Meeting Mick and Mike

This is the cat that beat me in my pro football picks this weekend. His name is Mick. He is a two year old fixed tabby. He also got four out of five right after just nuzzling one of the two choices for each game.  No, I did not make the picks for him.  No, he obviously does exist.  Yes, he will be making more picks next week.   Yes, he is on drugs...catnip to  be exact.  Yes, he is litter box trained.  No, Dippy does not want to sell him to a resturant for lawyer money.  

And the winner for best debut head coach press conference after a horrible first loss goes to...Mike Singletary. Mike is the new coach of the San Francisco 49ers. He has been on the job for less than a week after the team clipped Mike Nolan. Singletary is best known for being an intense middle linebacker for the Bears in the 80s. Now, he appears to be an even more intense head coach. With five minutes left in the game 49ers tight end Vernon Davis (by the way the only TE on the team that can catch a football) got an unsportsmanlike penalty costing his team 15 yards. As he was walking towards the sidelines Coach Singletary wanted a word. Mr. Davis shook off his new coach to indicate that he was not going to be conversing with him. Singletary was no mood for this and kicked Davis off the field. That led to the below sound bite. I do not know how Singletary is going to do, but if we get more pressers like this then we are definitely in for a treat. This is the second best coach sound bit ever next to Denny Green's "they are who we thought they were...and we lettem off the hook" blast. Can't wait for the 49ers next game in two weeks. If they suck as badly as they did yesterday then the next post-game presser should be a festival.
