There are many 49er fans in Palo Alto.

Well why don't you just unsubscribe and stop wasting our time bitching....eh?
Jim February 4, 2013 at 06:30 pm
This does not relate to Palo Alto, please don't waste my time with this junk. I subscribed to thisRead More because I am interested in Palo Alto, not because I have no other news source.

Palomar, Well said comment! There should have been an early pass-interference call on the 49ers asRead More well. If the refs had been making calls in the early game, players would have had to play by the rules throughout. Instead they let there be numerous late whistles and late hits (where one guy had the runner stopped with a tackle and then other guys were allowed to hit him--very physically dangerous and with game-changing possibilities of injuries and fumbles) and also over aggressive shoving/fighting after the point (mostly started by the Ravens). I thought the officiating was poor and changed the nature of the game. Wasn't this almost the fewest penalty calls that these teams have EVER had? (I'd like to hear those statistics.) Did these teams change that much from their previous season play that they now weren't doing penalties? I doubt it.

The game was very entertaining for fans of both teams. That is why you watch. The 49ers played likeRead More a young team. Flashes of brilliance and moments of stupidity. The non-calls by the refs changed the ebb and flow. Their performance was pathetic and that is supposed to be the 'best' ref crew the NFL has to offer. Bad calls and non-calls never even out. I expect to see the game played by the rules. I am not sure what the ultimate outcome would have been if it was properly officiated but it most definitely would not have been the same game I watched. What a disgraceful display by the NFL on their biggest stage.

It's is VERY hard to get into the Super Bowl in the first place. So the idea that the 49ers areRead More going to definitely get back there next year is wishful thinking at this point. It's unlikely, but I hope they do!

Hi you above, I was wondering, how come you get to post with a picture? It looks very nice. You haveRead More a really nice smile, can I meet you?

@Barb Valley And now we all know regularly I watch 49ers games. lol So that's why they call himRead More that. I thought the monicker had something to do with the prospectors having poor hygiene standards that lead to pungent breath.
Barb Valley February 1, 2013 at 10:28 pm
Vanessa, You broke the code! Here in California Boudin is pronounced bo-deen. And here's aRead More SuperBowl tie-in: During the Gold Rush sourdough bread was so common that “Sourdough” became a nickname for the gold prospectors. When the SF 49ers run onto the field Sunday they’ll be led by their Mascot, Sourdough Sam. .

Another cutie. JJ, thank you for conquering your fears to show your team love!

One correction: they were 50 minute heats.

Thank you everyone.

Stunning photos!

The Live Festival over-promised and under-delivered. I suspect the revenue generated will indicate aRead More success, but that would be the short term view. Organizers and city planners: please make the necessary improvements so fans will support Mavericks in future years. By concentrating on improving the user experience, you will be making an investment in the Half Moon Bay City brand and the Mavericks brand. This year was a miss…but the organizers and the city have a year to make the plans to get it right.

This is one of those events that you have to get to close to when it starts. 8am, negativeRead More commenters, not noon or 1pm.
Krista Kessler January 21, 2013 at 01:03 am
Even the live feed sucked. It seemed like the server couldn't handle the traffic (what do you expectRead More when we can't see it in person?). It took a while to actually load the page, and when I did, it cut out a ton.

Many awesome memories, but has to be Joe Montana to Dwight Clark in the end Zone.

All great memeories by everyone thus far. My family is in it's 64th consecutive year aa a seasonRead More tix holder and we were fortunate to have attended three. In New Orleans in 1990 the restaurants were so crowded, you had to share tables and we were lucky to sit with Denver fans the day before for lunch and dinner. All they could say was how everybody in Denver knew they were going to lose and that they were just happy to be there. Final score: 55-10.
Casey Reppas January 20, 2013 at 02:38 pm
Will be watching 49ers game today though hope they win
Casey Reppas January 20, 2013 at 02:37 pm

Moss beach distillery will live webcast on their 65" tv and the Niners game as well.
Robert Livesay January 19, 2013 at 02:03 pm
Sure does produce a lot of revenue and with that comes sales tax dollars. Not bad
Richard Bortolazzo January 19, 2013 at 12:18 pm
After all, it is just a game...
Irene Aida Garza-Ortiz January 18, 2013 at 11:51 pm
That's how Fans roll!
Jo March January 16, 2013 at 09:15 pm
Thanks for the response. I knew that you can't get near it but I've heard that some places aroundRead More town set up big screen TVs for viewing as well. Maybe we'll try the mall parking lot but I imagine that's a zoo.
Dave January 16, 2013 at 08:53 pm
Where did Mark Sponsler see swell charts that show 60 feet? All the swell charts list 20 feetRead More max...and where did he get his report of a big storm? Weather Sunday is expected to be clear. Perhaps stopped by his local Herbal Store before reading the charts.....
Brian Ginna January 16, 2013 at 07:49 pm
Not anywhere near the contest. They are closing off all access. You can watch it in the mallRead More parking lot, for a fee/donation, or watch it in front of your computer. Or your boat, if you have one.
