People have been making vaguely muffled noises about the possibility of bringing free agent Kurt Warner to the Jets.

You know what they say:  The older the fiddler, the closer to retirement.

Initially, it seemed like a forgone conclusion that Warner would return to the Cardinals after last year’s incredible Super Bowl run.  The latest news, however, is that he’s heading to San Francisco to meet with 49ers coach Mike Singletary. This could add yet another hitch to the already implausible fantasy that involves Warner playing for Gang Green.

But take heart, dreamers.  Warner did say that he was leaving the choice to God, and we have no idea what the odds are that Mike Singletary even makes it through this meeting with his pants on. Something tells me that that will not work to the advantage of the 49ers when it comes time for God to make this most important of decisions.

Me, on the other hand?  I always vote for the person who gets that pants are the roadblock to inspiration.  Those also tend to be the people who understand how funny it is to give someone the finger.

Which, by the way, for the record, I totally did over the weekend.  It was a bridal party in a Rolls-Royce, and let me assure you that it was partially accidental and completely deserved.
