Seems like every Arizona receiver has the drops tonight…except, of course, Fitz. They’re lucky the Niners have been so generous with turnovers and penalties. ---

Kaepernick is more interested in being a social justice warrior and Chip Kelly is busy negotiating with LSU and/or Oregon. ---

This thread is pretty light this week… I am going to the Panthers-Bucs game tomorrow night for a work/vendor event. VIP tent, great seats. Looking forward to it. No Cam, but it will be a fun time. ---

Sometimes you need to make your own joy in life. Does anyone else see a similarity between the Brown’s QB situation and [Spinal Tap drummers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ1QHiYsSGE)? “They can’t really dust for vomit.” ---

It really is getting interesting seeing all the different ways the Chargers can blow the end of games. Muffed snap on a chip-shot FG this week, that’s pretty good. Plus it probably shouldn’t have been 4th down anyway! Good times. Hoping the Chargers can go 1-15 but still have a positive point differential 🙂 ---
