During an off-camera interview Wednesday afternoon, Gloria Estefan revealed her pick for this year's Super Bowl winner. Her choice, however, was somewhat puzzling at best and horribly offensive at worst. Ms. Estefan was quoted saying, "I will stand behind my little salchicha, John Elway. He may be number seven on the field but he will always be number one in my heart."
Apparently, she was not aware that Elway retired in 1999 after his last Super Bowl victory. Neither did she know that his number has now been retired from all of professional football, as well. It is currently a Category III infraction in the National Football League (NFL) to wear a jersey with the number seven (7).
In fact, even after meeting with the majority of team owners/managers in the League to discuss various deals, Elway has remained in retirement until this day. Good thing, too, because at this rate he would probably be as brain damaged as Peyton and Eli Manning combined. Thank God he also has not yet turned out like Tim Tebow, playing for the Broncos (again). Just so you know, Mr. Elway, it is such an incredible opportunity just to be writing about you and your biggest fan, Gloria, in the same piece.
