NFC Championship Game: Giants at 49ers(-2.5)

Received this e-mail from a friend who lives in San Francisco. Pretty neat story.


So I was just walking home from the bus after work tonight. Heading up Vallejo St. towards my apartment. This dark-haired guy in his early 30's in a suit and his girl are up the street about 15 yards coming towards me. Got my 1980's 49ers gold satin Starter jacket on.

I had worn it to work Monday, skipped wearing it Tuesday, then debated this morning whether to wear it again today. Kinda felt a little dorky, but I have been having way too much fun again being a Niner fan. So I chose to wear it again and stick out like a sore thumb in SF's Financial District.


As we pass each other the guy turns and asks "Hey you going to the game Sunday?". I take a couple steps and turn around, and say "You know I'm not sure, I went last Saturday (to the Niners epic win over the Saints) and it was incredible. I'm not sure, though - I don't have tickets and need to get them."


The guy pulls a pair of big, commemorative Niners tickets out of his suit pocket. I look up and realize it's Jed York, the 49ers owner.


ME: "Jed?! No, I can't believe it! Nice to meet you! How you doin'?!"
JED: "Nice to meet you, too. Love the jacket - love seeing that around town."
ME: "You've got to be having so much fun right now, huh?"
JED: "Yep, it's been incredible."
ME: "I had such a good time at the game Saturday. Can't believe this, you made my year, man - thanks so much."
JED: "Absolutely, this is my wife Danielle by the way."
ME: "So nice to meet you - I'm Marz Garcia. So, what are you doing here?"
JED: "We're going to dinner at Firenze. Just heading over now."


Firenze-by-Night is the most down-to-earth Italian place in North Beach. Great place, but nothing fancy. Real fun scene, though. Ferol and I just ate there a couple weeks ago. So cool that Jed would go there for dinner.


They were both so gracious and friendly - obviously I can't be anything but a big fan at this point. Danielle got us a picture - attached.


Got home and checked and they're 50-yard line seats. I could sell 'em for a couple thousand bucks but here is no chance. Called my buddy Carter who immediately booked his flight up from LA - and off we go on Sunday!


Needless to say, I am flying right now. One of those special moments when fate touches you. I feel so lucky.


The moral of the story: don't be afraid to fly your colors!!

I guess I'd be ok with either teams advancing now that we can't have harbaugh v. harbaugh.

No.... For the sake of an entertaining Super Bowl, the 49ers absolutely HAVE TO WIN.

If it's NE-NY, NE will do the Giants so dirty as redemption from ruining their perfect season.

THat's why I ended my rant with Go 49ers. Shut up TooTall, you'll agree with anything anyone says :lol:

Agreed. :biggrin:

On a side note, maybe it's the fact that I watched the first game on my computer but Fox's broadcast looks REALLY good in HD!
