John Elway's son gets probation in domestic violence case

[El Supremo]

Jack Elway, the son of Broncos executive vice president of football operations and general manager John Elway, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation in the domestic violence case against him.

John Elway III, 24, was charged with disturbing the peace and assault in what police described as a violent fight with his girlfriend in May. Elway ripped out pieces of the woman's hair when he pulled her out of his car and pushed her to the ground, according to a probable cause statement.

His appearance in court on Tuesday was not posted on the court docket on Monday.

This is the second time the judge in this case has allowed Elway and his attorney, Harvey Steinberg, to appear outside of a scheduled hearing. In June, Denver County Judge Johnny Barajas allowed Elway to enter his original plea of not guilty the day before his scheduled arraignment in June.

I'm only linking this because it is yet another football related domestic violence act and I really dislike John Elway.

1. One wonders if, like Adrian Peterson, the younger Elway was abused

as a child.

3. and do you want to bet that

his probation will be deemed to start on the day of the incident, not the day of the arrest or the day of the verdict. looks to me like he has to pretend to be civil for about six more months.

2. But of course he did...

Daddy John is very well connected in RETHUGLICAN circles.

The judge may be a good guy for all I know, but he has a bit of history of his own:
