COMMENTARY
ORLANDO, Fla. — Great expectations, when achieved, beget indelible memories, catchy slogans and commemorative T-shirts. Those same expectations, however, become daggers when left unfulfilled.
Witness the redness in the eyes of David Sills. Across three mostly splendid seasons he piled up 35 touchdown catches but zero championships. You sensed beyond a doubt he would’ve swapped a batch of those end-zone celebrations for a mere whiff of the other.
Witness the impatient finger-tapping of coach Dana Holgorsen during Friday’s postgame press conference. He waived the customary 10-minute cooling-off period so that his team could hasten its escape from another Orlando loss.
