Remember that piece of shit band a few years ago, “Gnarls Barkley?” They had a hit or two and got some laughs for their unique moniker.
And now there’s a small-time punk band named “Elway” that’s raising a stink with the former Bronco QB. To you, John, I say, “Loosen up! Have fun with it!"
After all, many bands have used athletes and teams in their names and many of them have scored solid hit records. Here's a sample:
