the closest to a shut out was miami’s perfect season. when garo threw the ball after a blocked field goal with 2:07 left in the game, washington ran that back for a touchdown. at least seattle didn’t do that, as denver gets on the board finally. ---

We can start talking about who should win MVP. They love to give it to offensive players, but this one should really, really go to a defensive player. I like Chancellor, or maybe Cliff Avril. ---

Eight points here, eight points there, eventually you have yourself a four-point loss instead of a thirty-point blowout. I guess. ---

Don’t tell me about the game!!! I’m taping it and will start it in about 15 minutes. It’s 6:25 on the west coast, so the game is probably almost over. * * * ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > The good news: Denver has not yet matched its historic collapse in SB XXIV. The bad news: There is more than a quarter left to play. They’re getting there. San Francisco was up 41-10 after 3, and won 55-10. My first real job, I had moved to California in Fall of 1989. Watched that in a bar with some other new hires. Best part was, one was from Colorado. 🆒 ---

On the plus side, my decision to save myself about $2,000 and not get a ticket to go down to New Jersey is seeming better and better all the time.
