My humble football commentary

Now That’s Entertainment!

David Akers Fake Field Goal Attempt

.

In case you haven’t noticed, I watch a lot of football.

That being said, I saw four things I have never seen happen on a football field before, and they all  happened in the same game: 49ers vs. Rams.

  1. A fake field-goal attempt
  2. A star kicker throw a great pass to a receiver
  3. A receiver celebrating a touchdown by giggling like a little girl
  4. A referee trying to stop laughing long enough to make the ruling on the field
On his way to the goal line

It was goose-pimply awesome. I’m sure the neighbors heard me screaming, but they are used to it. If the Rams had pulled this play on us, I would have screamed in the other language I am fluent in – French.  Thankfully, English and the 49er’s prevailed.

Wha-Hoo! Bye week, here we come.  I can’t wait to see what we can pull off against the Packers  😉

For Pete's Sake, compose yourself and make the call!

Hey! Girls Like Football Too

~ JodiLea

Dang, that 2nd half sucked yesterday! Not if you were a Cardinal’s fan I suppose.  But I have every confidence that coach Harbaugh and the Niner’s will learn from their mistakes, get Patrick Willis healthy again, and be a major force for the Steeler’s to reckon with next Monday. I mean MAJOR FORCE!

Being the 49er fan that I am, I could not resist outfitting my granddaughters with NFL approved winter sportswear.  I don’t even have cool winter sportswear. I do have an official 50th anniversary 49er’s jersey, however.  I got it when I tried out for the team. Well, kinda. But that’s not the point…

When I was at the check stand  (if your store sponsored me, it could be plugged here…) the clerk says, “Your grandson’s will love these!”. I smiled and corrected her, saying “I have granddaughters”.  The clerk, a girl herself, seemed shocked and didn’t say another word to me.

As I drove home I heard on the radio (your station could be here…) about their fabulous 49er game coverage coming up and then adding “Guys!  Stay tuned for how to win tickets to Monday night’s game against the Steeler’s”. Only a minor irritation compared to television.

Hey! All you major networks (your network , etc….) out there. You need to find other sponsors for Football games. There’s a lot more to life than Big Ass Trucks and Beer. And please up the level of intelligence on the advertisements. Especially the holiday ones. Just because we watch football does not mean we have low IQ’s!

There.

I feel better now.

What The 49ers Should Be Thankful For

~ JodiLea

Because today is Thanksgiving, I planned to write about gratitude and thankfulness. I have so many things – some big and some small, to be grateful for.

But enough about me.

I could not help my beloved 49ers because the Force was NOT with me tonight. Even though I was wearing my official 49ers 50th Anniversary jersey and gave myself a mother of a headache.  Maybe because Baltimore is across the country. Maybe the Dark Side is stronger there.

In an effort to ease their our pain, let’s focus on what we should be thankful for this (football) season:

Alex Smith is alive to quarterback another game. Despite being sacked 11 times, grounded 8, and generally foiled at every turn.

Not one 49er got put on the injured list.  A miracle considering the brutal intensity out there.

Our coach is better looking. And taller.

We are now 9 – 2. Yes, we should be thankful for that. We wanted to be 10 – 1 after tonight, but get over it.  We are 9  frigging  2, people! Remember last season when we were 0 – 6?  We would have gone over to the Dark Side to be 9 – 2 and you know it…  😉

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!
