That could explain why the 49ers stink this year.

They should have designated Shaun Hill the starting QB a lot sooner, eh..?

Mike Nolan has proven that he doesn't know sh** about QB's. I think this will be Nolan's final season in SF.

As long as he takes Alex Smith with him...

Won't happen. If even they were to release Smith right now his baseline salary would still count against the salary cap.

“Great athlete, nice guy, but just an awful name.”

If I met someone with the same name I might pronounce it as Fah-vruh. The end sound is very soft and almost imperceptible like the word pauvre (poor) is pronounced poh-vruh. I suppose his family, I can’t imagine how far back, opted for pronouncing it as if it were “Farve”.

Go Bears!

Personally thank them for me. They just gave Dallas home field advantage.

That would be a great start.

I miss Eddie D. The organization misses Eddie D.

No! LOL! He’s just given me lots of FOOTBALL thrills.

Except for today. Today, we’re getting a DIVORCE!

Man, oh, man did they stink up Soldier Field today! Fire #9. Now. I mean it. What a painful game to watch!

I think there’s one in every major city across the land, LOL!

We like our beer, we love our Packers and we love to travel. :)

You just haven’t been hit with the typo virus lol. (besides, I needed the laugh after the Browns’ awful performance today against the pathetic Bungles)

It was ugly. I freely admit it. What to blame? The 50 MPH wind? The frozen footballs? Favre’s two interceptions? Or the FIVE totally BONEHEADED mistakes by No. 9?

I choose the later, if I have a choice in the matter. ;)

But, playing Dallas will be fun. And oh, so much warmer than playing at Soldier Field. :)

It was so cold at Soldier Field the flashers are showing pictures of themselves.

Guys I live in the Chicago suburbs. My trash cans are flying it is seriously windy outside.

Kyle Freaking Orton beat the Packers today. Although he had very little to do with it.

I love the Bears but Brett Favre is my 2nd favorite athlete who doesn’t play for any of my teams (Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks and Bulls).

And I was bashed this last offseason for saying I hope that if we know this game was going to be Brett’s last game in Soldier Field I hope Bear fans salute him as he walks off the field.

They did it in Green Bay for Payton’s last game.

To show you how bad the Bears have been at QB during Brett’s time in Green Bay. Grossman is the best one we’ve had in 15 years.

And the morons are running him out of town. Ironically there’s a hot rumor Green Bay might sign him to backup Favre for 2008 and take over in 09.
