I'm rooting for Peyton. I couldn't care less about the Panthers; think it's too bad the Titans and Marcus Mariota didn't get too far this season; and am very glad Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers flamed out.
Being a 49ers fan, I'm mildly inclined to the Panthers as part of the NFC. On the other hand, I have many friends who care about the Broncos and there is something magnificent about Manning's last turn of the wheel.
FWIW, I also have a soft spot for the Patriots because they have more than once in the last decade knocked down the 49ers' major foes in the division: the Rams and the Seahawks.
And I feel terrible for Mariota going to a franchise which can't manage a quarterback's development. We know about that around here; we have that problem too.
It's all pretty convoluted and enjoyable because it doesn't really matter ... :-)
This San Francisco purveyor of graffiti has it right. When times are bleak -- when country and planet sink under the barely restrained sway of greed, raw power, and fear -- it's time to restate what matters.
I write here to preserve and kindle hope for a national and global turn toward multi-racial, economically egalitarian, gender non-constricting, woman affirming, and peace choosing democracy that preserves the habitability of earth for all. There's a big order -- but what else is there to do but struggle for this? Not much.
Topics range from the minuscule to the transcendent to the global, from dire to delightful. I am not an optimist, but I refuse to allow myself to wallow within the easy bias that everything is going to always be awful. Good also happens; love lives too.
I've been yammering here about activism, politics, history, racism and other occasional horrors and pleasures since 2005. I intend to continue as long as the opportunity exists. In this time, that means activism and chronicling resistance. Perhaps it always has, one way and another.
I'm a progressive political activist who runs trails and climbs mountains whenever any are available. I've had the privilege to work for justice in Central America (Nicaragua and El Salvador), in South Africa, in the fields of California with the United Farmworkers Union, and in the cities and schools of my own country. I'm a Christian of the Episcopalian flavor; we think and argue a lot. For work, I've done a bit of it all: run an old fashioned switch-board; remodeled buildings and poured concrete; edited and published periodicals, reports and books; and organized for electoral campaigns. Will work for justice.

We can all be glad Tom Brady and Bill Belichick won't be in the Super Bowl. #peytonslasthurrah? #peyton #deflatedballscandal
