I went up to Fort Collins this past Sunday with pizza and beer to spend the evening with my sister Susan and brother-in-law George. However, I had forgotten - or simply just didn't realize - that the Denver Broncos of the National Football League were playing their division rivals, the Oakland Raiders, and like in virtually every other household in Colorado, the evening revolved around the game. And it was ugly - the Raiders dominated the contest and won 30 to 20. Which meant the entire city of Denver was in an all day funk Monday. Football is serious business here. It is covered by the media year round, and even if nuclear war broke out, that story would always be second to that day's Bronco story. Is there a cure for this mass hysteria? I have lived in Denver for 35 years, and the answer is sadly no. Perhaps if Doctor Phil were consulted?
