That’s not accurate, I think I’m being dramatic. Just a bit though. I’m not feeling great, and it stinks that the Niners lost, but we don’t get together weekly for me to be a Donnie Downer. I was going to joke about not being a Debbie Downer and a Seinfeld reference, but I’m not sure people would take offense. If you could piece together what I was going to say: congratulations. You’re thi...
