Boston Sucks

You know what: Fuck Boston. I said it. The town that used to be home of the lovable losers is now just a virulently racist cultural backwater. The teams I hate most right now by league are the BoSox (Yankees without the aura), the Patriots (Darth Hoodie can burn in hell), and the Celtics (because they cock-blocked Warrior fans from seeing Boom Dizzle and KG on the floor together). The people there sound like someone cut their noses off and they say stupid shit like "wicked pissah". WTF does that even mean you 'tards?!

And then there's The Sports Guy. I love Sports Guy. Best sports columnist of our generation. Single-handedly keeps people checking ESPN.com 8-10 times a day to see if he's posted anything new. But can the guy stop mentioning Boston in every goddamn article? We get it. There's a rich sports history there. But I don't give a shit where you were when Bobby Orr farted in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Or where you were when Carlton Fisk did anything. Or where you were when Larry Bird...actually Larry Bird was kinda bad-ass so those stories are ok.

But SG's quarter-year recap of the NFL is absolutely ludicrous. He has the Niners at #30. 30?!?! Like I said yesterday, I don't care since no one knows how good any team outside the top 3 is anyways .But I mean we're bad but Jesus H. Christ...that's a little harsh. He's got Atlanta at #22, basically so he can tout his Ewing Theory pick of the year. Not gonna happen. But this part sticks in my craw:

In other news, you know the Patriots own San Fran's 2008 first-round pick, right? After losing their own first-rounder with CameraGate, how funny would it be if the Niners' pick ended up being first overall? Don't count this out. They're terrible.

Anyways, the whole issue of the Niners trading next year's first-rounder to move back into the first round to grab Joe Staley is working out ok since he's the best player on our line right now. But I didn't think it was a good idea at the time and I still don't. We're back in this year's first round with the Colts' pick. But here's the tale of the tape:

49ers: Joe Staley, 2008 first-rounder in the high 20s (unless Peyton dies)
Colts: Tony Ugoh (via 49ers) who is now starting, no 2008 first-rounder
Pats: Brandon Meriwether, stripped of their first rounder (#32 or #30) for Videogate, the 49ers 2008 first-rounder that could be anywhere from #5 to #20

Obviously you don't make draft day trades expecting to suck the following year (esp. if we end up with Limas Sweed anyway). Also I think it's a little premature to put a fork in the Niners considering how poor the back half of their schedule is. But all the same, if the Pats win AND have a top-10 pick in next year's draft, I'm going to find Sports Guy (even if he leaves the country) just to kick him in the face.
