No amount of your Mile High Wordsmithing Mind Games will change the facts. Again, you know this...
This topic is a perfect example of why you're here in the first place. In the heat of overwhelming evidence to support an issue - you choose (because it fulfills a need that you have) the other side. It really shows your ignorance on this particular subject.

Not really.. it's the game you guys choose to play. Focusing on the merits of the injustice you believe in... and not so much on the gain you are receiving from some other aspect of the scheduling.
That's fine though, I'm not here to change minds - just confront them with a different opinion and another set of facts.
You guys are of the opinion that Denver having 2/3 or 2/4 home games in September is many more times advantageous than having the final 2/3 or 2/4 home games in December.
We just disagree and that's fine. I believe it's how you finish that matters, not how you start. Mediocre teams aren't winning more games in the final weeks because they were propped up with a softer schedule early, that just doesn't make sense.
Good teams win, no matter what and at the end of the season - the proof is in the finish ... everyone else grabs aluminum foil.
I'll let you search for the medical papers that speak to the pros/cons of athletic competition at high altitudes in the heat vs cold.
