Ramon is feeling the heat and love that comes from including Burton Cummings in a comment. Hey, if you don’t want to be the Commenter Of the Week, don’t mention The Guess Who lead singer’s solo career. And lay off the pug. She just wants a little something to eat. This had nothing to do with the pug. Ramon?

The Proprietor, in his infinite discombobulation, left me a Late Nite without David Letterman email crying for 300 words so he can slack until he gets up to walk his pug. So what I’m pulling double shifts, haven’t been able to give Mrs. Ramon the good loving she deserves, or even put a few ice cubes in my late nite post-work glass of whiskey.

The Proprietor’s selfish, and if I had the energy I’d drive over there and leave some rotting Fresh Wok egg rolls on his front stoop. But Mrs. Ramon won’t let me; she’s been waiting all night long for me to come home so she can rant about the officiating last Sunday.

I’m a little insulted to tell you the truth. But not as insulted I’d be if I bought a NFL Football team for over 600 trillion dollars from a used-car salesman from Texas who paid 40 bucks for it – and who gutted the team (trading Moss) after he made the agreement … and knowing that even Jacksonville fans thought I was stupid for doing it.

I hate defending any major sports league owner. I can abide by homers ripping on bad decisions – but not bad intentions. Not to say Wilf didn’t make bad strategic moves – firing Tice (even if it was a good move), hiring Childress (even all of the bad game-time coaching moves still don’t outnumber Denny’s or Mike’s); spending an overdue amount on one-fifth of an offensive line.

But hey: I’m saying, let’s learn with Zygi. Let’s grow together. He hasn’t made the concrete overtures of moving the team (as Red did), he’s spending money in local property and team infrastructure (Winter Park upgrades) … and he’s even given us Adrian Peterson. Put him on probation. See what Pohlad’s gonna do (Does anyone else feel the downfall of the Twinkies happened when Batgirl left town?). Chill out on the Wilf.

Until week 11.
