Let’s go, people.

I can say that we now have at least 2 things in common – both love fantasy football and both have our own bobbleheads.

The fantasy rambling is obviously in the past, but you’re sure to enjoy a little banter with this accomplished star and friend of the Freak Nation.

Listen to Harmon and Lundy with Rainn Wilson.

Harmon & Lundy Kick Things Off in Denver

We know this.

There was an assault in a restroom during the game that leaves a fan clinging to his life.
Two people were shot in the parking lot, one of whom was wearing a shirt that read, “F The 49ers.” He was shot between two and four times in the stomach and was in critical condition at last check. The other shooting victim sustained wounds to his face.

JT “The Brick” , a staple on the airwaves of FOX Sports Radio and a member of the Oakland Raiders broadcast team, offered a unique perspective of the post-game breakdown in security and civility with “The Fantasy Freaks” on Sunday morning. He used a phrase on our show that perfectly encapsulated the events and spoke to the unique setting of Candlestick Park.

“Escape from San Francisco” was the line used to describe what he and Raiders legend George Atkinson saw in the parking lot following the game. Click to hear his account

For those unaware of the geographic location of Candlestick Park, it is located next to “Candlestick Point,” a virtual island off of the highway. There have been some condos built in recent years and there are great views, without question.

I can say this from traveling that road a number of times myself. Traveling to and from the stadium is a long, arduous and stressful process. JT spoke of an unsettled atmosphere in the crowd as the game went on and how things spilled over after the final gun sounded.

Here’s the latest SFGate.com update on this story .

But the vast majority of our first hour was dedicated to the golfing world. We pondered the rise of young Rory McIlroy and discussed the state of golf in this post-Tiger era. With an eight-stroke, record-setting run through 54 holes coming into Sunday, skeptics feared another meltdown. Pundits waited to see signs of a crack in McIlroy as the round started. The cracks never came, as McIlroy finished the deal and posted a record -16 for the tournament, besting Tiger’s 2000 effort by four strokes.

Whatever he did to finish the deal, be it a George Constanza-inspired “opposites” approach, film review or push-ups, McIlroy came out and attacked the course and finished off the round (he shot a 69). McIlroy has led seven of the last eight rounds in the majors. That’s enough to raise an eyebrow. That’s enough to get that “Next” word falling out of the mouths of pundits, scribes and fans.

It’s enough to say “I can’t wait to see what he does next.” And it might be enough to get the casual golf fans back to the tube or to add a few folks on their Twitter or Facebook pages to spy happenings at each course.

It will be THE story as we begin a new week. We’ve had our fun with the horrific singing efforts of the champion Mavericks and Bruins. We’ve talked about the legal wranglings in the NFL far too much. Baseball’s really just now getting rolling, and the NBA Draft class of 2011 has been widely panned (though I’ll be blogging on Thursday!).

How can the PGA capitalize on this? They have the floor with “the next big thing” emerging in 2011. How do you package him? How do you get in there and sell, sell, sell?

Do you have to?

Is his play enough?
