Only week one but does look like there’s going to be some serious competition for NFL’s 2018 number 1 draft pick.

Well, at least the SF 49ers outscored the SF Giants today.  (Barely, 3 to 1)

–

Though at least SFGiants may have made it easier for SF49ers fans this year -they’ll only have to watch their team lose once a week.

–

Meanwhile, wonder what the record is for the longest losing streak by an MLB team that won 100 games during the regular season. Assuming the Dodgers get to 100 games.

–

Well at least for a week folks in Washington will have a diversion from usual complaining about Congress in complaining about the Redskins.

Ezekiel Elliott, on the injunction that means he can play this year  “I’m just relieved for the fact that I finally get a fair trial.”

Suppose it would be tacky to start a pool on his next incident?

As some bizarre stories emerge from Hurricane Irma,  let me say that I fully support the right of people to go after Darwin awards for themselves. But it really sucks when they endanger rescuers.

A little good news.   After the caretaker decided to ride out the storm, the Hemingway House and all its cats survived  Hurricane Irma.   Although guessing if the cats could talk they would ask to be transferred to the care of a smarter human.

Police shot & killed a man who  allegedly fatally shot 7 people during Dallas Cowboys watch party in Plano, TX.   Move along, nothing to see here. #Murica

(unless of course it comes out tomorrow that the alleged gunman was either undocumented or Muslim)

From TC  “Rogers Communications, the parent company of the Toronto Blue Jays have just announced that they will give $1 of every ticket sold on Monday vs Baltimore to Florida Hurricane relief funds. Average price of a ticket is ~$60. Who knew the head of Rogers was named Ebenezer?”

Really rough time for Florida. But have to figure some residents are at least getting a smile out of watching Urban Meyer lose. #OhioState

–

Indians have won 17 games straight. 2017 #SFGiants consider 17 wins a good two months.

–

A Florida man suggested shooting guns at Hurricane Irma out of “stress and boredom.”  And apparently over 54,000 have signed up to join in.  Good to know that even in the worst of times, some Floridians remain committed to upholding their state’s reputation.

Hillary Clinton “I’m done with being a candidate.” Your turn, Bernie.

Quite a quandry for Facebook if Zuckerberg ever runs for President: Would site accept big $$$ from Russians running ads again him?

The Norwegian Escape cruise ship is waiting out Irma at sea with 4,000 people and unlimited booze. Imagine a whole lot of drunken karaoke versions of Gilligan’s island “A three-hour tour…”

Clicked on a FB link about John McCain saying he’s “facing a challenge.” And yes, brain cancer is horrible. But even more horrible are some of the comments, “hurry up and die,” mostly from people who claim McCain hasn’t been a good enough Republican. You almost hope they’re Russian bots, because humans shouldn’t be that nasty.
