My last video post for today. I recall Guru talking about Elway on his show and I thought we could all enjoy these last few moments. He retired on my wife's birthday and hearing that press conference still causes tears to well inside me. I also remember the date several years later that caused me to scream along with thousands of other Broncomaniacs during his induction. Guru was there I am sure...how loud did you scream man?
