The reactions have been, for lack of a better term, animated. “I always wanted to show off my tap skills,” wide receiver Courtland Sutton was overheard saying ‘Maybe it’s time to trade my cleats for tap shoes during timeouts.” Meanwhile, Von Miller, no stranger to the dance floor, was seen practicing a soft shoe shuttle. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, on the other hand, looked perplexed. “Is this some sort of ploy to get us on ‘Dancing with the Stars?” This unique stance taken by Elway hasn’t gone unnoticed by other teams. Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid commented, “Elway’s always been a maverick. But I wasn’t expecting… tap dancing. What’s next? Interpretive ballet during water breaks?”
Even Bill Belichick, the often reserved coach of the New England Patriots, couldn’t resist a smirk. “Our playbook’s complicated enough without adding dance routines.” Denver’s diehard fans are, predictably, torn. “I’ve got my grandmother’s old tap shoes! Maybe I’ll bring them to the next game,” remarked one enthusiastic supporter. Another countered, “Football’s about touchdowns, not tap downs!”
