lamboyant former San Francisco mayor and longtime California Democratic political giant Willie Brown had the right idea for his family's NFC Championship party last Sunday: barbecue ribs shipped from Corky's in Memphis.
This batch of ribs was a gift from a guy from Tennessee expressly for the Browns to enjoy them during a 49ers playoff run. Even though the Niners fell short of winning a berth in the Super Bowl, they did at least get far enough for the Brown party to enjoy the ribs, which didn't disappoint:
People go online to get windows, doors and all kinds of exotic things; I go online at Corky's to ship barbecued ribs and barbecued pork. Corky's sends you slabs of ribs on dry ice and they send along sauce, the salt and the pepper, and if you want, they send other things. You're better off just sticking to the meat. All you need to do is heat them.

I assume the ribs would have had to have been frozen to wait for next year if we had not made the playoffs. There were 15 or so people and we ate everything.PICTURED: Then-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown holds up his World Series tickets during a press conference on Oct. 22, 2002.
