Perhaps the most notable example of this was when the San Francisco 49ers, who had clinched a playoff berth, lost their regular-season finale in 1988 to the Los Angeles Rams, thereby keeping the New York Giants ( who had defeated the 49ers in the playoffs in both 1985 and 1986, also injuring 49er quarterback Joe Montana in the latter year's game ) from qualifying for the postseason ; after the game, Giants quarterback Phil Simms angrily accused the 49ers of " laying down like dogs.

William Gilmore Simms, sturdy realist that he was, pleaded for a natural robustness such as he found in his favorites the great Elizabethans, to vivify the pale writings being produced around him.

Simms admired the raucous tales emanating from the backwoods, but he had himself social affiliations which would not allow him to approve them fully.

This was the hut of Simms Purdew, the hero.

Once covertly looking at Simms Purdew, the only man in the world whom he hated, he had seen the heavy, slack, bestubbled jaw open and close to emit the cruel, obscene banter, and had seen the pale-blue eyes go watery with whisky and merriment, and suddenly he was not seeing the face of that vile creature.

He was seeing, somehow, the face of a young boy, the boy Simms Purdew must once have been, a boy with sorrel hair, and blue eyes dancing with gaiety, and the boy mouth grinning trustfully among the freckles.

He thought that if once, only once, he could talk with Simms Purdew, something about his own life, and all life, would be clear and simple.

If Simms Purdew would turn to him and say: `` Adam, you know when I was a boy, it was a funny thing happened.

If only Simms Purdew could do that, whatever the thing he remembered and told.

Now, Adam, in the gray light of afternoon, stared across at the hut opposite his tent, and thought of Simms Purdew lying in there in the gloom, snoring on his bunk, with the fumes of whisky choking the air.

It was Pullen James, the campmate of Simms Purdew.

Adam stared at the door and remembered that Simms Purdew had been awarded the Medal of Honor for gallantry at Antietam.

He thought of Simms Purdew snoring on his bunk while Pullen James crouched by the hearth, skirmishing an undershirt for lice, and a wet log sizzled.

He thought of Simms Purdew, who once had risen at the edge of a cornfield, a maniacal scream on his lips, and swung a clubbed musket like a flail to beat down the swirl of Rebel bayonets about him.

He thought of Simms Purdew rising up, fearless in glory.
