However, the officiating on Monday's Denver/ S.F. game was a complete and utter travesty. There will always be the occasional bad call, but the inconsistent rulings of the officials in that game were positively vile. I will forgive the questionable (to put it kindly) pass interference call on a crucial third down play in the Broncos' last scoring drive, but the missed call of interference against Denver in the End Zone disgusted me. Without its fine, classy fan that threw the snowball at Matt Cavanaugh in the second quarter, the Broncos would be 6-4 at this point. It's beyond me that the officials did not call an unsportsmanlike against the crowd at that point. According the rules, that is within their power. More angry than most, Gary Huckabay. !ucbvax!ucdavis!deneb!ccs007 "Frankly, I don't care if you decide I'm vermin. I was a rhubarb before you were even a thought."
