For American football fans in Colorado, former Denver Broncos
quarterback John Elway holds the standing of a sporting god: imagine
Christy Ring, DJ Carey, Seán Óg Ó hAilpín, Eddie Keher and Jimmy Barry
Murphy all rolled into one.
A single play he orchestrated against the Cleveland Browns is still
spoken of with awe 21 years later, as is his leadership "in the
greatest Super Bowl" ever played against the Green Bay Packers.
Yesterday, Elway came out to lend his support to Republican candidate
John McCain during a rally in the city's National Western arena, a
venue more used to cattle shows and rodeos.

Protesters are standing at the fence near the main entrance to the building -- both pro-McCain and anti-Obama signs are out. "Hocky Mom for Obama" is right next to "Bad Change.com, whose literature indicates their main issue is abortion.
The biggest banner belongs to SAFER -- Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation -- who promote marijuana as a safer choice than alcohol.
Their sign asks "What's the difference between Cindy McCain and a marijuana dealer? Mrs. McCain has made a fortune selling a more harmful drug -- alcohol."
"That's just sad," a woman wearing a McCain button says to one of the SAFER volunteers.

Visits to Colorado last week by a
presidential candidate and a vice presidential candidate are proof, as
if anyone still needed it, that the state is important this fall.
Despite the attention from Democratic
candidate Sen. Barack Obama and Republican veep nominee Gov. Sarah
Palin, it's still just the little guys who matter.

Cites "Hypocrisy" of Player's Huge Fine for Marijuana PossessionNew England Patriots running back Kevin Faulk was suspended for one
week and fined two weekly paychecks, or about $300,000, by NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell this week after pleading guilty in July to
misdemeanor marijuana possession charges. That has the marijuana reform
group SAFER (Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation) crying foul.
SAFER, whose primary argument is that marijuana is safer than alcohol
and should not be treated more harshly, announced Thursday that it
would deliver an online petition and letter calling for changes to the
NFL's marijuana policy to Goodell today in New York City. For SAFER,
the huge fine assessed against Faulk is rank hypocrisy from a sporting
organization that accepts hundreds of millions of dollars in alcohol
advertising.
