Now Playing: Jesse Cook-Vertigo
A wonderful blast from the past this last Monday night. Monday Night Football on the television, the Bronco's out there against the hated enemy-those evil soulless Raiders, and a satisfying wire to wire massacre of the Silver and Black. Ah yes, it doesn't get much better than that. Dazed looking Raiders yelling at each other as they were pummeled into submission under the derisive catcalls from the Bronco faithful. Jake the Snake looked like Elway there, running and throwing on the run, completing passes for long gains and touchdowns, running for long gains and touchdowns. A beautiful thing all in all.
In the vast scheme of things of course, one little game played by a bunch of men in a stadium at night in Denver isn't going to chance the world, it's not going to contribute to world peace or end world hunger but it made me happy for a couple of days. A meaningless battle that is given meaning by fans and those who care. A battle where nobody is really hurt, and a battle where lives and property aren't exchanged. Just a game.
