This One’s for John

[UPDATED 06-28-2007]

Happy Birthday John Elway

The Legend turns 47, but we’ve got more to celebrate as well.

Broncos fans, mark your calendars. July 7, 2007. 07-07-07. The seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh year.. Such a cosmic coincidence only happens… well, once a century. And it is the only time it will take place during the lifetime of one John Elway who just happens to be the coolest dude I’ve never met. And if I had met him, he’d be the coolest dude I had met.

Here at BroncoTalk, I’m happy to celebrate Hall of Fame Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway on the first ever John Elway Day. Originally suggested/created by the excellent Colorado Homers blog, the movement has been gaining momentum of late. You can find the original posting here.

It’s a shame that I’ll be in the depths of the Grand Tetons during the annual BroncoTalk Bye Week for John Elway Day. I’ll have a little celebratory post scheduled for that day… and I’ll sneak my Elway jersey in my suitcase just to drive my wife nuts (like most Broncos bloggers out there, this is an outlet for my obsession… wearing that jersey’s about the most daring I’d be with regards to the Broncos and my wife and my media-free week in the country).

Elway Day will be represented in Wyoming, fellow fans!
