At a Super Bowl dinner this year, I couldn't help but ask John Elway why he'd never done The Tebow, the one-knee mini-prayer popularized worldwide by his quarterback. Elway is fairly religious, so he thought about it and then said, "How about this? I'll Tebow when he wins us a championship." Add that to your list of Things You'll Never See. Right below "Lenny Dykstra, President of the United States." Tebow is trade meat this morning after Elway used a combination of stones, guile, risk, friendship and legend to land the biggest free-agent whale in NFL history: Peyton Manning. Manning,...

Thursday afternoon, I received an email from the McCain campaign to let everyone know that Senator McCain was holding a rally in Denver on Friday. I got up very early and was able to get a good spot. I took quite a few photos, however the backlighting goofed up the focus on a lot of them. Here are some of the best. Former Republican Gov. Bill Owens was there. He asked people to knock on doors, call their neighbors and put up yard signs. Former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway, and former Broncos safety John Lynch were there along with...

(DENVER) – Former Broncos quarterback and Colorado icon John Elway will appear with John McCain this morning at a rally here, but there are signs that the GOP does not believe McCain has a strong chance in the state. The Republican Party cut almost half of their television advertising for McCain in Denver, according to a story by the Associated Press. Polls show a solid but not huge lead for Barack Obama here, a state that President Bush carried twice. In addition to a morning rally here, McCain has stops in Colorado Springs and Durango.

Whether the Hall-of-Famer and statewide sports hero has the drive to score a big win for Colorado Republicans in 2008 is another matter, and it’s the subject of growing speculation now that Sen.

The same qualities that make a great athlete make a great President - he determination to do what is right, regardless of the...
