I enjoyed the Broncos victory far more than our game yesterday. It's never relaxing until the final unbeaten has fallen.
The Colts win over Denver was easily the game of the year. I watched it again last night. Otherwise I would be terrified of this Broncos' teams chances at 19-0. They might lose once or twice more but nothing is guaranteed, considering how many points they put up.
In Miami during the early '70s we had channels 2, 4, 6, 7, 10 and quite a few UHF channels. Channels 5 and 12 from West Palm Beach could be picked up, albeit with some snow. It was hardly a lack of information or entertainment. The sitcoms were far superior for one thing, with all the best writers and actors concentrated on the major networks. We also had two major dailies in the Herald and News, with excellent columnists and sections much thicker than today.
Things have changed but not to the degree of conventional wisdom. Besides, at that point we had the most terrifying venue in the league for an opposing team, and front office people who knew what they were doing.
