Well, the good news is the NFL has decided to kick down $200 million to Jed to get the new Santa Clara stadium byuilt. Word is, the ground-breaking will be ‘soon.’ Whether Santa Clara was hoodwinked by the 49ers or not, the 49ers have received an $850 million loan from Goldman Sachs, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, and U.S. Bank to finance the construction. I don’t see Santa Clara getting screwed over by this deal a la Dirty Al and Oakland. The team being down there will generate tons of money for the city, and at some point in the not-too-distant future, Santa Clara will get a Super Bowl of its own. Granted, most of the hotels are in San Jose and San Francisco, but hey, residuals, taxes, and cash will still rain down on them.
While necessary to keep the team here in the Bay Area, this santa Clara stadium is pretty much a double-edged sword for me, as the new stadium will be wonderful, and spiffy, and costly. And further away for me. That being said, I think 65-70% of the fans come from the peninsula, so the driving difference isn’t that big a deal. I’m sure with overruns, the final cost will be near $1.3 billion. Which means that Jed will pass the cost to the fans. I have no idea of the pricing structure coming, but seat licenses are skyrocketing, and the seats themselves are as well. For a spot in the new stadium, fans must pay a one-time fee for the rights to a seat, and club seats range from $20,000 to $80,000 each. Then they must buy the tickets, which can cost $325 to $375 per game. However, Jed said those prices apply to only 9,000 seats. “There’s definitely going to be affordable seats for everybody in this building.”
Affordable for who? Mitt Romney? I guess well just have to wait and see what this brings. Word is, if they get humping on this soon, they could be ready for the 2014 season. That would be great, but it would also be sad to not have the team playing in San Francisco, the Niners’ home for the past 66 years. Carmen Policy, hired to try and keep the team in the City, said recently that San Francisco is still a solid Plan B for a stadium site. Good for you, Carmen. The only way this comes about is of something majorly stupid happens. Like Jed York caught on tape trying to buy liquor and gambling licenses with a briefcase full of cash from and undercover FBI agent.
As far as the Super Bowl goes, about the only thing I’ve seen about it was Madonna dogging Rob Gronkowski about his ankle. She told him, tape it up, take an anti-inflammatory, and get your butt out there. Apparently Madonna is also on the shelf with a hamstring strain. She says she’ll gut it out though. Don’t know how she’ll get through the usually interminable half time show. Like I said, I’ll be skiing. NE bursts Coughlin’s bubble.
San Francisco 49ers Forever 
Pats barely beat the Ravens at home. The Ravens have a dogmeat passing attack compared to the Giants. Giants D is not as good as the Ravens, but it’s pretty darn good, as we saw to our chagrin. I’ll take Brady over Manning, but Brady will be under a rush, and he’s not mobile. I gotta take the Giants by 10, but I’d prefer the Pats to win. Why, I’m not sure. NY 30, Pats 20….
Well Madonna did tell David Letterman that there would not be any wardrobe malfuctions, she said something about been there, done that. Certainly not at the SB, but….
I hope that Pat win, I am going with what the KNBR crew said earlier in the week. I hope the team that knocked the Niners out of the SB get a beat down. Royal beat down. don’t really care what the score is as long as one of my squares on the 3 SB pools I am in wins!!
Fuck the Giants. I want them obliterated. Embarrassed. 48-10. Some shit like that.
What’s disturbing to me is that the Niners would probably have bashed the Pats. The Niner D would have sacked and hurried Brady, and totally stopped the run. Even Alex could probably have thrown a coupla TDs on their sorry D, and special teams would have kept the Pats in bad field position. A sixth Lombardi trophy was definitely within reach…
Yup. That’s why I have little interest in watching this. It pisses me off that it came down to that muffed punt. One chance with the ball and the lead, and the Niners never got it.
It’s kinda the way I felt with San Diego beat Pittsburhg in the last minute in 1994. I wanted to play the Steelers for a few reasons. One, to shut Terry fucking Bradshaw up, but mainly because it would have been a much better game. Sure, I loved watching the Niners demolish SD, but beating Pittsburgh would have been aesthetically better. SD had never been, but Pittsburgh? MUCH better win . . .
Yeah, “even” Alex with his 101 postseason QBR, 5 TDS. 0 INT, and the leader of the greatest 4th quarter comeback in postseason history ( 2 lead changing drives in last 3 minutes, 80 and 85 yards). Alex would obliterate the Pats defense..
Obliterate?
Brady obliterates defenses.
For this, his first ever season of success, Harbaugh’s allowed him to passed through teams like a dose of salts. Effective, but messy…
As fellow Smith hater Kawakami now says “Whenever I start thinking about this, I go back to what wrote in the summer and it rings more true now: Smith is dying to get his real NFL career started.
It has finally started. Really, REALLY started. Neither he nor the 49ers should want to halt it again.”
Now try to get over it, We understand it with Denny, haterd for Alex keeps him from the final swan dive.
Do any of you guys rooting for the Shitriots happen to care about Montana’s 4 SB win record in jeopardy? Don’t tell me that you’re so pissed off at the Giants that you’d prefer stupid Tom Tuck Brady to tie Montana for that record…ugh!
Who cares? Bradshaw got 4 before Montana. Otto Graham won 8 titles.
The Giants don’t deserve it. Fuck ’em.
BLEEP IT!
One of these luck out teams is gonna beat the other. I hope it’s the Patriots in the Fluke Bowl by a large margin
Pats will win big……book it! Ha ha…..
If Bill Bellicheat has his cheat book, then they will win big….
“Some” credit MUST go to Tom B, it not all cheatin;. Bellichek did not help his-team’s cause playing fast and loose!
Man, you guys are crazy. Throwing Montana under the bus for Tom “Cruise” Brady? Where’s your JOE pride? Me…well, yeah, I guess I’m biased, that punk got his rise to stardom on the post-9/11 “Patriotic” Tuck rule…..a.k.a. FUMBLE! And went on to steal a SB….so, if the Giants pull it off on Sunday (and they will) keep that in mind….playoffs are all about luck sometimes. Or bullshit calls….or muffed punts…or…
Raiders!
Jeez Chuck, hit the spell-check button now and again. Have fun skiing. I am looking forward to the game, I think it’s going to be exciting and high scoring. I see both teams scoring into the 30’s maybe even the 40’s. Bet the over hard and laugh all the way to the bank– that way you don’t have to root for anyone, dig?
Flavor has pointed out, correctly, the gutsy game Manning had against us-but this also needs to be said: if Smith threw 26 incompletions, averaged barely over 5 yards per attempt, and only won because of two errors by the NY special teams, he’d be getting no credit for the win from the Snarkklers out there. Fact is, he was the best QB in both of their postseason games.
Tomorrow: Brady is certainly the best QB but Manning faces that horrid defense. Death Threat and others might recall that I told you that Flacco would shred them. On the other hand, NY really is a 9-7 team on a lucky roll. 31-20 Pat.
All in fun
It’s good see to the cloak of deception being lifted and Death Threat back to his ignorant hating ways. As the QBRs show, Flacco and Smith clearly outplayed Manning and Brady. NE and NY were the beneficiaries of dunderheaded mistakes by 2 scrubs and a keeker. The 3rd and 4th best teams are in the playoffs and may the best undeserving team win..
Wait, what?? A QB who went 1 for 13 on third downs and only stayed in the game because of two passes to the tight end played better than Eli? Eli made things happen in spite of the 49er pass rush all day. Granted, Alex was superb in the 4th quarter of the Saints game but other than that he was pedestrian. Brady and his offense will score points against NYG but the Giants are a more balanced, dynamic team and if any team is lucky to be in the SB, it’s the stupid Patriots with their hideous defense and a Ravens kicker who missed a chip shot field goal.
Ain;t no spellin errers in my shit.
Chuck has done mastered the fine art of writin’ with a drawl. Sure to piss off any English majors tho.
Sham, since yer a Raider fan, I’m sure the tuck rule game still haunts you. Like I said, Brady’s an alum of my HS so, I don;t give a shit if he ties Montana.
If that had been the 49ers who got screwed by the “tuck” rule, you’d be haunted,too. And Jimbo Harbaugh invoking the “tuck” rule in relation to the Bradshaw “fumble” after the Giants game is just blasphemy. Speaking of, while Coughlin is getting ready to win another trophy, Harbaugh is off somewhere working on his putts and strokes.

Nurse promises to wake you to change your diaper…
Dennis likes brownies.
The nurses don’t appreciate them though.
I’d argue with you Dennis, but why bother? You and Spitty and NoFear should start your own horseshit whiner blog. How Alex dropped you on your head when you were born, and thus caused your life filled with misery.

Alex did it Harbaugh’s way and loved it!
All in fun
Harbaugh is one smart cookie, he knows who earned him that award,
Team’s gonna be dynamite next year and on into future: Why?
1) Owner? CHECK!
2) GM? CHECK!
3) Coach / da Coaches? CHECK! CHECK! CHECK!
4) Playas? CHECKS! Many more CHECKS.
One a these days da fans are gonna see this team of Harbaughs is Back (to where we once belonged). Then, dimly at foist, the whining, bitching. pissing and moaning of da re-dickless fans at:-
1) The QB
2) The Ownah
3) The GM
4) Da coach
5) What-evah
…IS gonna sound more n more like, well. re-dickless whining, pissing and moaning of da clueless.
14-4 shoulda shut ’em up by now but NO, SO giving scorn where scorn is (over) due, some are just SLOW, real real slow, to notice the trend. Even when it’s screaming in their faces. 14-4!
Only abject Fail-yah will please some a dese “fans”. ‘Fans’ who are gonna be … disappointed just like this year.
The rest of us? Party’s on people!
All in fun
No, you are FOS, you’d rather finish 8-8 with Choker Boy than 14-4 with Alex. As I said, at least your cloak of of deception has been lifted. I’m surprised to find that Death Threat is your most appealing schtick…
The glass was full, then it was half full so I finished ‘er off and refilled that sucker. On average the glass is half full for me. ‘Sides I’m kinda desperate for good times with our fellers
Another feel good story about the Yorks. It’s low on details as usual in the media, but if true, the value they’ve put on the Niners for this purpose is flat laughable. They have other reasons to establish as low as value as possible. Nonetheless, the bad PR of this off a great season isn’t good, but probably won’t have legs. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/02/05/BA311N2U5G.DTL&tsp=1

Have some more brownies.
Have another year of your Raiders missing the postseason.
Dennis your drivel is wearing thin. To say that 14-4 is a wasted season is just soooo much BS. There are no more dynasties! Get over it.
Kevin, you missed my entire point. I don’t expect you to understand.
How much longer before they drag that dryed out skank into the middle of the field?
Alex Smith is performing at half time?
Rim shot !
Hey, Phil Where’s your list of blogger predictions for the Super Bowl? I always look forward to that each week. I especially enjoy the captions you use for each guy and his prediction. Lord only knows what you’ll say about mine. Here goes nothing…
New England 34 The New York Football Giants 24
Did you guys actually think I would pick against the Golden Boy? If I were to stumble across a magic lamp and the genie would only grant me one wish. I would wish to be Tom Brady.
But don’t tell Tony Romo that. 😛
Denny I haven’t been following anybody’s predictions for the SB so I just a few:
34-24 Patriots Del Mar
30-21 Giants my brother Lyle
31-20 Patriots Phil
Who had the prop bet of a safety being the first score? Go to the bank.
That is a new one on me, the safety
All in fun.
My award for best early commercial goes to M&M. If only for the brunette.

Go Pats! Skiing fell through. Took the son (and his buddy) golfing instead. Missed the 1st Q, saw the drive at the clubhouse. Pats O line looked real good on that last drive. It’s al about the adjustments now.

No matter what ha[[ens here, the Giants likely go 8-8 next year and miss the playoffs.

Eli should write checks to all his WRs.
All in good fun. He can ban either one of us, you think really think I give a shit, Death Threat?
Criminy, Dennis. Give it a rest.
What in the world is Denny talking about? He told the us the threats, the rifle sight on Obama, this was all in good fun..it wasn’t?
Yay. Fuck all y’all.
BLEEP y’all!
Yer playing yer part, Mike.
Sorry, Chuck: you made your choice, and this is the shit you got.
Well, today at least, you did ruin it. I can’t follow shit for shit on this thread, lol.
Who cares, I’m assuming I’m not missing much of Denny’s bullshit
Sorry, DTD, ruining this blog tonight is supposed to me my job so here goes…
….BIG BLUE!!!!!!!
Don’t forget your RAIDERS!
ElI is MVP!
Alex needs some WRs like the Giants.
“All in fun”…yeah, right. Looks like it’s anything but for you, DT.
He’s cleaning out the stable in his mind.
As you can see, I deleted the last 25 posts. Sorry to throw everyone out for the indiscretions of a few, but this blog isn’t a forum for infighting amongst you guys. I do this for fun and to talk about the 49ers. Misrepresentation will not be tolerated.
Keep this going (and you know who I mean) and I’ll do it again.
