Holy smokes, it’s week eight and Al Davis hasn’t fired his coach yet. He must be losing his grip; or maybe he’s just scared of being socked in the jaw. Don’t worry, Al, your coach swears that he doesn’t swing with his fist. It’s just a slap. And if he hasn’t slapped JaMarcus yet then he’s not likely to take a slap at you. Although rumor has it that he’s fixing to slap JaMarcus the next time the big galoot gets sacked.
And say, what about those Niners? Wasn’t it terrific the way they almost beat Indy? Wasn’t it terrific the way Clements almost made it through the first half without breaking anything? Wasn’t it terrific that Spencer almost stayed on Reggie Wayne before Wayne scored that winning touchdown? These guys have a bright future in them, most of them are still young, and Singletary is whipping them into shape with tough love. Every player got a pink cupcake in his locker from Singletary on Halloween, but since they had lost the previous week’s game the cupcake had no icing. No sprinkles. They’ll get the sprinkles if they can win one for the gipper.
It’s rough being a football fan in the Bay Area these days.
Just saying.
