Week One: 49ers 28, Rams 25
We kept telling our friends as they set up for kickoff at Candlest--err, 3.com--err, San Francisco Stad--the place where the 49ers play, "Hey, the Niners are gonna win this game." Everyone else in the room said, "You are high." And "No," we said, "we are not, unless by 'high' you mean 'correct'."True enough, the 49ers got out to an inexplicable -- by 2004 standards -- 28-9 lead. A punt return for a touchdown by rookie Fred--errr, Otis Amey helped set the tone. And they managed to hold on for their first win in regulation time since December of 2003. And for...get this, 49ers fans...
...sole possession of first place.
Yeah, 'd'you see that in the Green today? Well, we didn't, 'cause we're not from San Francisco but anyways. We've no reason to be sheepish about sporting our outdated "GARCIA 5" jersey, at least for a week or so. Until next week when the Niners play the Eagles. Do you believe in miracles? Actually, we don't. Back to Earth next Sunday.
