So do people in SF not give a [expletive] about football anymore? Must be Pelosi amirite HCF?!

 

Probably something to do with the Giants winning the World Series.

 

And Alex Smith sucking the life out of football in that city.

I can't believe that Gus Johnson was the announcer of the Jags-Texans game.

 

Bill Simmons is going to lose his mind.

 

Texans (+1.5) over JAGUARS

The Law of Gus Johnson is sweeping the nation: He's called four straight weeks of games that were genuinely exciting (Jets-Lions, Bills-Chiefs, Bengals-Falcons, Chiefs-Texans) and this battle between two David Lee teams (all offense, no defense) looks like No. 5.

 

I keep mentioning the Law of Gus without ever really defining it, so let's do it right now. If Gus Johnson is calling an NFL game, the odds quintuple that (A) the lead will change hands in the fourth quarter; (B) someone will complete a long pass in a big moment that will make Gus' voice hit an octave only dogs can hear; and © the game will go into overtime or at least come damned close. It seems impossible that the mere presence of an announcer would alter the course of the game, but here's my theory: I think God sits in his Man Cave on Sundays and says, "Which game is that Gus Johnson calling? I get a kick out of that guy. I think I'll make his game exciting and see if he completely loses his mind."

Sadly, he hasn't gotten as many good college basketball games recently.
