Re: The 49er Packer game

I am not a fan of either one, so I didn’t care who really won. Actually I leaned GB because the 49ers play in San Francisco, and San Francisco is .... Well San Francisco

However, the announcers were so in the tank for Green Bay it was beyond annoying (Yes, I get it, at any moment Aaron Rodgers can come back and score really fast, enough already).

So I am kind of happy the 49ers won just to shut them up

Aikman is in no way a Packer fan. I cringe whenever we are forced to have Aikman and Joe Buck.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed it. Buck needs to stick with baseball.

I am a Niner's fan and I will say this about the officials:

Those were some pretty generous spots that both teams seemed to be getting on a regular basis.

(not complaining, just observing)

You are insane. Joe Buck & Troy Aikman are the 2 biggest Packers haters on TV.

The 49ers have likely played their last game in San Francisco. The team is based in Santa Clara, about 50 miles south of San Francisco and right in the heart of Silicon Valley. The team headquarters and practice facilities are in Santa Clara. And starting next season, the 49ers will play their home games in a brand new stadium in Santa Clara. It makes sense - most of the season ticket holders live well to the south of San Francisco - that's been the case for decades.

Santa Clara and Silicon Valley aren't exactly a different world from San Francisco, but they're not the same, either - Santa Clara is a quiet suburb full of single-family homes technology companies. No homeless people screaming or urinating or defecating on the streets, no parades you couldn't take your children to. The 49ers will continue to keep SF in their name and on their helmets, but that's about it.
