Will he float down through the clouds to mid-field for the coin toss.I moved to Denver from Massachusetts about 5 years ago. Beautiful country, but the most ignorant and fair-weather fans I've ever met! Trying to have a civil football conversation always leads to how great Elway was ... sad that they may actually believe he is coming back to play again!
Denver didn't violate the salary cap. Pat Bowlen deferred payments to John Elway and Terrell Davis in order to put money down for the building of Invesco Field at Mile High. The NFL said the Broncos gained no competitive advantage.

He is a Denver Bronco hater, the worst kind. No make that the 2nd worst kind behind only the Steelers.
It's pretty much your glass houses thing, Fever. That's pretty much it.
It gets him attention, something he desperately needs.He can't tell you what his point is as he clearly does not have one, all he does is spew garbage, check out his posts.
Typical hater.
It's one thing to register at another fan forum to talk football, it's quite another to do nothing other than throw cheap shots and be a ballbreaker 24/7 with moronic posts/comments etc which are done for no other reason that to stir the pot.
Lame, pathetic, sad..............
No, we don't. Who give a crap about him?More...we need the big picture from you. This comment, such as it is, gives us nothing. It says nothing for you, nothing about you.
We need more.
Its hard to believe the Newspaper that brought us Woody Paige could sink this low.*

Making deferred payments = Violating the salary cap.
(I.e., We can't pay you all the money you want this year b/c of the SALARY CAP, but we will be able to make future payments to you that will equal the present value of the amount you wanted this year).
These were side agreements that were not disclosed in the contracts submitted to the league. Why not? B/c they violated the SALARY CAP.
Whatever their motivation to do it (cash flow, etc.), it clearly gave them a distinct advantage vis a vis the salary cap by allowing them to keep their two stars - Elway and Davis - at deflated salary cap numbers while secretly paying them well in excess of those numbers. Do you not see this?
While I think that you have a valid case against any nefarious activity, Denver did still violate a league rule, just like NE.
And, just like Denver, the league stated that NE gained no competetive advantage from the filming.
If you are OK with one, you must be OK with the other and vice versa.
That's what you don't understand, the money owed to Elway and Davis in 1998 was reported to the league and counted against the cap. Bowlen asked Elway and Davis to defer the bonuses owed to them in order to pay the salaries of the administrative staff and up front costs of Invesco.
Understandably, the league has a problem with this type of accounting, as it could lead to problems, and the last thing they want is to see a team start running their rosters in the red. The NFL ruled the Broncos didn't receive a competitive advantage from the move, but did break the rules that they put in place to keep solvency on the balance books. They don't want to see a small market team deferring payments and then one year have to declare bankruptcy because their revenue isn't covering what they owe.
