...Dallas, Tarkenton connected on 16 out of 24 passes for 187 yds. and two touchdowns. Four of those completions went to Jones-and one was the biggest play of the game. With the score tied 14-14, the alert quarterback picked up hints of a blitz by Dallas linebackers; he changed his play call with an "audible" at the line of scrimmage and hit Homer with a soft, quick toss over the middle that went for 60 yds. and a score.

When you get a ticket, you shrink your ego: to minimize the penalty you go humble and let the cop score his subconscious anthropological victory by asserting himself over you. On an emotional level, you feel tiny. This is the night someone telephones to ask you to be editor of the Saturday Review.
