The contract impasse between the Broncos and linebacker Von Miller recently spread to social media, with Miller cropping Broncos G.M. John Elway out of a photo taken at the team’s visit to the White House. Elway has responded to the gesture, at the urging of someone carrying a camera on behalf of TMZ as Elway emerged from Craig’s in Los Angeles.
Congratulated initially by the cameraman on Elway’s “refreshingly candid and open media policy award,” Elway pointed and said, “Good for you, bud.”
Then asked while getting to a vehicle about Miller’s social-media diss, Elway said, “You know, that’s too bad.”
Mike Klis of 9news.com, in perhaps a roundabout way of suggesting that Elway was afflicted by a case of Affleckenza, said via Twitter that there’s “Nothing wrong with NFLGMs blowing off steam in summer but come on John u know cameras roll in LA.”
Far more important than any camera rolling is the clock that’s ticking toward 4:00 p.m. ET on July 15, the deadline for the Broncos and Miller to do a long-term deal.
