In case you missed it, there was a big fight this weekend. Stensation was nice enough to pass along that picture, which clearly shows the vanquished foe in the Rand corner. We presume it’s just an amusing crop from “MGM Grand,” but one can never be sure. If you squint and suspend disbelief, that could be us after a ravaging night on the town. And we only imagine it’s a matter of time before Marthaler photoshops our face onto that picture. So be it. Bring it on. Because nothing can really bring us down after a surprisingly awesome Saturday/Sunday of sports. McLovins? Gophers men’s hoops and hockey? Wild? Vikings? Wins for everyone. To top it off, we eked out a fantasy victory in our League of Record, the Funk Funk Fantasy Football Federation, on the strength of Marion Barber and Randy Moss (and definitely not the strength of starting Vince Young instead of Jay Cutler, nor Thomas Jones getting stopped at the half-yard-line, nor Jamal Lewis getting a cheap one for our opponent in the closing seconds). RandBall: Tell us about your fantasy team. Nah. That’s enough. Beg as you might, we’ll go instead with a few observations:

*Shaun Hill, it was decided by our Sunday viewing crowd, looks like a cross between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. Shake and bake! We’ve never seen anyone so excited to score a TD that made a game 27-7, with the excited one being the 7. Linnemann thought the reaction was garbage. We were more willing to let the guy have his day. Linnemann also hates puppies and holidays. Go figure.
*49ers lineman David “Delicious” Baas might have the biggest head we’ve ever seen. They showed him after a penalty, and it looked like they had to shoot him upward with great force to get him into his helmet.

*That Vikings game was a great kind of boring. They control their playoff destiny. That is ridiculous. More on that later, hopefully, in the Meltdown.

*How did the McLovins beat the Suns? They’ll never go 8-74 like that.

*This was mentioned on the Sunday broadcast, but can anyone believe the Patriots will get the 49ers’ first-round pick next year via a trade SF never should have made? Unbelievable. New England could go 19-0 and win the Super Bowl, then draft in the top 5. That piece of information on the broadcast, by the way, was the one thing that didn’t make us dumber for listening.

*Did Jon Kitna make a failed prediction, did God fail Jon Kitna, did the almighty taint Jason Hanson’s right foot, or what?

*Um, and Anthony Smith probably won’t do that again. By the way, Tom Brady has 45 TDs and 5 INTs. He is a better quarterback than Peyton Manning, and it’s really not even close.

Fasola-link! Can we agree that the 80s never happened?
