If you’re starting to develop a crush on Mr. Blakeman, I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but he is married with two kids. It doesn’t hurt to look, but don’t try to use any pick-up lines like, “it’s legal to hold…my hand,” or “this is your two-minute warning…before I kiss you” or “are you going to ask me out, or do I need to call delay of game?”
In addition to his relationship with his wife, Blakeman seems to have a strong relationship with the Broncos. Denver is now 6-0 in games officiated by him.
