From what I've heard it's quite the opposite actually. He's no Gibbs (who is) but let's not kid ourselves, you have your idea of who he is and unless I personally introduce you to him and have you sit down and spend time with him, you're not going to change your mind
To be fair I've heard Elway is an arrogant SOB too, though it sounds like EVERYBODY there is bought in to his leadership lock stock and barrel. Looking at the current landscape, he's very likely to get another SB ring too.

I doubt there is a bad word ever uttered about Elway there. Probably a city ordanance against it.

Yeah I was just gonna say I've heard some no so great things about Elway. Plus I bumped into him at the HOF in 2008 and he blew off everyone who was asking him for an autograph and kinda came off like a jerk.

Tough to really draw any conclusions. But I mean neither Reeves nor Shanahan would probably give ringing endorsements privately of Elway the person. And probably the same vice-versa.

Plummer can't stand Shanahan. At all. I've been on the other end of the phone when Plummer has laid into thin

On the other hand, Steve Young loves Shanahan. So does Brian Griese

Bottom line is unless you know the person, you just don't know the person.

And we all have people we don't mesh with for whatever reason.

All of this is a little silly really.

Totally irrelevant, mormons are nice to everyone. And who's Griese?

You're probably too young/dull to get the humor.

But yes, mormons are widely known to be extaordinarily friendly.

And no, I'm not mormon. Though I've known many having lived most of my life in the northwest.

Moving on...

And you're probably too much of a moron to make a comment like that in jest. See, not all Mormons are nice.

Maybe you're too young to remember?

Just wanted to get in the youth crack though.

How old are you anyway?
