Body talk Elway says health will play important role in retirement decision Apr 7, 1999 2:02 p.m. ET Associated Press DENVER � Having missed four games with various injuries last year, John Elway's health is playing a big factor as he tries to decide whether to retire or return for a 17th NFL season with the Denver Broncos. "The bottom line is whether I can do it physically or not," Elway said Tuesday while attending a news conference for golf's Celebrity Players Tour.
