More on this. I don’t like unions but I agree with them on this one...

“The Santa Clara Police Union has threatened not to provide security services at future games and 49ers fans have been burning Kaepernick jerseys.

“NBC Bay Area obtained a letter, penned by union members, to the San Francisco 49ers stating that if the organization does not take action against Kaepernick, “it could result in police officers choosing not to work at your facilities.”

“The Santa Clara Police Department is the lead police agency at Levi’s Stadium. During 49er games, around 70 officers volunteer to work and are paid as security personnel. Now it is unknown whether more than half of those officers will show up at the team’s next game on Sept. 12.”

Well, Jim, the NFL has always had more than its share... of jerks--

But The Obamanation has brought out... the cream of the crop.

The best news for the Cowboys this weekend was Mississippi State losing, now we know just how much Dak Prescott meant to them.

If the Niners, normally my team, don’t get their act together with this (following the stupendous stupidity of letting Jim Harbaugh go), my interest in them will go WAY down.

Gadzooks, Jim-- Normally I'd give any 69er fan... the King Size Whoo Raaa--

But with the Bay Area Boys present pitiful circumstances... I can only offer my profound condolences--

With a King Sized... "Whoo Raaa!" thrown in for an extra 1,000 foot of stropping!

Hey, Jim, Bendy's always yam... what he yam--

Thanks for the condolences. Have to say, this was a great college Foosball weekend which may make up for the Niners this year, as it has for me the last few years. Stanford, also my team, looks like it’s rockin’ and rollin’.

It’s also nice to see someone being who they yam. :)

Funny you should say that: I wrote a Dallas Cowboy writer/blogger who had written a column saying Tony should retire and said I agreed and that I was afraid if he plays again he may get hurt so badly he never walks again. I really don’t want to see that.

This team won’t win the Super Bowl this year, not close. Too many holes on defense. I could see if there was an 80% chance they would go to the Super Bowl-—maybe some things are worth the risk. But not this. Retire, and take the Ring of Honor.

If you have the names of your favorite Pinot Noirs tattooed on your body... you might be a 49ers fan--

From http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17469860/carson-wentz-philadelphia-eagles-start-week-1

Eagles rookie QB Carson Wentz to start Week 1 against Browns

SNIP—SNIP

Wentz was “laying in the middle of a cornfield” hunting geese in New Jersey on Saturday morning when Pederson called to deliver the news that he was the starter.

Gadzooks, what a small world-- I was just laying here... when Jerry called for me to help Dak.

Re: And here is how... the season will shake out

Okay, but IMHO it will be as follows:

AFC EAST: big's Pattycakes 10-6

AFC NORTH: Stoolers 11-5

AFC SOUTH: Allegra's Texicans 10-6

AFC WEST: Seven's Waiders 11-5

NFC EAST: My Boys 12-4

NFC NORTH: big's Packer Wackers 11-5

NFC SOUTH: Cam's Cittycats 11-5

NFC WEST: Seahags 10-6

AFC CHAMPS: Allegra's Texicans over Seven's Waiders in Oakland

NFC CHAMPS: My Boys over big's Packer Wackers at the Deathstar

And the 'All Texas' SUPER BOWL 51: My Boys over Allegra's Texicans at NRG Stadium with Dan Bailey kicking a 51 yard field goal as time expires.

Now, if this don't get Allegra to come back to dispute me... nothing will!

The Fig Newtons won’t monkey around with Trevor Siemian. Feel good revenge win for CAR.

A little bird told me that the Falcons were tired of sucking. I’m not sure whether to believe him but I’m picking ATL at home over Lovie’s Landlubbers.

Sam Bradford? I don’t know Vicequeens, I don’t know. But the itty bitties tittes should still lose to MIN.

Batteries on low this season? Big Chief Andy collects some scalps for KC.

I just smoked some crack so I’m picking OAK to win their opener on the road, aints aint got no D.

CIN over the jets. Relax ny it’s not a crash it’s a forced water landing.

When in doubt, don’t pick the Browns, PHI wins.

GB over the jagoffs

BUF on the road over the blackbirds.

Despite the crack I’m still picking HOU over my Bears who looked really crummy this preseason. Brock O has already beaten us once.

SEA feasts on tuna

Diet Manning’s NYG over Dallas,

IND Colts over the kitties

My olde Chi Cards over the Brady-less Bunch. AZ

PIT over the deadskins

SF 69ers over the Rams

In convenient list form for you Bendy

PANTHERS
EAGLES
BENGALS
CHIEFS

BILLS
SEAHAWKS
FALCONS
TEXANS

PACKERS
RAIDERS
VIKINGS
GIANTS

COLTS
CARDINALS
STEELERS
49ERS
