"Sterger" Spelled Backward = "Regrets"
How appropo. Anyhoo, now that the No. 4 Experiment looks about ready to end and the "In T-Jac We Trust" Era ready to begin, let us look for levity in the proceedings. So as to avoid crying.
The SNL vid someone linked over to the right is a must-see if you haven't already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7mMwAKsqaY
Also, our QB was jabbed by none other than 30 Rock on its live episode a couple weeks ago (Kenneth to Jenna: "And a Mr. Brett Favre [pronounced 'Fahv Ray'] dropped off a picture of a hot dog!").
And now we're starting to see the t-shirts. A couple classics out there already:
May as well laugh, right?

It's funny because it's true.
So, does anyone actually think we win at Foxboro?

A win at Foxboro would have to be due to the defense, because I don't see T-Jack emerging from 1.5 seasons on the bench to heroically lead us to victory.
Some funny shirts, by the way. The Throwin' Pick Six shirt is incredible. So true...
BTW, the NFL should not even be involved in this...it happened 2 years ago, and no one filed any complaints back then. I'm no lawyer (will leave that to MCA), but it seems this is purely deadspin trying to get the best scoop ever, not some criminal activity.
P.S. Go Giants. I am assuming MCA is not rooting for Texas, but I'd like to give you guys the quick and dirty sales pitch on the Giants:
1) homegrown pitching, among the best in the game
2) collection of used parts on offense (Burrell, Cody Ross, Aubrey Huff et al) that is truly playing like they're in the little league world series, not the real one. They were literally giddy about every day that they were in the pennant race...
3) Buster Posey - stud rookie catcher, idolizes Joe Mauer
4) The team, a la the Twins, seems to genuinely like each other
5) They left Zito off the playoff roster, and have barely played Rowand (their 2nd highest paid player behind Zito)
6) "Let Timmy Smoke" t-shirts...so funny. Oh, and Lincecum is 5 ft. 8, 150 lbs...can you imagine how frustrating it must be to get dominated by him?
7) Their fans are approaching Viking fans' torture levels. The team has been in SF since 1958 and has been to 3 world series during that time...losing all 3, most recently to the dongball Anaheim Angels of LA of Anaheim...same year the Twins lost to them, and their rally monkey.
8) Bonds is gone...

Also:
- nice ballpark
- I hear Willie Mays is a fan
- once again, thank you for Liriano and Nathan
All that said, I'm still so soured by our inglorious exit from these playoffs that I still just can't bring myself to watch. That should be us out there. We were better than Texas all year, yet they were the ones who found a way to beat NY when it should have been us. And San Fran rode a big second half wave right into the World Series, just like we should have. Having two destiny teams that everyone's blowing in the media make the Series, and neither of them being the Twins, is like seeing your old girlfriend, who broke up with you two weeks ago, show up at the prom with your best friend and the two of them sweeping the podium over the star athlete and the head cheerleader. Shoulda been me up there, you think.
So, yeah, I'm still pretty much on hiatus here.

I am questioning my whole sports fandom right now. Why do I get so much pleasue everytime Florida St, who a good friend of mine follows, loses? Why do I get so upset at the notion of Boise St in the national title game? Why do I even give a rats ass about the Vikings? They have the most hated player as the QB, I don't live there, I have no ties to the players, they are just another business trying to get my money and I root for my FFL team more. I make fun of people who follow the personal lives of movie stars. What makes following sports any different?
All that being said I have two sodas bet on the Giants.

P.S.- There is no doubt in my mind if my wife ever leaves me that I will become the Winnebago man. Not a guy that drives a Winnebago, but a person cut from the same cloth as the former Winnebago pitchman, Jack Rebney. If you missed the youtube clip that was posted do yourself a favor and go look it up on youtube. I bet if someone spliced together a week in the life of me, it would be eerily similar. He is now a recluse living away from it all. That sounds pretty good. I know the Vikes, Twins and Boise St issues aren't getting him down.
