...Super Bowl press box, a writer let out a small whoop as the Raiders blocked a Redskin punt in 1984. "I'm sorry, that was really unprofessional," he said sheepishly. "But I've got $2,000 on the Raiders." Win or lose, does the two grand get into the story, affect the quality of the praise, increase the vitriol in the criticism? What...
