NFL: Super Bowl
27.01.10
They reached numerous Super Bowls, but back then the NFC teams seemed to have the defensive edge and stifled the more flamboyant Elway.
Two Elway moments stick in the memory. One was during their 42-10 thrashing by the Washington Redskins back in Super Bowl XXII. Elway came right out at the start of the game and threw a mammoth touchdown pass to Ricky Nattiel to put the Broncos into an early lead and send me dancing around the living room. They raced into a 10-0 lead. Unfortunately the 'Skins, led by an inspired Doug Williams and running back Timmy Smith, scored 42 unanswered points to win it.
But the one moment that I'll never forget is one that has gone down in NFL history. Known simply as "The Drive" it came in the final moments of the AFC Championship game in the same year (1987). Trailing to the Cleveland Browns in an epic encounter and stuck on their own two-yard line, Elway managed to lead his side all the way down the field in 15 consecutive plays, culminating in a touchdown pass to wide receiver Mark Jackson to tie the game with just 39 seconds of the game remaining. The Broncos went on to score a championship-winning field goal in overtime. It was one of the most gripping pieces of sport I've seen.

South African Policeman Lives Out Stephen King Story
02.02.10
, However macabre, was however a lot more intelligent than this policeman’s methods.
When the mother arrived she found her husband asleep, the naked remains of an unidentified woman directly beneath him. The Sergeant then woke up angry (like Jack Nicholson maybe?), and demanded his wife bring him a box of matches? The wife, obviously mortified, ran to the neighbors who were also police officers, for help. When they arrived, he had partially clothed the body and moved it to the living room (on the way to the refridgerator?).
The apparent perpetrator was placed under arrest when other officers arrived. A post mortem is being performed, but no news as to the cause of death has been released. The Phuthaditjhaba Magistrate’s Court is supposed to arraign the officer on Wednesday.
More questions abound than answers for this one. Was he so tired after his dirty deeds he had to sleep? Was he stuuuupid? Anyone knows the best place to hide a naked dead woman is in the freezer or in the basement? Was he keeping the body for a reason? If Stephen King had written this one? Well, for one thing the antagonist would have been much more devious on the one hand, or powerful on the other.
