"I realize Roger Goodell has told the officials that he desires a Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce sloppy kiss on the 50 yard line after a Chiefs W in the Super Bowl, BUT I STILL INTEND TO GET THERE!"

GO GOFF!

---

It's Purdy vs. Swift now.

Don't hate me, I'm rooting for Purdy.

---

Not that it matters much, but if the Niners win we would lose the potential East Bay fan base for good. No chance they will root for an elite research university with a mediocre football program when there's a winning pro team across the bay

---

What cities with pro teams and Universities have bigger fan bases for University football?

---

I would imagine Detroit was full of Michigan fans before the Lions started having a resurgence this year

---

That's a good example. I don't know enough about Detroit to know it's true. . The Lions still sell out even when bad but Michigan does also and has a bigger stadium by 1/3. You might be able to make a similar case in Ohio with the Buckeyes. Both Michigan and tOSU represent state Universities that the whole state adopts, similar to the South, but in the Bay Area- Stanford and Cal have fans that are more affiliated with the schools not the casual football fan.. The pro football franchises have always had bigger bases

---

It is not all or nothing. I grew up in LA rooting for UCLA and the Rams. USC still has unaffiliated fans with the Rams and Chargers there. I know someone from Seattle who is a Husky football fan even though they went to Gonzaga. Tom Hanks is a Cal fan who grew up in Oakland and went to Chabot. I have a cousin who is a Stanford season ticket holder even though he went to Sac State.

---

How do we know Tom Hanks is a Cal fan? Do we have any proof of him being a Cal fan in the past 20 years. Yeah, there's that clip. But he also has since sported Stanford gear...

---

His eyes lit up and told Costas he would trade an Oscar for a Heisman "if it could be as halfback for the California Golden Bears." THAT is a fan.

He probably had to wear the Stanford gear because he lost a bet with Reece Witherspoon or his son Truman (who went to Stanford).

Actually the best example is Seattle. Plenty of room to be both a Husky and Seahawk fan. If we had Stanford's on field success over the last decade we would definitely have a ton of fans. Without it, we will lose fans to pro sports, no matter how much the competition thins out

This is when Tom said it:



This is what Tom looks like recently:




I'm not convinced he's a Cal fan unless he has done something to express his Cal fan-ness in the past 20 years.

I hate to say this as a born and raised Oaklander, but Purdy seems like a pretty decent kid. He says the right things after games. He is humble and that goes a long way with me.

I think Taylor Swift is a positive force in society, but I am f@ucking tired of the traveling KC carnival (and that includes her bestie, Mahomes' annoying wife) so I will be rooting for Purdy.
I need Goodell to get that tired schtick outa my face!

I'm guessing Ms. Juicy (wife of Niners FB, whatever her name is) is not going to knit her a custom Super Bowl jacket?

Wrong running back.
It's Kristin Juszczyk.

Goodell, are you kidding? Taylor Swift is way bigger than the NFL. Her involvement with the NFL is estimated at increasing revenues by 300 million by Apex Marketing. Taylor Swift and the NFL are the two most valuable cultural institutions in the country.

The comely Ms. Olivia Culpo.


* I read the Daily Mail daily. That keeps me hip/hep, or does that term out me as a late 1960's/early 1970's stoner?

"It's good to be the King."

*If I was his life coach, I would advise him to marry that attractive girl he liked in high school or college in the days before he had $65,600,000 in career earnings at the close of the 2023 season. She probably would even stand by his side when CTE comes knocking.

*I had a high school buddy that qualified for the PGA tour and married a hot groupie. After a couple of years he lost his card and his wife. She moved on to a better player.

Olivia Culpo saves the day and shells out big money to buy Christian McCaffrey's mom, Lisa, a Super Bowl suite for her birthday after Lisa said they couldn't afford the price tag:

Apparently she isn't that poor.... Christian's mom calls both her son and Olivia "moneybags."

Top 3 QBs in terms of pocket manipulation:
Geno Smith
CJ Stroud
Jared Goff

All of them move at elite levels in the pocket but maintain great base balance or are able to get back there crazy fast
