Also, to top it off, the Raiders, Chargers and specifically the Broncos are dumpster fires...
What a great run...

No way you'd have been committed to a mental institution. We lap up the snake oil every time we're told how great some player is going to be. We're addicted to hope and it was even worse back then. You would have been celebrated as the herald of glad tidings. If those rosy outcomes had failed to materialize though, then you would have been tarred and feathered.
