Well, the Powers that Be decided to actually give us two NFL games on TV this morning at once. That's the good news. The bad news is one features the Raiders and the other the Detroit Lions. Which means that someone, somewhere, thinks everyone here is so tied into who gets the #1 pick next year that everyone in the Bay Area wants to watch both teams at the same time.

Thanks.
