John Elway Sounds A Sour Note About Band With Same Name:



With the NFL lockout in full swing, John Elway must really be bored.

Somehow Elway -- the Denver Broncos vice president and Hall-of-Fame quarterback -- became aware of the Fort Collins, Colo., punk band "Elway," and decided he's just not cool with the group using his surname.

The Broncos legend’s lawyer has requested that the band change its name, but stopped short of suing or issuing a cease and desist order.

The band, to its credit, was mostly amused. In a statement released via punknews.org, the band acknowledged the letter and suggested Elway had better things to do in the wake of the Broncos' disastrous 2010 season.

"We have no intention of changing the name again. We love the name, regardless of what connotations are inferred by the listener. Surely, if the Dead Kennedys could become one of punk's most popular bands without incurring litigation, Elway can keep their moniker and continue making so-so music for our dozens of fans to enjoy."

Score a point for Elway -- the band, that is. And now the group has now received more press than it ever would have had Elway minded his own business. There have to be quite a few people perusing the band's MySpace site, rocking out to songs like "Wolf Shirt," which to be honest, isn't a bad little jam.

Anyway, it's better than anything Elway or his team have produced in the last year. Maybe he's jealous

John Elway - still a fucking crybaby, just like he was back in the day when he whined about the noise level in the Kingdome

It's sounds like Elway should have been playing baseball instead of football.

Funny, I just read this on Yahoo... The irony is I would have never heard of 'Elway' the band if Elway the player wasn't crying about it.

You don't hear me bitching about this:

You would be if you actually heard it. Memorable line: "Like a candle in the wind, I'm easy to put out." Sweet Jesus, this is so awful I could only take about half a minute of it.

Yeah...but that one Super Bowl performance was fucking legendary!

I try to only remember him from that night. Man we had a lot of fun at my apartment drinking and watching that game.
