My friend Stuart and I walked around downtown Golden, Colorado this past Sunday afternoon, and afterwards went to the Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom to have pizza and beer and watch the end of the Denver Broncos football game, which they won over the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 23 to 20. It was a thrilling finish, and a surprise, since the Broncos had up to now only won 3 games this year and were playing with a rookie quarterback making his first start in the NFL. In fact, people have become so disillusioned with the team that there were 19,000 no-shows at Mile High Stadium Sunday afternoon, and considering what they charge for a ticket there, that is an amazing fact. And I must say, there were not all that many fans in the bar at Old Chicago watching the game, either. Talk about fickle. That is certainly not the case with Chicago White Sox baseball fans. They feel it is their duty as fellow south siders to sit in the stands, or watch the games on television, and suffer along with the team. Year after year. Now that is true dedication.
