Free agency is over. The draft is over. All that’s left before the season starts is training camp and preseason. The 49ers shitcanned an entire coaching staff (have fun with your $10 mill, Jimmy T!) and hired an offensive guru who will bring his hyperdrive offense to the Team Under the Bay. I even speculated months before it happened that it would be mildly interesting to see how Colin Kaepernick and Chip Kelly could run a mobile wide open offense.
However, the brain trust (insert Abby Normal joke here) bad-mouthed and whisper-trashed Kaepernick for half of last season before overvaluing him this offseason and demanding too much, and eventually crying uncle while Kappy still gets paid. Kappy did his own balloon-floating by stating his desire to go to the Jets.A no-go as the Jets are still courting Ryan Fitzpatrick (and his evil twin/lover Patrick Fitzryan) Denver diddled around and didn’t pull the trigger, and so here we are. With an untested offense, a disgruntled quarterback who has a huge distrust of the front office, and oh yeah, a right tackle who is engaging in his own tweet battle with the front office.
Sure, we’re stable. Stable as Kim Jong Ill. The question is, do we have reason to be optimistic? Teams around us appear to be treading water. Seattle lost beast mode. Although his replacement chewed us up pretty well last year. Their defense isn’t nearly what it once was. AZ is still being led by Captain Crunchy Carson Palmer. A guy who never met a playoff game he excelled in. And then there’s the recently re-minted LA Rams. Meh. I’ll believe them when I see them actually do something They’ve been the team on the rise for 8 seasons now with nothing to show for it. At least we rose to higher heights and then crashed spectacularly into a heap of smoking wreckage. They’ve just been fair to poor for nigh a decade. As Neil Young once said, it’s better to burn out than it is to rust.
Forty Niners Forever 
The Sharks are going to OT. They need to finish off the pesky Preds tonight.
The fucking officials are killing Golden State in this series. Livingston gets clubbed in the head, no foul called, then gets his dumb ass thrown out.
The only hope the Sharks have is they are at home. They should have finished these guys off, but they have a history of falling short.
The Sharks can’t let it get to OT. They should take out the goalie late in tie games. They only lost once in regular season regulation. Once. In OT they suck.
The Warriors are a whole nuther team with Steph. Win or lose, big guy, welcome back.
2/3 of the way to the trifuckta.
Criminy. Hell of a Warrior game. Thompson’s d almost won it in regulation.
All 12 Warrior points in the OT so far, including that 35 footer he just hit that barely made the net move. Heeeeeeeeeeeeee’s baaaaaaa-ackkkkk.
17 in OT for Steph. Seven down, nine to go…
Steph for President!!
In contrast the Giants offense……..zzzzzzzzzzzz
Bingo.
New thread is up.
