Bah Humbug!

My least favorite NFL teams are the Patriots and the Falcons. I Cyan't stand 'em. OK, the Cowboys are on there, too, but it is the aforementioned teams that are responsible for my grumbling about football this weekend.

What a terrible year for the Bay Area in football, and I suspect that the next season will be just as bad.

Maybe if we are lucky, someone will buy the 49ers and move them to San Jose, so I can root against them with a clear conscience. Even when fronted by that weasel Young, they were still the San Francisco team, and I felt slightly guilty in wanting to see them lose. Now that the team has sunk to its former depths, could it please just go away?

The Raiders, on the other hand, I still like. Maybe I will write in Al Davis for mayor of Oakland. That way he can sign sweetheart deals with himself and skip the middlemen. It is sad to see idiots like Ignatz de la Fuente get completely taken the way they were. With Davis guarding the henhouse, I don't think the city coffers would be in the slightest bit more danger than posting de la Fuente in the role of guardian.

Meanwhile I'll stick to baseball, while we still have a team.
