Joe Montana – Played by RuPaul. I’m sure the former San Francisco 49ers QB is a nice guy, but his game-winning 10 yard TD pass to John Taylor in the waning seconds of Super Bowl XXIII ruined my childhood. He/she will be singing a rousing version of “If I Only Had a Heart.”

Can we get a quarterback? After watching today's "game" against the Miami Dolphins, I have never been more fully convinced that our issues are very simple. We need a quality, veteran quarterback. I sincerely think a good, and I stress "GOOD" quarterback can transform this team to an 11-5 or 12-4 team next year. It's that simple. If you've been watching the season of malcontent for many other teams, you know as well as I do that there will be some good quarterback available in the offseason. I wouldn't be suprised if Donovan McNabb is available (I've blogged about this before), Carson Palmer will be out of Cincinnatti, one of the Browns quarterbacks will also be gone. Marc Bulger is on his way out in St. Louis. Any of these possibilities are leaps and bounds better than our current position. How many 1, 2, or 3 yard out routes are we going to run?

Another week is in the books in the National Football League as we head to Week 15. But first let's take a look back at the week that was...Week 14! (my tongue is getting twisted) Several surprising outcomes this past Sunday including a few of the games I picked. I went a disappointing 1-3 in my picks. Very poor performance on my part. I'm finally realizing I'll never have a grip on the NFL. It's the most inconsistent professional sport out there. Any team can lose on any given week. But enough sulking, let's get on to this week's Fallout Report!

ately for Texans fans.
Winners - Green Bay Packers
2) New York Jets @ San Francisco 49ers
The Jets were surprised at home by the Denver Broncos last Sunday. This week they fly into San Francisco to take on the 4-8 49ers. Jets are 0-2 in the West Coast this season (losses against San Diego and Oakland). I however have a feeling that Brett Favre and company will bounce back after last week. The AFC East is still up for grabs and I believe that the Jets will hang on to sole possession of first. The 49ers are not a good football team. So I'll go with the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets in this one. Ring it up.

Donovan McNabb in scarlet and gold. I can see it now. McNabb's latest clash with Philly management no doubt has him on the way out. We need to be proactive and take the opportunit

I see the Browns winning a 'squeaker'.
Winners - Cleveland Browns
2) San Francisco 49ers @ Dallas Cowboys
This is what the Cowboys need. A winnable game at home. The 49ers are 3-7 (2nd though in the NFC West if you can believe that). The Cowboys need to keep winning to stay in the thick of the NFC East. Terrell Owens and Roy Williams should see the ball quite often (start em in Fantasy!) and the Cowboys should roll in this one.

One highlight I can truly say was watching Mike Singletary take over as coach of the San Francisco 49ers. It did my heart good to see an old school Gridiron great out there coaching the old school way. Say what you will, I loved it.

Let’s start off today with a thank you to all the men and women who have represented our country in the Armed Forces. If it weren’t for the sacrifices that these Americans have made, we would be able to live our lives with the freedom and choice that we all enjoy. Thank you.

He just keeps ticking, worn out old Greg Maddox won his 18th Gold Glove this past week.
The playoff seedings in the MLL are set now. Argonaut as the number one seed gets the 3rd place team in the WAC, Calaveras in the number 2 spot gets to drive down to Escalon and Summerville travels to Modesto for a game with Central Catholic. Prospects don't look too good for an advance to the second round of any of the three teams, but as my good friend Ben always says, "You never know."

football in general, and other sports that I like. Unfortunately, my home town teams are the San Francisco 49ers, the San Francisco Giants, and the Sacramento Kings, all of which are performing very poorly these days, so I may not have a lot of good to say about them.

After another scary roller coaster ride on Wall Street last week, we at least have the weekend and sports to bring back some sanity to our life. Unless of course your motto is "Go Blue" and you hail from the great state of Northern Ohio or as most of you know it, Michigan. Who says there's no such thing as karma?

Who is going to win the World Series, the Phillies or the Rays? The best thing about this series is that I can be fairly neutral as to who wins and just root for some good ole' fashioned baseball.

Week 7 is officially in the books as Tuesday, the 21st of October rolls around today. This week's Fallout report will cover the most interesting games from the week 7 slate in the National Football League. The alarm is going off in Big D as the Cowboys struggle for the second week in a row to find a win, the Vikings put up 41 in a loss, and Brett Farve gets the ball three times in overtime against the struggling Raiders, but can't chip any points in. I'll cover those happenings....right now!

In June, a Bulldog started off as an underdog and over the course of 3 weeks became a Wonderdog. Is it any surprise that a former Bulldog led the Rays to their first World Series appearance, in Bob Gibson like performance.

It was an interesting week in the National Football League. A few surprises, a big meltdown by one team and one bruised and battered team found a way to win a big prime-time game. Let's get right to it--game by game.

So I normally title my Monday blog: Monday Mourning due to being hungover from a full day of drinking and watching sports, hence the “mourning” because I have to get up, go to work, puke in the bathroom, and subsequently fall asleep in all of my meetings and get absolutely no work done. But today is different, mainly due to the fact that CBS’s and Fox’s regional coverage of NFL games in my area was HORRIBLE. Games that had a spread of +11 with no fantasy implications at all were being aired, so I went and watched polo (you know, the sport where guys on horses trot around and whack a ball with mallets). I had never been to a polo game before but we decided to go due to the possibility of attractive females (there are always beautiful women at horse events). We mingled with a few and made up some elaborate lies that we were just checking out the competition and had our horses stabled a few miles away. We were obviously out of place, with our cheers of “nice pass man!” and “shoooooot it!” but we wholeheartedly plan on attending it every Sunday for the rest of the season – pending what NFL games are on of course.

Well, it's Monday morning. All of us are recovering from a roller-coaster weekend of football. I sat on the same couch, in the same clothes, in the same position from Thursday evening (USC/Oregon St thriller) until 8:35pm on Sunday night. It wasn't until Sunday morning that I realized how bad I actually smelled.

One of the least talked about stories this week is 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Martz coaching against his former team in the Detroit Lions. The game that could be the "Martz Bowl" has both teams in a must win situation. For the Lions they need to avoid a 0-3 start in a hurry if they look to turn around their season and this is a very critical game for San Francisco as their schedule gets tougher than understanding a George Bush press conference.

I just wanted to let you know that I may be unable to post for a few days. I live south of Houston, near Galveston, Texas. As hurricane Ike approaches there may be power outages and loss of internet access. If that is the case, I will be unable to write my column. Remember though, there are things much more important than sports. If you need Ike information, you can go to:

Believe. Believe. It’s the one word in sports that says so much but says so little. You’ve seen signs in every NFL stadium at some point with this simple word. ”Believe.” When MLB baseball approaches the postseason every year, the word reappears. “Believe.” But believe in what I ask you? Do the Chicago Cubs “believe” that they will win a World Championship? Or do they “believe” that some strange twist of fate will ruin another promising season. What does your team “believe” in?
