A verb with too alternate and opposite meanings, both referring to NFL hall of famer and all-time great, quarterback John Elway.
1. to lead a successful comeback in a dire situation
-Referring to John Elway's successful comeback in the 1987
AFC Championship game against the Cleveland Browns where he led an infamous 98 yard drive to win the game
2. to "
choke" or fail horribly in a pressure filled situation
-Referring to John Elway's equally infamous failures to win three Super Bowls in the 1986, 1987, and 1989 seasons
Note: Such a
definition may not be entirely proper considering Elway won two Super Bowls in the '97 and '98 seasons thus disproving his tendency to "
choke"

John Elway'd
