Wondered if jokes were appropriate on 9/11, then figured, while we may all probably spend time reflecting and remembering, there is a reason for gallows humor. We all need to laugh as much as we need to try. So here’s an attempt at some mostly tasteful, or at least not completely tasteless, jokes.

–

The defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers opened the NFL season with a win. Leading Pittsburgh Pirates fans to hope, maybe this week they can win one too.

–

The San Francisco Giants at A T and T park are hosting a production of Verdi’s “Il Trovatore” on September 19, calling it “Opera at the Ballpark.” Unfortunately, this week Giants fans may have already seen the fat lady start singing.

–
NBA officials may be locked out on October 1. Which will certainly complicate things for the league – who’s going to not call travelling on Lebron James?
