Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan felt pretty good about himself after directing his offense to go for a 2-point conversion in the last minute of a Week Two game against San Diego. The play was successful, the Broncos won by a point and the risk-intolerant culture of NFL coaching looked foolish once again. Shanahan is 3-9 as a head coach at Arrowhead Stadium; alas, the 2008 Chiefs seem unlikely to pose the challenge that he has confronted in previous encounters. Today's game begins at noon. Tickets start at $41 and get ridiculous from there.
