So childish...why not to give all 8.000 bucks to children's hospital and forfeit that stupid act?

Yeah, that kind of spending doesn't sit well this time of year

 

I saw a story on the news the other night about a little girl with cancer...........and she really wanted to get on the school bus and go to school with the other big girls in her neighborhood

 

Her parents worked it out with the school district to allow her to register one day

 

And her family was beyond joyous.......just to see her having one normal day at school..........like other kids

 

It gave me the much needed reality check that I need this time of year when I start to feel bad about the things I cannot do and the gifts I cannot give to people

 

When in reality,I just need to appreciate all the wonderful healthy people in my life

I don't mind it. It's building up the rivalry in a good-humored way (rather than drunk fans fighting with each other because they're more "passionate"). And I like how they're giving money to charity too. True, they could give it "all" to charity but you could say that about every donation. When Peyton, Brees, Brady donate money, they could certainly afford to "give" more. It's not realistic (and maybe even fair) to expect that.

Exactly as it stands some niner fan had the idea to raise money to fund a billboard, with the extra money raised there is a donation being made to a children's hospital...

Had the money for the billboard not been raised, then people probably would not have donated that money, & it definitely wouldn't have been going to that particular hospital, either way I think it is sort of funny & the Children's Hospital does get a donation...

but I am not a fan of the Seahawks or Pete Carroll, so there is that too...

It goes both ways. Seattle fans have a brick in the Niner's stadium because they donated to the upgrade fund, and even paid to have their fan banner flown on one of the flag poles when they were playing at SF. Its just good natured rivalry stuff.

You could say that about anyone of the bourgeois establishment, especially these athletes that get paid so much money just to throw balls and catch passes. It can apply to anyone with money.

It looks like the 49ers fans are upset about the beatings the 49ers sustained at the hands of the Seahawks the last couple of times they visited Seattle.

Seattle just brutalizes the 49ers in Seattle while the 49ers squeak by on a last second field goal at home against the Seahawks.

The best way to create a rivalry is to demonstrate your athletic prowess on the field. Forget a lame digital billboard. Philanthropy is fine, but some sophisticated form of materialistic advertising adds nothing meaningful to live competition on the field. 

 

Donating to a billboard fund is not the same thing as donating to the Red Cross, Habitat For Humanities, or another worthwhile charity in my mind. What a waste of time, money, & resources...SMH...

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      I wasn’t being serious.  That’s why I included the smiley face at the end.

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      Ballard has been saying it for years that the trenches are where it’s at. Doesn’t matter what era of football has been around, you control the line of scrimmage and you control the game. He has accomplished it on the O side of the ball but has tried for years to get a DL that can do the same. I think we will see it come together this year and into the next two.

      Harrison Played Mostly At Safety In Mini Camp.

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      Harrison, Cross, Blackmon and Thomas is not a terrible group. Someone obviously needs to step up and play beside Blackmon at his level. I think there is enough ability with those four to roll with them into training camp and see what happens.

      Pass rush.     That is the key.  Control the line.  Make him make plays.  Make him uncomfortable.  Hey, if he Stroud beats us with his talent and we’re making him complete these great plays, then chalk it up to the game.  But we can’t allow him (and any other qb) to be comfortable and pick us apart.     I hope we see our front 4 provide that pressure because that will make everything else much easier.  I honestly believe we have the corners for our scheme in Moore, Brents, and jones.  But we don’t have the pressure.  Or the FS unfortunately.  Our corners jobs in this scheme isn’t to run step for step with wide receivers.  It’s to stick with them and prevent YAC.  Moore is the best nickel in the game, Jones was one of the best corners PERIOD in preventing YAC, and I think a healthy Brents will be good too.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By smittywerb · Posted

      Agreed.  After this last off season, I kind of give Ballard a pass on taking long to find a certified DE (if Latu pans out).  Like QBs, they don’t grow on trees.  You either have to draft one high, get lucky with one in the draft, or sign one in FA for loads of cash.  All I can ask for him as GM to do is try.  He hasn’t been perfect by any means but at least he’s tried with the DE position specifically.   i also think Shane being here has changed his thinking.  Before, Ballard might’ve went with Turner due to the higher upside.  But maybe Shane differs and wants proven players.     Either way, I’m glad we possibly have our stud at a premium position for the next 5 years at a cheap rate.     And gotta thank the Falcons for us landing Latu.  Lol
