John Elway needs to get a life

With the NFL lockout in full swing, John Elway must really be bored.

Somehow Elway -- the Denver Broncos vice president and Hall-of-Fame quarterback -- became aware of the Fort Collins, Colo., punk band "Elway," and decided he's just not cool with the group using his surname.

The Broncos legend’s lawyer has requested that the band change its name, but stopped short of suing or issuing a cease and desist order.

The band, to its credit, was mostly amused. In a statement released via punknews.org, the band acknowledged the letter and suggested Elway had better things to do in the wake of the Broncos' disastrous 2010 season. ..............(more)

1. Wonder how Sandy Duncan felt about the band Sandy Duncan's Eye.
Biafra once suggested a band called Mondale. :)

3. John is the only Elway out there?
Maybe John should ask other Elway's what they think.

5. Maybe he thinks their music sucks and doesn't want to be associated.
This is Colorado, after all. There is no other Elway association in the mind of the public. He just asked, he didn't sue them. I have no problem with this, but suing them would be a little dickish. And the band should be fucking grateful for the publicity, considering they are exploiting his name.

6. I'm sure the band already is grateful for the publicity Elway's insecurity is providing them.

7. I think
the band made a good point about the Dead Kennedys. Not sure (though they probably did get it from John) how they got their name except that they said they don't reference him in their songs.
