American Football Spectacular: A Level Of Sadness Akin To Elliott Smith
Reporting from the snow-dappled streets of Chicago, it's your American Football Spectacular preview for this Saturday night's battle at The Stick as The Queen City's feline football franchise comes to town.
* Cincinnati vs. San Francisco
Saturday, December 15, 2007. 5:00 PM, PST.
Week 15
The Messy Battle
As Jon mentioned previously, there's Raider-esque internecine squabbling goin' on within the 49ers now. Sad. Pathetic. Sigh.
But it could be worse -- at least the Niners aren't the Cincinnati Bengals.

In 2006, the Bengal players compiled a rap sheet of somethin' like twenty-something-odd arrests. And this from a team that was supposed to be fronted by a disciplinarian! In that phase of his head coachin' gig, Marvin Lewis has failed.
Not to mention on defense too. Boy, does CIN suck this season. For a team that was supposed to make the playoffs and challenge for the AFC North crown, Cincinnati has flubbed and misfired their way to 5-and-8.
That's where the sad-sack 49ers enter the picture. Sigh.
Now with third-string Shaun Hill starting at QB for the depleted dispirited depreciated Niners, this game looks to be a sad team tearing apart a sadder team.
Don't watch this game.

A lot of people probably do use Queen City as a nickname for SF...but this game is going down at The Stick, kids.

curse you, server error!
This was a GREAT game! Hill is the future.
Great win for the 9ers. Glad I could go and see it live.
Niners win the pennant! Niners win the pennant!
Well, you get the gist...

Yeah, oopsie; I thought this game was in Cincy. Hah! Silly me. I'll edit that now. Thanks for the catch.
