Movie-Real life analogy

Anyway, Donald Sutherland plays an army general who treats a colonel just horribly throughout the movie. At the end, the colonel gets to arrest Sutherland's character, whose response is to smile and say to the colonel "What a wonderful moment this must be for you." Playing the role of the colonel this week is Kyle Orton. Think about his season: starter in Denver, scourge of Denver, waived, picked up by Chiefs, hurt on first play, beats Packers to end unbeaten season, and now he can end the Broncos' magic carpet ride and exact revenge. I think Orton puts up a lot of points, but more importantly the Chiefs are a bad defensive matchup for Tebow. KC's defense is much better than you think -- after giving up 89 points the first two weeks of the season, they're now 15th in total defense. They've tightened up a ton, and at times this year they've looked dominant. They have a shutdown corner in Brandon Flowers, which helped frustrate Tebow into a two-completion game the last time they played. The Chiefs love playing for interim coach Romeo Crennel, who might be coaching for his job this weekend. I think this is the shocker of shockers, and the Chiefs win. I know, I've turned the page on Tebow in a week, but that's how it happens.

One story:
starter in Denver
scourge of Denver
waived
picked up by Chiefs
hurt on first play
beats Packers to end unbeaten season
and now he can end the Broncos' magic carpet ride and exact revenge.

is compressed into a sentence "What a wonderful moment this must be for you." Of course, "Playing the role of the colonel this week is Kyle Orton." is an explicit space connector/metaphor marker. I guess a question could come as to whether this is a metaphor or a pure analogy, but that's probably a trivial question.
