Oakland is about to become Green Bay West. 

I can't say I'm very surprised -- I was 50/50 on keeping Hue.  Hopefully we'll see a quick turnaround, but any consistency built over the last couple of years is gone.  On the other hand, consistent problems on defense and in the penalty area need to go away.

I'm thinking the Warriors and the Raiders are the same organization, just different sports.

Well, quite the evening: the amazing Niners game AND the Sharks won.  I have a friend who went to LSU and who is (of course) a huge Saints fan/Niner hater (he used to have a dog named Saint!).  He was strangely silent on FB tonite.

I subscribe to a relatively lame Boz Scaggs group, and found this pretty awful remake of the Lido Shuffle:  The Tebow Shuffle

Done by local DJ's, etc.

Line of the Day, from Bill Maher: "wouldn't it have been funny if Tom Brady had thrown for 666 yards yesterday after Tebow's 316?"

Is this an OK place to broadcast your Joe Buck stories? Wow, I just realized for the first time that he shares a name with the Midnight Cowboy.

Sure, so long as it shows him to be the schmuck he is.

Btw, were you aware there's a facebook group called "1,000,000 Strong against Buck & McCarver Ruining Another World Series"? Membership is slightly under that figure, but they're passionate. Or they were when the Giants were  in the Series in '10 anyway.

TANC!  There's a famous rumor about Mr Buck supposedly liking men, despite being married with children. It involves a famous and sexy former baseball player. That's enuf for now.

TANC!

Definitely not. I was asking based on the comment you made on one of the FB threads that you had inside info. I was hoping that this forum is not family friendly.
