American Football Spectacular: The End Times Are Here!

On Sunday the 49ers battled into overtime up there in Seattle to win a wacky-tacular game over the reigning kings of the NFC West. That was pretty awesome.

Also on Sunday, the Raiders took time out from infighting to rumble past the disorganized Chiefs. That was unexpected, and kinda nice.

Also on Sunday, the SF Giants went into extra innings to trot out of San Diego with a win. OK, that's cool too.

Also on Sunday, the A's outmuscled the Rangers at the Coliseum. And that means... I... what-the... OH SHI-

How? How is this possible?! It must be a sign... a dire portent! What is this ill wind that flows the grasping-handed fog through St. Francis' golden gate?!

Ahh, crap; it's The End Times.

Now that the world is ending, here are some links that'll be of help:

Stay levelheaded. Be ready. Keep safe out there everyone. We'll keep you updated from here as long as we can. Keep calm, do your best. We will get through this together. Stay tuned.

OK, so; actually the last time all four of the Bay Area franchises won together on a single day was September 9, 2001:

49ers vs Falcons; Raiders at Kansas City again; Giants at Rockies; A's vs Tampa Bay

After looking that up, the joke stopped being funny since something actual and bad happened two days later. Which led to the following thought: what can I/we do?

Here's what you should do: Stop screwing around on SFist and how 'bout you do some volunteer work in your community.

We just had Hurricane Ike come through and hurt a lot of people's lives. You could work on that.

OK, good. Thanks.

There'll still be plenty of football, baseball, and jokes to be made about both of 'em another day. Do some good, it'll make you feel good. Especially in these times.
