00:00John Elway, le most gifted quarterback,
00:02never played in the National Football League.
00:05I can still remember feeling that responsibility.
00:08He can do it all.
00:09And the expectation.
00:10This is his third loss in the Super Bowl.
00:12I had to sacrifice everything
00:16to be the best.
00:18Everything changed for Colorado in 1983.
00:21Been the most spoken about name in American sport.
00:23John Elway.
00:24John Elway.
00:24John Elway.
00:25First time I saw him practice, I'm going,
00:27man, this guy's free.
00:28He is going to be one of the greats of all time, I think.
00:31He got the nickname the Duke of Denver.
00:33The Duke of Denver.
00:33Duke of Denver.
00:34He's got the ball, touchdown.
00:36He was shy, sweet.
00:38He's not neat and pigeon-toed.
00:40And all of a sudden, I'm dating this superstar.
00:43His first year.
00:46I'd never seen anybody get beat around like he did.
00:51Everyone was expecting John Elway was going to take us
00:53to the top right away.
00:54With Dan's offense, it was different than I was used to.
00:57Bam, bam.
00:58My head was spinning.
01:00Was he overblown by the media?
01:02Part of the growing pains of coming into the NFL.
01:04People have no idea how hard this guy worked
01:06to be who he was.
01:10For me, looking over the last 50 years,
01:13my whole life, you know, winning was the most important thing.
01:18I think that was at the sacrifice to my family.
01:20Depending on whether he won or lost,
01:22there was definitely a mood shift.
01:24I used to be pretty intimidated with him.
01:26This comes with the territory.
01:28My parents' marriage was crumbling.
01:29He really started to pick up on the gravity of the situation.
02:01You got death threats?
02:03And my dad always said,
02:05you can't take the easy way out.
02:07So this was the moment.
02:10Come on, Elway.
02:12Let's go.
02:16Let's see.
02:25Let's see.
02:27Let's go.
02:31We got to go.
02:31TheASE
