I am a professional sports photographer. I recall when that happened, and it was an amazing thing. Having gotten run over by a number of linebackers, you are always afraid of hurting some prime draft pick with broken glass. You never think about how you could get hurt.

Getting run over is not usually a gift from God.

One of the classiest and talented players in the NFL.

Tomorrow will be the last football game played in this life-saving stadium.

There's a very small chance yet one more game could be played there. Niners are the fifth seed right now. If they win out, they could host the sixth seed for the NFC championship, if the sixth seed could get there. That looks to be the Saints right now.

Highly unlikely... But (in my best Berman voice) that's why they play the game...

I met a little girl who was hit in the head by a baseball at a game. Physicians discovered a genetic disease - too late to change its course for her but in time to treat her little sister who was also affected.

Strange world.

Same kind of thing happened to Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester. He was slightly injured in a car accident which lead to x-rays revealing cancer.

How likely was it that the Cardinals would beat the Seahawks today? While it’s very unlikely, the 49ers could still win the NFC West. Go Niners.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping the Cards would lose so the Niners would clinch a wild card. But they can still clinch if they beat the Falcons tomorrow night.

Nice to see Seattle lose, though. They CAN be beaten at home.

And, yeah, go Niners!

Clinching a wild card would be great - winning the division would be better. Go Niners.

The new stadium, is it Sodomite Stadium? Phallic Arena? Poofter Field?

We can do this all day...

Levis Stadium. It’s in Santa Clara, 40 miles or so from SF itself.

Can Levis change the name a bit if they have a new product?

Could it become Levis Butt-Hugger Jeans Stadium or something?

Not sure if you've been to SF lately, but that subculture is more on display in Austin TX these days than it is there.

SF is an increasingly Chinese and Mexican city - more new immigrant than old decadence of late.

It’s still a lefty hell-hole, where 800sq/ft houses sell for upwards of $1mil, and the homeless have more rights to the sidewalk than you do, no matter how pretty it is.

Oh, the town's got serious issues, no question.

But it isn't 1978 anymore - the city has changed in many ways demographically.
