop and think...hmmmm I should jump over Leigh Bodden!! haha) But afterwards it just seems like a flash because it is over so quickly and you have to move on to the next play and forget about the previous......I've had my share of special plays over my career and they are always fun to go back and watch in the offseason to keep me motivated!! Colorado is great, the weather is amazing!! Always sunny :) Hope you did well on that mid-term!!

From John a

Hi tony nice grab for a td against the chargers! Are you related to Steve scheffler from Ada, mi?

Hey John....thanks for the support!! It was great to beat them on Monday night football in their house!! I am related to Steve Scheffler....We are cousins, not sure where the relation falls on the family tree but someone has gone over it with me before...he overcame a lot to become a great basketball player, he inspired me growing up!! Thanks again...

From Bruce Ward

Tony: I grew up in St. Joseph MI. THeir was a Scheffler family that lived their. They had a son Tom who played Basketball @ Purdue and a daughter named Ann.I went to Jr High with Ann. THe family moved to Grand Rapids. I know this because I worked for the moving company that moved the family. Just a hunch you may be related. If so tell Ann I said hi. Nice Catch in the Charger gane for the TD. You need to work on your dance. Best wishes. Bruce Ward

Hey Bruce....it's possible their is some sort of relation down the line, not to my knowledge though. Thanks for the support and the compliments ....if you would like to video tape yourself dancing and send it to 13655 broncos parkway englewood, co 80112.....i'll be sure to incorporate your great moves into my next touchdown! Go Broncos!
