Allan from Fallbrook
ParticipantSDR: Kicking you when you are down? Have you looked at the Raiders recently? 77 yards of TOTAL OFFENSE last week. Oy vey. I’m about ready to become a 49ers fan at this rate. At least Singletary is bringing some fire to that team – and discipline.
BTW, Rumor Central has it that Al Davis is courting Jim Harbaugh from Stanford as possible next HC of the Raiders. Harbaugh is a big Bay Area name (Jim went to Palo Alto HS and his dad coached at Stanford also) and he loves Al Davis. Should be interesting.
On the Chargers front: Firing Ted Cottrell was the right move and long overdue, but the problems are deeper than that. Losing Merriman was huge; that defense is a shade of what it once was and where the hell did your pass rush go? Linebacker play is pretty bad, too. LT is not nearly the threat he was and the decision to lose Lorenzo Neal is looking increasingly bad. You also know that Ron Rivera, your new D Coordinator, is the same guy that gagged against the Colts during the Bears – Colts Super Bowl, right?
That last one was kicking you when you were down, sorry.

ParticipantTG: Congrats, man. Hopefully we’ll run into each other as I plunder all of the bankruptcy sales at the Promenade Mall.
I’d like to say sorry about the Chargers, but I couldn’t do it with a straight face.

ParticipantDuke: Thanks for your usual thoughtful and cogent response.
I mentioned on another thread how horrified I was watching Palin and her celebration of ignorance.
I remember a Jesuit priest describing Faith and Reason as the two wings that were necessary to lift you. I don’t know at what point intelligence and spirituality gave way to ignorance and religiosity in the Republican Party, but this is what we’re left with now.
We need to find our way back to those core beliefs that defined us and recognize that the Reagan Revolution is over. We need to recognize that ideas do matter, as well as finding the flexibility necessary to reach out to those groups that we’ve managed to alienate and disenfranchise.
Allowing the Palins of the party to continue to dominate will sound the death knell of the GOP. This election and these last eight years are a clarion call we’d better heed. Or else.
