So, let's see, on the Sunday Without Football..

... I reflect on some of the utter stupidity that has befallen us in the last week or so on the basis of the National Religion...

• Another week, another shooting.  No, not talking about the latest mall shooting, but only because that'd be for another blog in that regard.  I'm talking in a Fresno, CA home (and, believe me, having been in Fresno (or what's left of it!), I'm not surprised) and a 49er fan who was being razzed in his home by two Seattle fans for being a bandwagoner.  For this, the 49er fan tried to knife them, was stabbed himself when the knife was taken, and then shot the two men in the leg.
• Richard Sherman has become the new poster boy for Roger Goodell's NFL.  In past years or eras, a player with his mouth in the Super Bowl would probably end up largely silenced or disgraced on the field.  Why do I get the feeling that Goodell would want to do differently with this idiot?
• The Pro Bowl, with a draft format, involving two of NFL.com's fantasy football champions.  Great.  One more reason to spit in the face of real life simply so your fantasy team can win.  One more reason to threaten the life of an injured player because you need fantasy points.

 Business as usual in Football Nation America.
