Bye Week Open Thread/Nomination Process for "our election."

Since the 49ers have a bye week, I'd imagine most 49ers fans are just relaxing watching a little football, or getting away from it for one Sunday.  If you happen to be around here, we've got this open thread for your enjoyment.  There are plenty of solid games, including a big NFC West showdown between Arizona and St. Louis.

Also, with the election coming up this Tuesday, I thought it might be fun to have a vote for what NFL-related ticket would make for a good president.  I'm thinking we could come up with 5 or 6 tickets to vote on and I'll throw the ballot up on Tuesday.  Mind you this would not be meant as a discussion of real politics, but rather fake sports politics, if you will.

What I'd like people to do today is throw out nominations for potential tickets that would go on the ballot.  So for example, Jerry Jones and Jed York could be a nomination.  You'd get the experienced veteran in Jones and the young fresh-faced York.  If you feel like nominating somebody include a brief description for why you're making the nomination.

I'm not sure if people will find this remotely interesting, but I figure it's timely and gives people a chance to get a little creative.  So make your nominations, give us your reasons for the selections and we'll get the vote going on Tuesday.

huizenga-davis

the similarites to mccain-palin are palpable—

wayne huizenga: erratic owner who, over the past 20 years, has only been interested in his own well-being…likes to make rash decisions about hiring and firing (sold shula down the river, hired jimmy buffett…i mean johnson…tapped wannstache as his replacement…fired wannstache despite having the 2nd best record in the league during his tenure…hird cameron cameron???…fired cameron cameron one year after hiring him)…did a few good things (marlins’ ring before the fire sale, panthers in the stanley cup), but overall hasn’t gotten anything done when it comes to the most important stuff (see dolphins and "choke").

vp choice: machiavellian, once-popular certifiable nutjob who is known to “go rogue”

I don’t see how you could possibly go without Davis/Cable.

Al Davis is the ultimate Presidential nominee.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

The All=Concussion Ticket!

Troy Aikman and Trent Green.

Together, they have one whole working brain and can remember most things!

Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com. It's not being updated right now. Hope for more at your own risk.

The Illiterate Ticket

Emmit Smith and Shannon Sharpe.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized God doesn’t work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness. - Emo Philips
