The conversation turns from football players to football fans as Michael Conniff writes, “Because Elway’s team won not once but twice, back-to-back, the typical Broncos fan EXPECTS a Super Bowl every year and kvetches when it inevitably doesn’t happen. I find that obnoxious beyond belief.” Kit O’Carra responds, “The years I lived in SoCal I tried to get to every game the Broncos played there, whether it was at the Coliseum with the Raiders (before they moved back to Oakland) or to San Diego. This was back in the 80′s, when most people assumed the nastiest fans belonged to the Raiders and we were risking life and limb attending a game decked out in orange and blue. Not so….by far, the most obnoxious and nastiest fans were in San Diego.”
