It seems more than the NFL lockout makes John Elway unhappy. He is displeased with a Fort Collins punk band using his surname and calling themselves " Elway".
Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of John Elway for the way he conducted himself on and off the field. He is a fine role model on how athletes should conduct themselves on and off the field.
Elway has taken such offense to the bands choice of name that he had his attorney write the group "Elway" requesting the band change its name, however he did stop short of suing or issuing a cease and desist order.
One would think with all that is going in with the NFL lockout as a Denver Bronco vice president he would have much more to worry about than the name of a punk band.
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.
"We have no intention of changing the name again. We love the name, regardless of what connotations are inferred by the listener. Surely, if the Dead Kennedys could become one of punk's most popular bands without incurring litigation, Elway can keep their moniker and continue making so-so music for our dozens of fans to enjoy."
