Flying at halftime; the concealed morbid fear of heights
texture · 1 Nov YDAU, Denver
- When: 1 November YDAU, Mile-High Stadium, Denver CO (Cardinals-Broncos)
- What: During a halftime promotional stunt Orin is strapped into fake red wings and made to glide off the stadium rim, hating it ("I punt! I'm paid to punt long, high, well, and always!"), whispering "Please Lord, spare the Leg" before each touchdown. He has "told no Cardinal, not even the team's counselor and visualization-therapist, about his morbid fear of heights and high-altitude descent" — one of the three fears (heights, early morning, roaches) that structure his psyche.
