And as a longstanding Jets fan, I have to say - 1 win!! 1 win!! THat may be our season high: and the odds of Chad lasting til week 9 are, umm, well, pretty sort of OK I suppose, really, compared to, say, the chance of Bledsoe going a whole game without flubbing it. thanks Marc – this is what I need to brighten my Monday (now all I need to do is remember to set the video up to record the game at 1 a.m. tomorrow morning – the joys of British broadcasting).

So as a San Francisco 49ers fan who's had her heart stomped on and broke, and who has opted against rehab or a heart transplant, choosing instead to watch football, on occasion, with a semi-alert dispassion which is not impervious to dynastic memories, I have to say I enjoyed today's 49ers loss to Arizona. See, I do not know the finesse-tastic details of quarterback education. But for me, this was a <i>game</i>, a get-your-money's-worth game that my team was in right to the final seconds. A game such as this represents a hint of a suggestion of possible future success, or at least possible future not-blow-outs. A season of not-blow-outs which includes some wins sounds kinda cheerful to me. If I squint real hard and open another bottle of some inexpensive Napa Valley white, I might be diverted now and then, this season, by some good old-fashioned football fun.
