Elway retro super collection!!!!!

colts4ever8718 · 01-22-2010, 01:36 AM

So I've seen some pretty awesome PC's of some great players (the BS one is awesomeness) so Im deciding this year to start one. Now I'm a colts fan to the end but my favorite player growing up was John Elway! So guys I'm asking for your help to assemble THE greatest Elway collection together! Tomorrow I will be posting #1 of the collection...a 2009 TTT Elway triple jersey /20.

That is kind of funny because Elway shafted the Colts to go to the Broncos... from Wikipedia:
"In the 1983 NFL Draft, Elway was selected as the first overall pick by the Baltimore Colts. Elway had, by then, played two summers of minor league baseball for the New York Yankees organization. Additionally, Elway had publicly stated that he refused to join the Colts organization, feeling the team could not allow him to be successful. If they did not trade him he said he was going to play baseball. Eventually, Colts owner Robert Irsay gave in. The Colts traded him to the Denver Broncos for QB Mark Herrmann, rights to OL Chris Hinton and a first-round pick (OG Ron Solt) in the 1984 NFL Draft on May 2, 1983. John Elway is one of three quarterbacks in the history of the NFL Draft (started in 1936) to be drafted #1 and go on to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The other two are Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman.[3]"

Personally, I would have told Elway to pound sand and go play baseball...

Yeah but personally I think everything happens for a reason and what we didn't get with Elway we got with Peyton "4x MVP" Manning so I think everything worked out lol

Good point... I don't like Elway because he beat my Packers for his first Super Bowl win.
