Today's Bizarro (drawn by Tulsa native Dan Piraro) features a vision of Tulsa's future.
It seems that in the year 2223 the Tulsa Truffles will win Super Bowl CLVII.
I did some checking, and oddly enough Piraro isn't writing science fiction, but science fact.
It's pretty hush hush right now, but, in fact, the U.S. government does have a working time machine, which is kept in the basement of the White House, although at this point scientists have only been able to get it to work for things like comic strip gags and Saturday Night Live skits.
The last serious attempt to use it to actually influence national affairs resulted in the election of Jesse Ventura as governor of Minnesota, leading scientists to suspend future research.
I have some pretty good sources in D.C. and after making a few phone calls was able to find out some details about Tulsa's football future.
It seems the Truffles were known as the Kansas City Chiefs until 2011, when the team officially gave up on the game of football and joined the local duplicate bridge league.
The NFL transferred the franchise rights to former Mayor Kathy Taylor who located the team at Chapman Field until the new 100,000-seat Lobeck Stadium was completed in 2015 at the former site of Tulsa Hills shopping center.
The stadium was rebuilt at the same location in 2065 and again at the new center of commerce for the city, 1235th Street and Lewis Avenue. The third version of Lobeck Stadium used the new levitation technology, allowing the 250,000-seat structure to float 25 feet in the air, allowing for easy access by hovercraft.
The following year, 2066, the team won the first of 23 consecutive NFL championships before the league was dissolved into the International Football League in 2067.
In the first year of IFL competition, the Truffles lost the championship game to the Shanghai Generals on a controversial sixth down pass that was good for 156 yards and the deciding 4.5 points.
The defeat would be the teams' last for more than 156 years. The city officially changed its name to Tulsa Truffles Champions of the World in 2106. With the passage of the 44.6 trillion Vision 2127 measure, the city again changed its name to simply, Truffles, but a taxpayers' backlash led to the cancellation of the 86 percent sales tax after only three months, and the city's name was changed back to Tulsa.
The rest of the team history is classified information, but I can hint to you that the cloning of Sam Bradford proved to be a great boon to the city and the sport.
