Since the ’Niners are in the National Conference and the Raiders in the American, the only post-season game in which they could meet is the Super Bowl itself, which is not a “playoff.” Again, the creators of this strip call their credibility to comment on the sports scene into question.

Tonya Harding? It should have said Nancy Kerrigan (the victim), as Harding was convicted of nothing more than failing to report her live-in fiance (a reconciliation from a previous divorce, yet) to the police when she learned what he had done.

Subsequently, the impending nuptials were understandably cancelled.
