Elway driving toward the altar this weekend

DENVER - John Elway is going deep Saturday. The ultimate Home Game. The final Hail Mary.

No. 7 is slated to marry former Raiderette cheerleader Paige Green at his lakeside digs in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

This is Elway's second drive to the altar. (He was married for 18 years to Janet Elway and they had four children before divorcing in 2003.)

Elway, 49, met Green, 42, at a golf tourney in LA in 2005. But he didn't make his move until he saw her again in an info-mercial and tracked her down. She moved to Denver in 2007.

As reported last fall by colleague Penny Parker, Elway popped the question in Venice, Italy last September.

Elway did not return calls from the Denver Post.

A group of friends are flying to Idaho for the nups, including close pal Craig Andrisen, business partner Tim Schmidt, sportswriter Rick Reilly and their wives. With lotsa family coming, about 50-60 people are expected at the wedding.
