Just finished my Monday column comparing Steelers' Rooneys vs. Cardinals' Bidwills -- two families that long have owned NFL teams. The Rooneys have been and continue to be the gold standard. The Bidwills long have been a joke and a disaster but that is changing.

Which leads me to a thought. Niner fans always could console themselves, no matter how bad things got, their franchise was not as bad as Arizona. That has changed. The Yorks, it seems, have slipped beneath the Bidwill level. Every NFC West team has gotten to the Super Bowl this decade except, you guessed it, the York Niners.

I'm going to sign off now -- sorry to be so brief. Have a whopper cold, want to take a nap and wake up to watch the Warriors game on TV.
