Hey, viking blood, as a Denver Bronco fan since Frank Tripuka led them onto the field for the first time in 1960 (I was a sixth grader in a Denver suburb), I appreciate your gift of a third Super Bowl for John Elway! Alas, while he took the team to the Super Bowl five times, he only won twice. Those were, however, back-to-back victories, and he was MVP in the last one. It wasn't going to get any more positive than that, however, so he rode off into retirement and a hugely successful career in business.
