There was something off about NFL Sunday this, err, Sunday. It started with the 49ers/Rams game, which featured the most pathetic offensive first half since the forward pass was made legal.

It was a victory San Francisco desperately needed. Even with every poll leading up to the election predicting exactly what ended up happening – a landslide victory for Barack Obama – the air was thick with tension in this liberal city by the Bay. On Monday night, the nervousness...
