Monday Mourning

This is Bferg's "lucky Broncos shirt."  It is close to a decade old, rarely gets washed (except for the occasional spill of queso, chili or wing sauce) and gets worn every Broncos game.  Every game.  Bferg is passionate and loyal (two reasons I fell in love with him) and when the Broncos lose then his week is ruined.  He falls into a Bronco-induced depression.  A depression so deep that it lasts only until he reads the Denver based papers that can always find a glimmer of hope and give reassurance that next week will be different.

The Broncos lost yesterday.  24-17 against Jacksonville.  Bferg rushed home from church, donned the "lucky shirt" and quickly paused the DVR (even though it was recording) so that he wouldn't miss a minute of the action.  Statistically, the Broncos out played Jacksonville in every area except for special teams.  The Broncos turned out to be their own worst enemies...fumbling in the red zone and dumb penalties resulting in major yards given to Jacksonville.  In the end, the Broncos lost and  Bferg was depressed.  But, loyal (remember his two endearing qualities) so next week the same passion and exuberance will be given to his team!

But, I think while he's not looking I will wash the shirt.  Maybe that will help change the luck of it all...a clean slate!
