Elroy: I'm not running for governor'

[El Supremo]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – The expanding list of Republicans hoping to run for Governor of Colorado in 2018 won’t have to worry about going up against John Elway in a primary.

Elway, a Republican, threw cold water on speculation that he was considering a run for office.

“My intentions are to continue to run the Denver Broncos football operations,’’ Elway said in an interview Monday with 9News. “They can run. I’m not running for Governor. For some reason these things continue to come up.‘’

Current Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-Colorado) is term-limited, which is attracting a wide swath of potential candidates from both parties hoping to snatch the open job in 2018.

Speculation that Elway might want to run for Governor may have been ignited this time by his decision to appear in a political ad about two statewide ballot questions....

2. And everyone in Colorado breathes a YUGE! sigh of relief.

Except Trey and Matt from South Park, who are cursing the missed comedic opportunities.
