What Happened to Football?

We’re 4 games into the season and I haven’t posted a word about it. Not only is this is unprecedented, it’s downright scary. This season I am one happy camper – the team and coach Harbaugh are balanced and awesome. Could it be that I’m finally learning to relax? Nah…

My family is puzzled that there have been no posts about the temp referees I was screaming at. Or the game calls that caused coach to foam at the mouth. No, I am not exaggerating.  I’m paying attention to all of that, I’m just too exhausted to write about it. Or much of anything else.

It’s my novels fault. I want to finish the draft and I only have one month (before NaNoWriMo) to get there. In November I’m going to write a different story, and I want to put the one I am writing (sick of) to bed for awhile. This morning I am possibly avoiding the thing by chatting with you guys. I’m at a tough transition point now and things are not flowing, so I’m being pouty about it. Sorry!

Anyway, I will be posting here and there because you know I can’t resist. But not as much as I have been. You may have noticed the dwindling rate of my posts already. Be assured that I won’t forsake you, dear readers! Even though it may seem that I’m ignoring you – I am not.  In fact, it’s possible you may be able to catch an excerpt of said novel someday, if you hang in there with me.

PLEASE?!

Only 5 More Days…

Until 49er Football!

August 10th is the first pre-season game vs. the Vikings @ 6:00pm (PDT).

I am so ready for some football…

Bring it ON!

Musical Quarterbacks

Holy Crap, Batman!

Peyton Manning becomes a free-agent and the NFL goes insane. Coaches that already have excellent quarterbacks, who BTW, brought their teams to the last game of the playoffs & beyond. Just 2 months ago, people!  Are memories really that bad? Is Manning really that great?

The 49er and the Bronco management teams obviously think so. Manning was apparently worth the disloyalty and embarrassment of their incumbent star quarterbacks who,  just 2 months ago, brought them into the winner’s circle.

The dust is settling now that Peyton has chosen Denver to be his new home. Of course, that put Tim Tebow out of a job and into the hands of the NY Jets. So, now the Jets quarterback will compete with the “Tebowmania”. Or not.

Jed York, the 49er’s CEO, told Alex Smith (after Alex signed the 49er’s contract offer), “Thanks for choosing the 49er’s, Alex. Sorry it was a tough week.”

Oh, and, by the way Alex – meet Josh Johnson. You’ll be training him to replace yourself…
