Thanks for a GREAT Season
Niners!!! We Love You Man!!!
The Daily News
1 Niners.
2 <huge sigh>
3 No jabbering. I’m tired of listening to jabbering.
4 Great game.
5 I KNOW there is much more news, but to me?
6 Great game.
7 It was one of the greatest Super Bowls in history. It had absolutely everything.
8 Did the better team win?
9 I’ll leave that for the ages.
10 Were we robbed by the no-call?
11 Clearly.
12 It is what it is.
13 We could have scored on a call, but there was still time left.
14 And the Ravens came to play. They looked unbeatable. Then WE looked unbeatable.
15 It’s still reeling in my head.
16 So I’ll part early. We should never have had to rely on a no-call. And yet…
17 28-6 with 12:10 left in the third quarter, and the final score 34-31?
18 Great game. STRESSFUL game, as my former student, Jason Cuascut put it live from New Orleans. He was at the game. I can’t even imagine.
19 It’s too late to break down the entire game, but the best way to remember this game is that two awesome teams fought to the bitter end. They both proved that there is no such thing as perfection. But they fought, exposing weaknesses, and fighting a bloody battle.
20 History will show that these teams were closely matched, that the first half showed how awesome the Ravens were, and the second, how amazing the Niners were, and what both did to get to this game.
21 I’m fine. I’m not quite equipped to do an in-depth breakdown of the game when it is two hours past my bedtime on a Sunday night.
22 If I learned anything about this game, it is that the Super Bowl must be moved to a Saturday.
23 Seriously.
24 The “seriously” came from my daughter Caitlin.
25 We need a movement.
26 Americans worship God on Sundays.
27 Why interrupt it with such nonsense as the Super Bowl?
28 Uh..Christians? Rise up dudes. Make some noise.
29 The Super Bowl is becoming more important than God. And that is not right.
30 John Lennon forgot to say, “And that is not right.”
31 But I digress.
32 Who’s with me?
33 Move the Super Bowl to Saturday.
34 If anything came out of this game, it’s that two teams run by the sons of the same parents fought and fought and fought.
35 They looked like mythical gods. They were powerful, but showed a lot of human weaknesses. Strange gods, but gods we worship, if we are true sports’ fans. I’m not EVEN gonna lie. That’s what we do.
36 Our strange gods should be worshiped on Saturday.
37 Somebody else embrace that cause. I’m too exhausted to even think about it.
38 Even to think.
39 Normal human games are okay to be played on Sundays.
40 The Super Bowl should be moved to Saturday. It is the ultimate sporting event. Let’s allow people to recover on Sunday. Let’s let people go to church on Sundays, and remain focused.
41 Let’s let atheists and agnostics be free to relax on Sundays.
42 I hope you are taking this all with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
43 Great game.
44 Congrats to the Ravens for a great battle.
45 And congrats to the 49ers for a great season.
46 Have a great Monday.
47 It should be Sunday, but whatevs.
48 Fly low.
49 Peace.

In agreement with all of your points. As one who arises at 4 a.m. on workdays, I love the Saturday idea.I still don’t like Ray Lewis very much, but I was happy for the other Ravens, especially Flacco.We’ll be back next year. Kaepernick’s only going to get better.
