How do you like that 49ers. You haven't even seen Gibbs yet

I think Jamo was created in a lab. That dude is a Jedi

Do you think the Fox Broadcast has been told to cut to pictures of Tay Tay watching the trophy presentation?  

Funny. I jumped over there briefly. Camera was on a closeup of her while Kelce was holding the trophy

Unless you're a Swiftie or KC fan, I'm guessing *nobody* is watching the Lamar Hunt trophy presentation

Just logged in. Is there a Lions game today?

Watch this if you dare (viewable if you click the "Watch on YouTube" line). How cathartic would it be if the Lions win tomorrow on a Badgley walkoff.

 

Yeah thanks for the horrid memory. Monte Clark's insanely stupid game plan still irks me to this day. Their strength was the run game, yet he had Danielson mostly throwing throughout the first half - using Billy Sims sparingly. The Lions finally came to their senses late in the game and started feeding Billy - who of course single-handedly brought them back into the game. Had Clark rode Sims from the start I think the Lions win that game

Levi's is much closer to SJC. Of the three Bay Area airports, I would also say SJC is my favorite (followed by SFO, followed in a distant 3rd by OAK).

I wouldn't be opposed to calling them the Santa Clara 49ers. 

Depending on the airline, sometimes you can find cheaper flights into SFO than SJC, but you're absolutely right. San Jose airport is right there, like 5 miles from the stadium

This time will be a quick 24 hour trip for me but I've been to the Bay Area several times before and totally agree with you about the sights. One of the most memorable sporting days I've ever had as a participant rather than as a spectator was 10 years ago running the Miwok 100k ultramarathon. Took me a bit over 13 hours in the middle of the pack. Stinson Beach start at 5am, Muir Beach, sunrise view looking down at the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, a big cat plonking itself in front of the table at the final aid station causing us to wisely bypass it (locals knew whether it was a cougar or bobcat or mountain lion but I forget which), etc. Glorious.

Very cool.

Almost forgot to add...  any golfers coming out here for the game, go play Pebble Beach. I know it's $$...  but c'mon. It's Pebble Beach

It's always been a football town.

Speaking of football towns...   seems to me the 49ers should change their name to San Jose 49ers at this point. Calling them “San Francisco” no longer makes any sense. A few NFL teams do play a bit outside their home cities (i.e., Cowboys, Dolphins), but they're really not all that far. The 49ers pretty much play out of a different major city now. It’d be like moving the Lions to Toledo, but still calling them “Detroit Lions”

Anyone flying to the Bay Area for the game… sure hope your plan isn't to go right back home after it. Makes no sense to come all the way out here and not stay for a couple of days. Any visit without a trip to Napa, or Monterey, or… hell, even Muir Woods… that’s  a wasted trip. Weather will be nice too

Another streak that needs to end...  Lions road playoff record (since 1970): 0-11

Skip Bayless:

"Congratulations Lions. You have won the right to get blown out at San Francisco. But hey, great year."

Today, we are exercising all of our Same Old Lions demons and embarrassing moments. I know I am missing many moments here, but today we cast out SOL from this franchise and this team. In its place we have the Brand New Lions. SOL be gone, it is time for BOL!

• Old Man William Clay Ford Sr. buying the team the day Kennedy was assassinated.
• Bobby Layne being traded.
• Monte Clark praying the Eddie Murray kick would go in.
• Passing on drafting future hall of famers Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, and Darrell Green to draft a fullback.
• Having the owner's drinking buddy Russ Thomas as GM for nearly 30 years.
• Lions Head Coach Daryl Rogers asking "what's a guy have to do to get fired around here."
• Wayne Fontes that wasn't my cocaine.
• Sterling Sharpe wide open in the playoff game at the Silverdome.
• Wayne Fontes worried about scoring too quickly.
• Germaine Crowell cutting to stay in bounds to run out the clock.
• Bobby Ross abandoning ship.
• Lions lose 2000 finale at home to Chicago Bears.
• The best player in NFL history, Barry Sanders, retiring via a fax.
• Bill Ford Jr, hiring Matt Millen to run the team.
• Charles Rogers begging the Lions not to draft him.
• Marty taking the wind in overtime.
• Dan Orlovsky runs out of the end zone.
• Calvin Johnson and the process of the catch.
• Jim Schwartz throwing the challenge flag when he wasn't allowed to.
• Stephen Tulloch’s discount double check injury.
• Matt Flynn gets a big contract because he beats the Lions.
• The picked up flag in the Dallas playoff game.
• Aaron Rogers hail mary pass. The batted ball against Seattle.

• D'Andre Swift dropping a game winning pass against the Bears.

You forgot:

Ha, if I bring the beer and steaks can I watch it with you instead of paying for a ticket. My flight into SFO arrives at 11am. 

👍

maybe if you get a 2nd mortgage ? 

Yeah no doubt. I'd rather watch it on TV anyway. Santa Clara weather for next Sunday should be sunny and 70ish. I prefer to grill

I'm happy as a pig in sheet! Who's going to San Francisco?

I already live out here. Santa Clara is just a few miles away. Probably won't go to the game though

Lions are 1 win away from the Super Bowl? Didn't see that coming this year

Don't give up a quick score here!

Sun God says take that Pro Bowl and shove it up your ass

D just needs to tighten up now. Can't turn this into a shootout

Man I just had a feeling Gibbs was about to break one

Okay this is your quarter Lions. Let's get this done

Damn. Bucs just won't go away

Ben Johnson is giving people heart attacks

2nd and goal at the 2. My god why not punch it in from there?????
