Orton misses third straight practice

“It always gives me a laugh every time I see him get out of a meeting and hop in his little fake car, as I call it,” said Brandstater, the Broncos’ third-string quarterback.

That “fake” car may not be the typical vehicle for an NFL quarterback, but it’s typical for Orton.
