On a related note, the 2011 season just slid another step closer into the crapper.
And, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
This team should have Jeff Garcia on speed dial right now. Sadly, I'm not kidding.
Update: The news just keeps getting better today. Profootballtalk.com is reporting that the $40 million earmarked for the new stadium could be lost due to the proposed dissolution of state redevelopment agencies. Among the alternative plans mentioned in the article would be sharing a stadium with the Raiders in - wait for it - Oakland.
Just to be clear, if somehow the 49ers end up playing across the bay, I will never go to another home game again. I'd rather fly to an away game than deal with bridge and east bay traffic.
Even more news: The Niners have just promoted Paraag Marathe, who's only accomplishment is to be Lil' Jed's bestest friend in the whole wide world, to Chief Operating Officer. What a well-deserved promotion! Maybe he'll be next in line for league commissioner! The 49ers are in such capable hands!
Yes, I'm being sarcastic.
The Paraag news has ruined my day! Who will be the extra man in the booth to assist the coaches when calling for a replay.
ReplyDeleteIs the Chief Negotiator responsible for signing Nate Clements to a seven year $70 million dollar contract?
I think Paraag is going to be the first NFL executive to start evaluating talent using only a Texas Instruments TI-80 and a slide ruler.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of jobs in Silicon Valley for Stanford MBAs - why does he have to get an NFL gig?
If he wasn't Lil' Jed's buddy, he'd be counting beans at Cisco.
Bring back John McVay.
