    Agreed. But can you find one on TV or movies anymore?

    The NFL is a league in total mis-management. They attacked their best player (Brady) and made a good guy out to be a villain. They brought 2 teams to LA, even though LA sort of likes one of those teams (Rams) and hates the other (Chargers) and actually loves the team going to Vegas (Raiders).

    I, too, love football and particularly the NFL, but like ESPN before them, they are headed in the wrong direction. Big Time.

    Funny thing is... that was the most entertaining game so far this season! Especially if you had SF +3

    REFS ..... the league has given these 65-year-old steroid freaks too much power. They suck! Only blow the whistle if it's flagrant!!

    CONCUSSIONS .... kids are not even allowed to play anymore. How is that good for the game?

    WOMEN REPORTERS..... blonde haired, brown eyed girls asking coaches meaningless questions on the sideline. It's a cliche. And keep 'em outta the booth, unless they're deserving. Also fire Jemele. Nobody who I know gives one iota of a fraction of a crap what she thinks.

    KAP..... a pee wee team took a knee the other day. Wow! They're supposedly mad at police injustice. But not their awol dads?! Talk about bitching to the choir.

    PRE-SEASON GAMES..... the owners have proven themselves to be greedy. They're printing money, yet will only consider giving up 2 pre-season games (that nobody wants) if they can get the players to agree to an 18 game schedule (which nobody wants). The season is pretty frig'n hard as it is. Bordering on malevolent, but what would one expect from Jerry Jones, Irsay, Davis, etc.?

    GOODELL....rivals PennyWise the Dancing Clown in creepiness. Despised by all, but somehow the owners think it's better to have this phoney ginger dork take all the heat, rather than them......making over $40mil/yr even though he's watching over a cataclysmic demise.

    STEVEN A SMITH, MADDOG, SKIP CLUELESS..... these guys (and gals) have taken a lot of fun outta sports by declaring themselves the smartest loudmouth in the room. I no longer want to be in that room.

    I've got more, but let's leave it at that for now.....

    I like it
    good rant Harry

    I miss the good old days when you could actually drive around 3pm or at noon time on all freeways and go the speed limit.. That was about 20 years ago..
    You're most likely right. I haven't really driven much in LA the last decade. Years ago, they certainly used to be up early as shit and would finish up working early, right after lunch or later in the evening.

    Cali just has too many damn people driving cars. And no one carpools. 1 car, 1 person. It's madness. I do not envy anyone that has to drive a 9 to 5 in LA. That has to take years off your life.

    Mac, you really have a major problem. You will defend ANY minority group, even with flat out lies, like the one you just posted. F.Y.I, Hispanics are the majority in Los Angeles now. NOT whites. NOT blacks. NOT show business people. Are you just begging to get your tail wrapped around your neck? You do not know caca about Los Angeles. Just go away, you bleeding heart Liberal. You are a joke in here.

    I wonder if the 49ers can compete with the browns in lowest attendance record. Last year they were giving away tickets to the chargers vs browns game for 6 dollars. This year if you buy tickets to the bengals vs browns game they give you a free ticket to cedar point amusement park.You have to attend the game no matter how boring you think it will be.
