Hall of Fame Broncos quarterback John Elway was involved in a heated dispute at the Cherry Creek Grille in Colorado the other night. It seems that Elway was dining there with his girlfriend Paige Green along with another friend, and had finished 7 glasses of wine. When he attempted to order his eigth glass, the bartender refused to serve him due to apparent intoxication.
He was told by the bartender that management was cutting him off. According to the former two-time Superbowl champ, he then asked to speak to the manager.
"I asked her for her card to find out what her name was," Elway said.
"I said to her 'If that's your policy, then that's the way it is, but I'm not coming back.' We had been there for hours, and I appreciated them taking care of me, but we were just sitting there having a discussion. We weren't even being loud."
Is it just me or should you just poor Elway another glass of wine, and just make sure to offer to call a cab or limo for the Hall of Famer when he's done? We aren't talking about Brittney Spears or Lindsay Lohan, it's freaking John Elway and your in Colorado. It would be like asking President Bush not to do cocaine while in the bathroom of a Texas Saloon.

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.
