Still No (and Possibly Sad) News

The football landscape has not changed, and we await the start of camp at the end of the month with nothing more or less than about 1000% uncertainty. As it stands now we have a new offense which may or may not lead to 40 punts a game, a defense that may be required to play 100 snaps on defense, a waste-of-a-5th-round-pick punter in Bradley Pinion, who ended up 27th in average, and a 41 year old field goal kicker in Phil Dawson.

All in all, a recipe for 6-10. Shitty as that sounds, that would be an improvement. I can’t even feel very much excitement for preseason games, as we all remember (tinfoil) Samurai  Mike Singletary going 4-0 in 2010 preseason games. The got him a whole lot of squadoosh. Granted, I’m curious to see how the offense works in real-time, but since we wouldn’t be playing the starters for any length of time, it will be very hard to grade these games out.

And, on a sad note, there’s the distinct possibility that one of the contributors to the madness here, NoFear49er, may have passed away in January. I don’t have any personal info for him, and I wouldn’t even know where or how to start to verify this, but Skeebers from the 49erOutsider has reason to believe he may have passed. I’m going to search the logs here and see if I can find anything, but if you folks know anything, please let me know.

    And Buwwit is posting 6 month old pre-draft articles to diss Kaepernick. Keen eye there, skippy.
    Pathetic. Between him and the 6,000 screeds by Herr Furher regarding Kappy and fascism in general, it’s a wonder . . .

    Chuck the SSvc has Trump well secured I’m sure.

    The bigger issue is the White Supremacism faction that is openly in favor of Trump.
    Add the open carry State into the mix and it’s pretty easy to assume the ingredients are there and, things could easily become hostile.
    More likely it occurs outside the agenda but, volatile nonetheless.

    Don’t know what this Country is coming to anymore.
    Big Brother and the Corporate Machine need to get their collective heads together and recognize the fact that Americans are sick and tired of business as usual.
