Flush it

Was there a football game yesterday? You would never know it by looking at today's Denver Post. Nothing on page one, two, three. There, finally, on page 15A is a brief editorial. The Post's editors admit feeling utter dejection. They even admit that football is our secular religion with its own holiday, the Superbowl.

Will the fans wear orange and blue today? Not as many. People will discover they have other items in their closets that they have not worn all winter.

Coverage must be on the Sports pages, right? Nope, not there. finally, at the very back, there is the Superbowl edition. Sportswriter Mark Kizla predicts that the sun will be embarrassed to show its face in Colorado today.

Wrong! It is another beautiful morning with bright sun and baby blue sky. The football gods do not have anything to do with Colorado's gorgeous weather.

Witty Woody Paige, as usual, gets it right:

This one's for the john. The team with "the most prolific offense in history was the most offensive in Superbowl history.

Seahawks defeat Broncos.

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on their overwhelming victory tonight.

Broncos blue

Here we are on Superbowl Sunday in Broncosland. It is an absolutely glorious day. We have had several days of snow, but we are getting a one day reprieve. The sun is shining brighter than I have ever seen it. The trees and fields are covered in snow, and it's not going to melt any time soon, as the forecast is for a really cold week ahead. When forecasters say "clear," here, they mean clear! The sky is Broncos blue everywhere you look. No clouds to obstruct the blueness. Go Broncos! Oh, and you folks in Seattle have a nice day, too!
