This one�s for John!
Congratulations!
Yesterday, I bore witness to the greatest quarterback in history being inducted into the NFL Football Hall of Fame, John Elway. It was aparent from a quick scan of the crowd, who the eighteen-thousand plus people were there to see. In his illustrious 16 year career, Elway set the record for most 4th quarter and Over-Time game winning or game saving drives. He is the only player in National Football League history to pass for more than 3,000 yards and rush for more than 200 yards in the same season seven consecutive times. He was only the second quarterback in NFL history to record more than 40,000 yards passing and 3,000 yards rushing during his career. He ranks second all-time in three of the game�s most significant passing categories, passing yards (51,475), attempts (7,250), and completions (4,123). Elway was responsible for 334 touchdowns (300 passing; 33 rushing and one receiving) generating 4,771 of the 5,806 points (82.2%) scored by the Broncos during his 16-year tenure with the club. Selected to play in nine Pro Bowl games, Elway was a first- or second-team All-Pro choice three times and a first- or second-team All-AFC choice five times. In addition to his all-league honors, he was named the NFL�s Most Valuable Player in 1987, AFC Offensive Player of the Year in 1993, and Super Bowl XXXIII Most Valuable Player. He led his team to more Superbowls than any other QB. Sunday, he became the first Denver Bronco inducted in the Hall of Fame and the first member to be introduced by his daughter.
I am a HUGE Bronco fan, and even more so an Elway fan. Someday I will tell you the story of how I came to see, in person, Elway play and win his final game, Superbowl XXXIII.

Question #14.
Besides Denver Bronco great John Elway, three other players were inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. Of these three players, one�s career ended in a particularly controversial fashion. This player also grew up in a town in the Midwest. What famous lesbian was also from this town?
Have fun,
