These are not the Niners of old: They run a lot more than in those days. But Kapernick is showing an ability at QB that may prove the equal of Steve Young and Joe Montana.

I’d like to make a request: So that we may all enjoy the Super Bowl, I request that no #TGDN tweets be posted while the game is on.

Crap. There goes the odds for my football poll block getting hit.

13-3

Baltimore 14-3 over SF. Recovered a SF fumble and then drove 75 yards to score. (For the benefit of those who can’t watch it on TV.)

This is partly about trying to rehabilitate Bush/Cheney and the Iraq War, an almost certain lost cause. The ship has sailed and it’s unlikely history will reinterpret this as a huge success or Bush as a great prez.

But there’s also a thrill the Hoftians get from the mere idea of harming and degrading the enemy. And it’s not healthy or productive in any way.

Nice….

Blocking Beyonce for half of the stadium with that screen.

Is Beyonce wiggling her wiggly parts?

Over yet?

Special effects aren’t really special. They are overused and make it look like Beyonce is hiding something. This’ll make the “Is she really singing?” conspiracy trolling even worse.

My friend posted a whole Beyonce concert on Facebook for me to watch….I watched part of it, skipped around, I liked the old standard she did, ‘At Last’. That was about it.

She’s no Etta James.

Well, if it was a Die Hard movie the terrorists would have already released their biological weapons and Bruce Willis would have killed them all and found the secret aerosol mass antidote. The credits would be rolling.

With an obligatory “Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!”

re: #186 Vicious Babushka

Am I the only person in the whole wide world who did not enjoy Beyonce’s performance?

My personal opinion is that they decide whether they want to do musical acts, or big synchronized dancing numbers. If the latter, stop paying pop singers millions to dance in front of the big numbers and just do a good dancing act with piped in music. If they want music, then think it through and find acts that fit the venue and length of show. Which would probably be going back to using 30-40 year-old rock acts I guess.

I’d settle for a couple of damned local marching bands. I’m here to watch football, not some pop event bullshit.

Might get that next year. Meadowlands is outdoors and northern New Jersey. So there are additional factors in play in deciding what they think they can run on and off the field quickly - and how it might affect the surface in weather.

re: #229 Charles Johnson

Can we get a power outage instead of the game next year?

Bleh.

FB Post:
This just in: Wayne LaPierre says that the blackout could have been prevented if there’d been more armed guards in the Superdome.

I forewent (past tense of “forgo”?) the Holy Game of Hand-Egg to go beat around the local area on my new-to-me Triumph Street Triple… Holy cow, what a machine… Beats the pants off of watching millionaires throw balls at one another any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. I am thrilled to bits, and so very, very glad I bought this bike.

Anyhow let me get the hate-o-rade out of my system, ‘cuz I’m feeling pretty smug right now.

FOOOTBERRRRL ROBBLE ROBBLE DERP DERP!

/sorry

Finally.

Oh goody, can it finally be a game?

49ers finally get a TD.

re: #239 Gus

Finally.

Crappy tackling technique. Going for the “big hit” rather than wrapping up. :p

Random power outages could really take this tired old game to the next level.

Superdome? Nah, let’s make it the Thunderdome. NOW we’re talkin’.

I wish my eyes could un-see that commercial.

I liked the pistachio Gangnam style.

Well, there was the Gangnam Style.

This is turning into the Stupor Bowl.

Now, now, boys, don’t fight. That might actually make the game interesting, and we can’t have that.

re: #245 Feline Fearless Leader

Yeah the one where the guy is trying to get his favorite T-shirt off the random babe he woke up with. EWW. What was that commercial for? Gap or Fruit of the Loom?

49ers are finally waking up.

FAIL.

If you are bored, Buck and War on Music are still going at it on the aigle thread.

Boom! Damn.

Hey, the 49ers have finally awaken. I hope it’s not too late.

Destro seems to have joins the DERPing over there.

we’ve yet to see either 49ers or ravens cheerleaders, or am i wrong?

TD SF

28-20

Used to have to go to a tired ass titty bar to get that quality show.

Good block to seal the side on that run

That 84-minute nap seems to have done the 49ers a world of good.

Well, then.

Holy pants.

Finally turned the safety off on their pistol offense, I see.

Beyonce’s burleykew performance?

*Inb4 rage at power outage skewing game.*

They’re gonna be talking about the Lincoln commercials at work tomorrow. I think they should not have used the a guy (maybe the same guy?) doing the voiceover who sounds exactly like the Chrysler guy.

re: #265 Vicious Babushka

Yeah. What little I saw was pretty lame. Not even what someone like me would call family friendly unless brought up in a Bangkok bar.

The Clydesdale forgives the guy who left her for an F-150.

49ers can’t let the Ravens score.

Shouldn’t. Or something.

One more TD and PAT and I am golden (2 pointer or failed 2 pointer will screw me).

re: #269 Vicious Babushka

He probably traded the horse to Bud for a couple of cases and a used F-150.

Whoopsy. That’s going to come back to bite them.

re: #268 dell*nix

You think that’s bad, you should have seen me doing endos in my kitchen while watching Beyonce. Bangkok stylee.

FUMBLE!
