Woody Paige of The Denver Post ran an interesting piece on John Elway. The Hall of Fame quarterback, who turned 50 today, says he would like to own a slice of the Denver Broncos.
Here’s an excerpt:
Elway's association with the team he carried to five Super Bowls, winning two, has been strained the past several years. But he recently bonded with second-year coach Josh McDaniels and rookie quarterback Tim Tebow, and reconnected with owner Pat Bowlen. He has agreed to help the Broncos market this season's game in London and attend training- camp practices.
He hopes to become an untitled adviser to, and part-time coach for, the Broncos, offering "the experience and knowledge I have about football."
Eventually, Elway would like to own a piece of the franchise, which appeared a certainty when he retired after the 1998 season.
"That's always a possibility, but it really depends on what Pat's going to do. Would I like to be a part owner? Yes. I'd like for it to happen here. If not, and there is an opportunity somewhere else, I'd definitely look at that, too."
The rest of the piece focuses on Elway’s reflections on life and his bourgeoning business career. You can read it here.
