Go, local sports ball team, go!

Meanwhile, every F1 blog is eagerly trying to scoop the others with secret details about this year's cars, drivers, and teams. I have some catching up to do. Sunday I'll prolly be out training for next month's Chilly Hilly rather than staying inside watching fat pre-diabetic head cases smack each other around.

But go, sportsball guys! Play that sports!

Apparently only the Guest House of the famous Singer estate was damaged thank goodness.

Sounders acquired a couple new defenders yesterday :)

Between that and the available cap space... big midfielder signing soon? :D

@3 I sure hope so! Darn transfer window...

Sportsball! So funny because its The Stranger! Get it- they don't have TVs, or watch sports, and will let you know this constantly! I'm sure they spend Sundays writing poetry and sniffing their own farts.

If the Niners want to win, they have to pound the hell out of Seattle's front seven in the run game. Seattle's offense is mediocre (which is why they depend on turnovers), and tends to do poorly against solid, physical defenses like that of San Francisco's.

If they can lean on their run game, they can win, if their run game falters, they will lose.

Saying they need to avoid turnovers is just about as illuminating as saying they need to stop the other team from scoring more points. It's all about the run, baby.

I wish our lovely Mrs. Obama every good wish on her birthday. We really are lucky to have her as first lady.

@7 - Do they have what it takes to bribe the refs?

Dear Michelle: Happy Birthday!

Could you tell your husband to stop peeping into our windows and quartering troops in our homes?

Hmm, not turning the ball over is important to winning in football? Who knew? That's some trenchant analysis there.

@6/7/11: The 49ers' quarterback also says that they "have to protect the football." A sound plan.

@12 - If you haven't seen it yet, the A.V. Club has a new football column called Block & Tackle. They take a more pop-culture approach to the analysis, which is just what I need to give a damn about football.

The men who speak of football enjoy the king-of-the-mountain image. It dispenses with complexity to make it seem that the only winning ingredient is testosterone, and the only winning game plan is to have more of it than the other guys.

Percy Harvin has been ruled out for Sunday's game.

What? Harvin missing time due to injury? Shocking.

@13, football analysis is light on both. It seems mostly about garish outfits and manlove.

@14, they've got to stop signing Minnesota receivers. At least they're #2 guy has great hands - that onside kick hit Tate right in the numbers last week.

I live in SF and I like to have some level of loyalty to my home teams. Fortunately, the 49ers DON'T live in SF anymore, so GO SEATTLE.

@13: "You should root for the Seahawks because it’s the egalitarian choice." It's official!

Please wait...
