Having left the toboggan slide in Times Square and crossed the river - (via tunnel - avoid the BRIDGE) only to find a landslide awaiting. When the first play from scrimmage results in a safety, that is not a good omen. The highlight for me was Joe Namath's fur coat and when he screwed up the coin toss it set the tone for what followed. As we had a house guest we opted for conversation and muted all the clever commercials so will await Madison Avenue's post mortem to tell me what I missed. But the league hates a blowout because the sponsors hate a blowout after paying a few million for thirty seconds in the fourth quarter when their TV audience has drifted into the poolroom. Nothing like a sponsor scorned.
Now it's on to Sochi!
