Elway 7 HOF

 I'd love to go to Denver, Colorado, USA and Canton,Ohio (home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame). I reside at both. No place like home!

Note: I am a pretty chill dude and wouldn't mind going pretty much anywhere, as long as they have cold brew there. Especially Coors.

I am a very special TB, I ask that you please log me correctly at Geocaching.com if you retrieve me and when you drop me into another cache. I am not "collectible", please do not keep me. My goal is to move forward through the hands of many cachers and I hope to go many places. A text log is not suffiicient. You must enter my tracking code and log me as Retrieved, Dropped, or if you take me to caches and do not drop me in them lot Vistit. If you are not sure how to log me properly go to this link please:

I dedicate this traveler to my awesome friend SockMonkey69 who introduced me to geocaching and is the biggest Denver Broncos fan on planet Earth. ~ BlueStarsForever

Elways story:

I was a quarterback and played for the Denver Broncos, now I am hitchhiking with my pal Phoenix. I like Phoenix because I am certainly somewhat of a kindred spirit. A phoenix, as the legend holds, goes down in a show of flames and combustion but is reborn into something totally more awesome. I was the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos in 5 Super Bowls. For the the first three I was the primary reason the Broncos even made it to the Super Bowl. I was a known as a "gunslinger", celebrated for my strong arm and risk taking, but alas things did not end well in any of my first three Super Bowls, we went down in a ball of flames each time. Those were my combustion. However, I was reborn, smarter and better, with the leadership my team needed to win the first and second Super Bowls in my teams history. After a number of years following my retirement as a player I became GM and Executive VP of the Denver Broncos and assembled a team that won the 3rd Super Bowl in team history, so it seems have have gone through the Phoenix phase twice, in a way. Pretty cool, huh?

The History:

Elway set several career records for passing attempts and completions while at Stanford and also received All-American honors. He was the first selection in the 1983 NFL Draft, famously known as the quarterback class of 1983, where he was taken by the Baltimore Colts before being traded to the Denver Broncos. In January 1987, Elway embarked on one of the most notable performances in sports and in NFL history, helping engineer a 98-yard, game-tying touchdown drive in the AFC Championship Game against the Cleveland Browns. The moment is known in National Football League lore as "The Drive." Following that game in Cleveland, Elway and the Broncos lost in Super Bowl XXI to the New York Giants.

After two more Super Bowl losses, the Broncos entered a period of decline; however, that ended during the 1997 season, as Elway and Denver won their first Super Bowl title by defeating the Green Bay Packers 31–24 in Super Bowl XXXII. The Broncos repeated as champions the following season in Super Bowl XXXIII by defeating the Atlanta Falcons 34–19. Elway was voted MVP of that Super Bowl, which was the last game of his career, and in doing so Elway set a then-record five Super Bowl starts which was broken in February 2015 when Tom Brady of the New England Patriots started Super Bowl XLIX. As Denver's quarterback, Elway led his teams to six AFC Championship Games and five Super Bowls, winning two. After his retirement as a player, he served as general manager and executive vice president of football operations of the Broncos, which won four division titles, two AFC Championships, and Super Bowl 50 during his tenure.
