As mentioned in an earlier post, Josh and I are NFL Fan Free Agents.  We have been making an exhaustive search for an NFL team worthy of our emotional investment for the next 5 months.  We have unanimously chosen to take our fan talents to the Bay Area and the San Francisco 49ers.  Here’s why:

1. I respect the coach.  Big 10 guy.  Hard nosed.  Winner.

2. Alex Smith has persevered as the QB through some tough times.  I like that in a QB.

3. Frank Gore is a stud RB.

4. Defense is strong. Love the LBs.

5. They play outside on grass, the way football should be played.

6. I can root against Pete Carroll at least twice a year.

Thanks for your input.  Other teams considered were the Lions, Chargers, and Ravens.  We feel good about our decision.  Let the season begin!
