NFL observations

* The spiked Kool Aid that usually follows a Broncos win isn't quite as apparent this week. Yes, Denver beat Oakland. No, Oakland isn't going to make anyone sit up and take notice, unless you like watching bad teams self-implode.
Which brings us to the next point of order:
* There are two games on this week's schedule that deserve to be watched by diehard fans of the teams and no one else -- the essence of what the TV networks call "regional coverage." Oakland and Kansas City is one (boy, that should be a beaut). And Miami at Arizona is the other.
For those in office pools and in fantasy football leagues, you have my sympathies.

I also like the intrigue of the Miami/Arizona match up. Especially with the storyline Shaquille O'Neal facing the team he unceremoniously left ... what, oh, hang on.
