6.30pm |
Arrive at Pro Player Stadium. Almost knock the tollbooths over as we leave the turnpike. Big oops! But the journey is now at an end! Anti-climax. |
|
|
|
Dazed and confused at Pro Player |
|
|
7pm |
Tailgating is not bad. Oddly we meet plenty of Broncos fans, which are unfamiliar with #48, ex-Claymore great George Coghill. We give them glowing reviews of George and tell them to watch him during the game. Ooops. |
|
|
8.20pm |
Kickoff. |
|
|
|
A sell-out. What's that? |
|
|
10pm |
In the third quarter, George can't make a play on a ball and Miami score a 56 yard TD. It ends up turning the game around, as John Elway turns into "Mr Ed" again with another dismal performance. |
|
|
|
Pissed off at Pro Player |
|
|
12pm |
Miami 31 Denver 21. Despite George's screw up we catch up with him after the game and give him the traditional "cheddaring". People seem bemused by this, but George is a good sport and will always be fondly remembered as one the greatest Claymores. We were unable to cheddar Mr. John Elway, due to heavy security. However as we can exclusively reveal he may benefit from it as he is going somewhat bald. |
|
|
|
Spot the George! Clue - he's on the left of the banner.
Cheddared!
Bald!
Even the great Don Shula can't escape! |
|
|
2am |
Slump into an Irish bar on Miami Beach totally and utterly 300% exhausted. Only a wee bit of beach action tomorrow can save us now. But another Triple-Header has been completed! |

Shuggie dies in Miami
The epitaph reads "Drove 1200 miles in 48 hours". |
