  PS, "ursportspro": Don't you have a better source for this story than your MySpace page? Because, well, let's face it... that is not a source.

    My myspace page is a source of "spiritual" knowledge for all those who visit. It may not be a source for this story however. Thanks, I'm looking forward to your first article.
    
    Here's my other site too, it's the source of my story:

  I'll bet he wasn't as quiet as he said he was. Denver bars don't throw out Hall of Fame QB's without a reason.

    Your probably right.
    • Mr_Rosewater replied November 13, 2007

      There is no such thing as a quiet drunk.

        I would definitely like to hear the bar's side of the story.

    I want to be very honest and to the point in my response: I'm just a working-class guy and the exact - I mean exact - same thing happened to me as John Elway. This didn't happen because John is famous, loud, or rude, it happened because of Cherry Creek executuve management. They have an odd managment style that feels it's okay to limit who they want and when they want. And the fact is they can. I hope their customers will read this and stop going since many of them are probably wealthy republicans that do not agree to this style of government.

  You can't do that to Elway... especially in Colorado!!!! Let the man have his damn wine. He can afford it.

  If he had his wife with him, then he probably had a designated driver. Could have also ordered him a taxi or limo as stated above.

  How can you cut him off? He is like all that Colorado has.

  Worst decision that manager ever made from a financial standpoint. Yeah, by giving him another drink, you're taking a risk that maybe he drives, gets in an accident, and you're liable, but Elway's lawyers would try and keep the whole thing quiet and there's no way you'd get sued; that would just make him look horrible and jeopardize his reputation and post-football career.
  
  By refusing to serve him, you're taking a much bigger risk that one of the most influential people in Colorado will tell his friends to stop patronizing your establishment. That's a death knell for an expensive restaurant that relies on clientele like Elway.

  He doesn't have a wife! That's his girlfriend, Paige Green, and in Colorado if anything happens to a drunk out on the street the bartender is liable - not the waitress, not the management, and definitely not the Hall of Famer, but the bartender. If John Elway's car hits someone else, the someone else can come back and sue the poor bartender slob who's probably only making minimum wage since he's a tipped employee. There's no way John Elway is going to come back and pay off the poor bartender's lawsuit! You have to watch out for yourselves, people! Don't be so stupid!

  Rules are rules.....even for John Elway AND I'm a big Elway fan. Seven glasses of wine is plenty for anybody, even a big man like John Elway.

  Elway's own bar and restaraunt is 4 blocks from the Cherry Creek Grille and it's a nicer place. What gives?

  If someone wants to drink that much let them do it at home, that way if they drive off and get arrested for drunk driving, or worse, kill someone, it's THEIR fault, not the bartender or restaurant. It seems that mopst of the comments are centered around allowing people to do what ever they want and then blame someone else when it goes bad.
