Game Day — We’re on Mission from God

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.

    I gotta watch his fat ass as the Dal-WAsh is pre-empting the Niners cause of OT. Shit…got the sound at least.

    Akers made 2 FG, right Del?

    John Skelton is 0-5 to start the game with an interception. The 49ers’ receivers, meanwhile, have three drops.

    In other words, fugly!

    What the fuck is up with Edwards? Does he have three drops already? That’s exactly how that pass is thrown.

    That wasn’t even a difficult play to get two feet inbounds, VD just wasn’t paying any attention.

  13. phil fan's avatar phil fan says:
