No corny jokes.
No stale pop culture references.
Just a touching story about a Montana kid whose father was a big John Elway fan.
I’ll give props when props are due…
Good column, Rick.
Tag: John Elway (Page 3 of 3)
At least according to San Diego’s Matt Wilhelm he’s a punk.
During my turn guest-hosting yesterday on XX 1090, Matt Wilhelm came on the show, and I suggested at the start of the interview, “Jay Cutler is a punk, isn’t he?”
I was joking. I mean, I think Jay Cutler is arrogant and off-putting, but I was totally joking and never expected a response. I was saying it for a laugh. I had suggested the same thing in an earlier interview with Clinton Hart.
But Wilhelm, who is a great interview, took my suggestion and ran.
“He is a punk,” Wilhelm said. “I’m just not a huge fan of his.”
Wilhelm compared Philip Rivers and Jay Cutler, saying both were leaders and wanted to win badly.
“But Jay Cutler,” Wilhelm said, “he and Tony Gonzalez are the biggest crybabies in the league.”
Does anyone want to disgree with Wilhelm? Cutler is the humble genius who claimed that his arm was stronger than John Elway’s arm.

ESPN.com did a cool feature recently when they asked SportsNation to select an all-time player for each NFL team. Some players were obvious choices for teams, including Brett Favre for the Packers and Barry Sanders for the Lions, but there were some question picks, as well.
The site added links to video of each player, as well as a chance to debate each choice.
Here were some of the more obvious selections:
49ers: Joe Montana, QB
Packers: Brett Favre, QB
Lions: Barry Sanders, RB
Browns: Jim Brown, RB
Dolphins: Dan Marino, QB
Patriots: Tom Brady, QB
Broncos: John Elway, QB
Chargers: LaDainian Tomlinson, RB
Colts: Peyton Manning, QB
And some of the more questionable choices:
Ravens: Matt Stover, K
Saints: Bobby Hebert, QB
As a colleague pointed out, it’s hard to argue with any of these picks because they were chosen by fans. But Matt Stover over Ray Lewis? Bobby Hebert over Archie Manning?
Lewis has been the face of Baltimore’s franchise for almost a decade and Stover is a kicker (albeit a very good kicker) for Jonathan Ogden’s sake. And I know Hebert was a fan favorite that led the team to the playoffs in 1988, but if Manning had a better team around him, he might have led the Saints to their first ever Super Bowl. I thought Pat Swilling would have gotten more love, too. (Swilling only got 2.4% of votes.)
Cool feature, though.
