Monday Morning Quarterbacking

It's the Big Game, folks, the one for all the money.  Even more than that, it's the game for survival. 

Ford's earned a 'by', this round, but GM and Chrysler are on the field.  Unfortunately for both it's not a modern field, rather a muddy throwback to the 'golden' age, and the players are caked in the stuff.  And beneath that muck the players are tired and scared.  

GM's quarterback has been kicked off the team by the new coach and Chrysler has been told to merge with another team or else lose its franchise.  The fans in the stands are dwindling. Those that are left are without hot dogs, beer, or even souvenir programs. 

The Cheerleaders have long since left the sidelines.

We are still in the 4th quarter though, and the fat lady has only just started to warm up with a warble or two, backstage.  There's time for a patented Elway two-minute miracle, a drive to victory against all odds. There's time, but barely.

Whatever the outcome of this contest, it may be time to think about starting some new franchises, maybe a whole new league ...
