The Blues Brothers happens to be one of my favorite movies. The scene in the beginning with the penguin beating Jake and Elwood with the yardstick, the door magically opening and closing, and her generally sinister countenance is pretty much what I was raised on as a Catholic. The New Age folkie, singy Christianity is all new to me, and I’ve pretty much given up on organized religion because of the institutional hypocracy. Thankfully my mom respected my decision when I was 14 to stop going to church. Didn’t keep me out of Catholic school however.
What does this have to do with football? I don’t know. Just that my favorite line in the movie is when Jake and Elwood are trying to track down the old band members. The landlady asks them: “Are you men with the Police?” And Elwood says: “No ma’am. We’re musicians. We’re on a mission from God.” All this talk of Tebow and religion just made me think of that movie.
Today’s game? Well, we are playing the Cardinals. Not the Bishops or the Popes. The Cardinals. Let’s hope we put the fear of God into ’em.
24-7 Niners.
Forty Niners Forever 
As far as Flav’s deal with these 2 quick games goes, this game will go like the Wash, and Cleve games. Get a lead, and run.
The Balt game? I guess I need to see this one to make that determination. Balt has lost to shitty teams and beaten good ones. A loss here might be good news for the Niners. Still and all, I think the Niners win this one going away. Harbaugh has been money in preparing these guys for games that he considers important. this is a division game. he’s ready.
God damn. The Raiders just gave Minnesota 60 yards on penalties on their opening drive.
The Raiders didn’t learn anything from facing Tebow. Or Minnesota did. Ponder is running bootlegs for big yards so far.
Although the Jets gave them a run for the money, Billick noted that few defenses will be as dumb as the Raiders were against Tebow.
Yeah, that’s what I loved about the Jet game. Ryan flaps his gums about Tebow, and when it comes to crunch time, he runs for 60 yards on the last drive.
Hue Jackson has shown me that he’s got some MAJOR gaps in his game in terms of getting the team ready to play. The penalties continue to mount and that’s not the league having it out for them they are committing the penalties and getting rightly called on them– at least the 2 and 1/2 games I’ve watched this year.
And to let shitty Tebow do that to their defense with that gimmicky college bullshit, and then to still not fix it or be ready for it, is not a good look for Jackson.
I also don’t like Jackson taking credit for the losses and the mistakes–that’s fine if you fix the problems and what’s he gonna do? Blame it on the players? That would go over really well in the locker room. If he keep taking credit for all the bad shit (“that’s on me”) then I’m assuming at some point he would quit if they started losing a lot, right? Isn’t that REALLY what you should do when you are taking credit for a failure and are unable to fix it?
But, it hasn’t happened yet. I don’t expect the Raiders to stay in first place for long, though…….
In a totally different way, he’s as yappy as Ryan. Yap, yap, yap,, it never ends…
his guys are looking good right now, but there is zero way to know what to expect of them even in just one game start to finish..
Shit, the Raiders are all over the place. Palmer looks great at times. Their run game looks great at times. Their defense as well. And their ST. Thing is, So all the rest of the teams in the AFC West are psycho as well. Any one of them could go on a roll and win it. The Chargers or Chiefs, or even the Tebows could pull it out.
Frankly, i think the Raiders are the ones to win the AFC West. Despite their propensity to shoot themeselves in the foot over and over.
16-13 Cardinals in a game so ugly and muddy that it should not be viewed by children under 18 and by women who are or may become pregnant.

Thanks. I’ll print it and use it the next time I need to wipe my ass.
I am rooting for The Yapper’s guys though- the way the rest of this division is going, they’re all that stand in the way of the Broncos winning it at 7-9.
Of course “All Day” sprains his ankle vs the Ray-duhs of all teams. Care to venture a guess whose fantasy team he’s on? Tebow needs to pray harder for my team.
TB giving GB all they can handle — and then some.
No such thing as an easy W in the NFL.
GB just scored
TB just answered.
Tampa out threw em’, out rushed ’em, still down nine..
Criminy, the Raiders seem hell-bent on letting Minnesota back into this game. Another 3 penalties for 45 yards.
4 penalties . . .
Their 101st this year.
Pick in the end zone…
Raiders fumble.
Giveit away giveit away giveit away now.
Blaine Gabbert needs a goddamn haircut. He’s getting close to Timmeh territory.
CRAB FUCKIN TREE
They blocked it.
Thank God Del Mar is rooting for the f-ing Cards
This game’s already fugly. Almost as fugly as Chuck’s Junior Prom date.
Almost.
At least I didn’t go with my sister . . .
Willis!!!
WTF was Red Skelton thinking?
P Willy making it tough for the rook Skelton. Our D eats Birds.
BTW is Skelton a redhead?
Another drop for VD.
And Akers misses another. Did I mention this game is fugly?
