So in football news, which I have been following with a gaze not unlike that of an eagle, apparently the 49ers head coach has been fired. Sacked, if you will. Which faithful football viewers like me know means when a quarterback gets tackled before he throws the ball.
Mike Nolan is now unemployed, and has been replaced by Mike Singleterry. So now we have two Bay Area NFL coaches out of work. Now I truly know that our current recession has taken its toll.
What are Mike Nolan and Lane Kiffin doing now? How do they spend their days? Do they still watch football? Is it too painful? These are all things that I want to know.
In actual football watching news, I saw the Raiders beat someone else (the Giants? Maybe the Steelers?) in overtime with a crazy-long field goal kick by that Eastern European fellow. I think this, given today’s political climate, is a sure sign for the upcoming rise of Communism.
I’m sure other things have happened. Don’t worry, I’m on it.
