    Ever since John Elway's retirement, the Broncos have not had a stellar season.
    He was fired as Raiders coach after 4 games into the 1989 season.
    He participates in extreme sports, such as cliff diving and bungee jumping.
    He supposedly went behind Dan Reeves's back and created his own plays as a Broncos Quarterback coach and was fired for his trouble.
    Jim Rome refers to him as 'The Rat.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He survived a life threatening kidney injury by having the damaged kidney removed.
    He won two straight Super Bowls with the Broncos, a team known for coming close but never winning the Super Bowl.
    He is known as a 'Player's Coach' and does not feel the need to bark at his players.
    He worked as an assistant at Oklahoma and won a national championship there.
    He got back at Dan Reeves by winning the second of his two Super Bowls against his Falcons.
