Game of the Week
Giff Broncos (3-2) vs. Bengal Chiefs (4-1)
Sears Wish Book Item of the Week
Halftime Report of the Week
Only one goddamn highlight (of the game most people were watching anyway) but they make up for it with the classic Irv Cross silly voiceover segment.

I don't mind. The view is just about the same, including a twisting path and the Hollywood Hills/view of downtown, because the two are about a mile apart. I thought the Swamp thread was the clincher.
