49ersFangirl
My journey as the 49ers Fangirl began on January 14, 1990. It was on that day that as a young girl, I traveled to San Francisco with my family for the 1989 NFC Championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. A native Angeleno, I was rooting for the Rams. Then at some point, in the middle of the second quarter, I turned to my mom and said, “I love Joe Montana.” And that was it. I became a die-hard, gold-blooded Niner Faithful and never looked back.
Tracy Sandler and San Francisco 49ers and 49ers Fan GirlAs a teenage girl, I watched every game, dressed in good luck outfits on game days – even if those days were Monday and I had school, educated my teenage girlfriends about Steve Young and Elvis Grbac, while discussing Tom Rathman, Jerry Rice, and Ricky Watters with my teenage guy friends. I cried when the Niners lost to the Giants in the 1990 NFC Championship game – damn Matt Bahr field goal!
Instead of a Sweet 16, I went to Dallas for the NFC Championship game, which did not turn out nearly as well as the Rams game. I was a little older at that point, so I didn’t cry, at least not on the outside (same for Super Bowl 47 and the 2013 NFC Championship in Seattle. I was there for both – kept the tears inside, at least while in public). I’ve cheered on every quarterback from Montana to Young to Elvis Grbac to Jeff Garcia to Alex Smith to now Colin Kaepernick. From 14-2 to 6-10, I’ve stayed strong.
A sportswriter in college at The University of Michigan – Go Blue! (yes I have conflicting emotions about the whole Jim Harbaugh thing, happy to discuss), I decided to start a blog during the 2014 season. I pace during games; I stand during the 4th quarter; I don’t eat on Sundays. My dogs – one of whom is named Kappy – have jerseys. I am convinced my white Kaepernick jersey can be the difference between a win and a loss, while my red Kaepernick jersey is more fickle. I fly to Santa Clara from Los Angeles for every home game. I have a blog about the red and gold. I am the 49ers Fangirl. Like the team, I’ll make you laugh; I might make you cry; but together, we’ll get through it bleeding gold and staying Niner Faithful forever. GO NINERS!
Jimmy Garoppolo is 3-0 as a starter for the San Francisco 49ers, and man, does this feel like a different football team than the one that started the season. And that’s mainly because it is.
Garoppolo has not only solidified himself as a franchise quarterback, but he has breathed life into an offense, and into a team, that desperately needed it. With all the excitement that Garoppolo brings to Santa Clara, Eric Branch (http://www.twitter.com/Eric_Branch) of the San Francisco Chronicle joins me (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) and Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) to talk about this new era of 49ers’ football and what it means for the future of the organization.
We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope you enjoy it too! Go Niners!

Hello 49ers fans! The Jimmy Garoppolo era is off to a great start, as the new starting quarterback led the Niners to a 15-14 victory over the Chicago Bears in his first start. Not only did he make his receivers and the offense better, but the defense was on the field for far fewer plays, making that unit stronger and more efficient as well. Garoppolo is a legit QB, and the San Francisco 49ers have found their piece to that puzzle.
David Lombardi (http://www.twitter.com/LombardiHimself) from The Athletic joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and me (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) to talk about all things 49ers, including:
The new QB of course - The feeling in the 49ers’ locker room and throughout Levi’s Stadium - The upcoming game against Houston - The benefits of winning, no matter what that does to the Draft - And the top needs the Niners have going into the offseason.
Thanks for listening! Go Niners!
Hello 49ers Faithful. It’s official. Jimmy Garoppolo will start Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Kyle Shanahan informed his quarterbacks earlier today.
When C.J. Beathard left Sunday’s game with knee and hip injuries, Garoppolo came in and dazzled. He was in for three plays, but those three plays were a four yard scramble, a nine yard pass to Aldrick Robinson, and a 10-yard TD to Louis Murphy. Like I said, he dazzled.
With Beathard getting beat up week after week and not being 100%, it is no surprise that Shanahan has decided to see what Garoppolo can do. For his career, Garoppolo is 65 of 96 for 708 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. Here we go.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, TheFootballGirl.com’s Melissa Jacobs joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) to talk all things Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers. It was at the end of the podcast that we got the breaking news that would Garoppolo would start Sunday, so that was good timing.
Listen to hear:
• Our predictions for Sunday’s starter before we knew for sure • Our thoughts on the matchup with the Chicago Bears • Our take on the Eli Manning benching • And a lot about Jimmy Garoppolo.
Thanks for listening! And as always, Go Niners!

The bye week has come and gone, and the 1-9 San Francisco 49ers continue their home stand as the Seattle Seahawks come to Levi’s Stadium November 26 for a division rival showdown. Well, they’re rivals. Showdown may be strong for 1-9 vs. 6-4.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) welcome FSGN’s own Seahawks Fangirl (http://www.twitter.com/SeahawksFGSN), Christina Kaplan, to talk about the matchup. We discuss:
• The Seahawks “atrocious” offensive line • Why Russell Wilson is so dangerous • The rivalry between these two teams and their fans • Who we think will be under center for the 49ers • And why Steph and I think the red and gold just might win this one.
Thanks for listening and Happy Thanksgiving Faithful!

After nine painful losses, the San Francisco 49ers finally got a win and are 1-9 heading into the bye week. Even though they were playing the dismal New York Giants, the 49ers played well, played hard, and gave us a glimpse of what this team’s future could be.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph and I are joined by 95.7 the Game’s Bonta Hill (http://www.twitter.com/BontaHill) and 49ers blogger Rich Madrid (http://www.twitter.com/rjmadrid) to talk about the win and the 49ers.
Bonta, Steph and I talk about the game, the quarterbacks, and the rebuild, while Rich talks a lot about Colin Kaepernick, the state of quarterbacking in the NFL, and being a veteran among all the discussion of anthem protests.
It’s a very interesting pod that delves into a lot of issues. I hope you enjoy it, as much as we enjoyed recording it. Now, enjoy the bye week. Go Niners!
The San Francisco 49ers may be 0-8, but they have been busy. The traded a second round pick to the New England Patriots for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and sent cornerback Rashard Robinson to the New York Jets.
For the first time in a long time, the 49ers quarterback situation seems to be solidified, and fans can breathe easy on that one.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Marcus Thompson (http://www.twitter.com/ThompsonScribe) of the Athletic joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) to discuss:
• Kyle Shanahan, quarterback whisperer? • The trade for Jimmy G • The Robinson trade and what it means at corner • If I could play left tackle (yes, you read that right) • What the rest of the season looks like for the Niners • And why Steph and Warriors’ fans don’t need to panic.

Hello Niner fans! Even with the San Francisco 49ers being 0-6, Sunday promises to be an exciting day at Levi’s Stadium. It will be C.J. Beathard’s first start at quarterback, the first home game since September 21, and most importantly, it’s “Dwight Clark Day.”
The 49ers will honor the beloved former 49ers’ wide receiver, and it could not be more fitting with the Dallas Cowboys coming to town. You know, “The Catch” and all.
49ers’ team president Al Guido joins the pod to talk:
- What the team has planned for the day
- Who will be speaking at halftime (you will not want to miss it)
- The various changes inside Levi’s Stadium and those that are coming outside the stadium
- And the player protests and the support they’ve received from Jed York and the organization.

The San Francisco 49ers are now 0-4 after losing in heartbreaking fashion to the Arizona Cardinals. They have lost their last three games by a combined total of eight points, which means they’re close, but they can’t seem to finish games.
This team is in a rebuild and that’s the difference between good teams and building teams. Good teams have playmakers that can make the game-winning plays; rebuilding teams are still looking for it.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) are joined by Tim Kawakami (http://www.twitter.com/TimKawakami), Editor-in-Chief of The Athletic SF, to talk all things 49ers. Tim gives us a lot insight, including:
- The keys factors in Sunday’s loss and what the 49ers are missing Brian Hoyer vs. C.J. Beathard
- An interesting thought of what the 49ers could potentially do sooner rather than later at quarterback
- The main reason for all those penalties, and it may not be what you think
- How much patience the organization is going to have with Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch (hint: a lot)
- And the secret to Tim unblocking you on Twitter.
Tim was a fantastic guest, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

It has been an incredible week in the NFL, with players, coaches, and executives around the league coming together in protest about comment made by President Trump. This past Sunday saw teams staying in the locker room for the National Anthem, kneeling, and linking arms. It was a movement started by Colin Kaepernick, and it is spreading around the league.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph and I discuss a number of issues, including:
- The power of the anthem protests
- Steph’s article on Kaepernick and being a female sports fan (http://fangirlsportsnetwork.com/nfl/49ers-fangirl/cant-stop-talking-colin-kaepernick/)
- Why we’re thankful to Colin Kaepernick
- Why we’re proud of Jed York and the 49ers’ organization

- And we preview this Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Hello 49ers fans. Well week one of the NFL season is in the books, and it was not a good one for the San Francisco 49ers. After a lot of offseason excitement and optimism, the Niners opened the season with a 23-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
A lot went wrong, but a couple of things actually did go right and there is reason to believe that this team will start to gel and improve as the season goes on.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) take a look at the game, as well as next week’s matchup in Seattle, including:
• Reuben Foster, his strong play, and how gets the fans pumped up. He looked great before leaving the game with an ankle injury. It remains to be seen how much time he will miss but head coach Kyle Shanahan said in his experience, these things take about a month. • the woes of the offensive line and why we hope next week will be better • the reality of Brian Hoyer as quarterback • the improved run defense and improved defense overall • the Seahawks offensive issues and what that could mean for Sunday • And some positive ways to look at the upcoming season.
The 49ers won their last two home openers and those seasons went down from there. This team will improve, but it is in a rebuild, and it’s going to take some time.

Hello 49ers fans! The 2017 NFL season is upon us and there is a lot of new in Santa Clara. The 49ers have a new general manager, a new coach, a lot of new players, and a new attitude.
To start season three of the Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) are joined by 49ers’ Vice-President of Communications Bob Lange to discuss:
• The new show chronicling the Niners, "Brick by Brick" • The new additions at Levi’s Stadium that bring in the past and celebrate the president • The new food options at the stadium • Marquise Goodwin and what he brought to Brick by Brick • The changes in the organization that are important to the York family and to everyone in the building • And then, Steph and I preview the season.
Thanks for listening! We’ll be back in two weeks to discuss week one against the Carolina Panthers and preview week two against the Seahawks. Go Niners!

Hello 49er fans! The NFL Draft has come and gone, and the San Francisco 49ers are looking like a team with a vision, a future, and a plan. After making six trades to get the players they wanted for this year, still ending the draft with 10 new players (and that doesn't include the 18 undrafted free agents they signed), and picks for the future, the Niners are in a much better place than they’ve been in awhile. General manager John Lynch did a masterful job with the draft, and he and Kyle Shanahan are off and running.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) discuss the draft and the team, including:
- That trade from two to three
- Reuben Foster and Joe Williams and how the 49ers are working to ensure success for both
- The benefits of Lynch and Shanahan working in tandem
- Whether or not I think Vance McDonald will be on the 49ers when the season starts
- And the excitement we have about this team that’s been missing for some time now.

It's about that time 49ers fans! After months of discussion, speculation, and mock drafts galore, the 2017 NFL Draft is just over a week away. The San Francisco 49ers have the #2 overall pick, and unlike in recent years, we do not have a lock on of who they will take. It’s also very likely that they trade back for more picks.
This Draft will give the fans a clearer picture of the John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan era, and the vision they have for this team. Frankly, it’s all very exciting!
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) are joined Bleacher Report’s draft expert Matt Miller (http://www.twitter.com/nfldraftscout) to break down the draft for the 49ers. We discuss all things draft related, including:
- What Matt would really like to see the 49ers do with the #2 pick
- The odds of Myles Garrett being available at the two spot
- The first of the John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan NFL Drafts and what it means
- Who we would each pick at two if it were up to us
- Some draft sleepers teams should be looking at
- And realistic expectations for the 49ers in 2017.

After months and months of speculation, the 2017 NFL Draft is only a month away. Let’s be honest, fans of the San Francisco 49ers have been looking forward to April 27 pretty much since week two of the 2016 season. It is no secret that the 49ers are in the midst of a major rebuild, and though this can’t be done in one draft, a dent can certainly be made. The Niners need everything from a quarterback to offensive lineman to linebackers to, well, everything.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) are joined by Pro Football Focus Analyst Jeff Deeney (http://www.twitter.com/PFF_Jeff) to talk about the upcoming draft. We cover:
- our personal top picks at #2 and #34
- the variety of players and positions that make sense with the second pick
- the difference between this year’s draft and those of the past few years
- the excitement around seeing what John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan do
- the deficiencies in the 2016 49ers and what can be done about those in late April.
All in all, it should be a very interesting draft year for the Niners, and here’s hoping this team gets some upgrades.

It’s may be the offseason, but the San Francisco 49ers’ general manager and head coach tandem of John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have been busy making moves. They signed defensive back K’Waun Williams and defensive tackle Earl Mitchell, while re-signing wide receiver Jeremy Kerley to a three-year deal. In a move that was both surprising and not, the Niners have released wide receiver Torrey Smith, after two lackluster years in two very lackluster offenses. But still, it makes a lot of sense. They have also released safety Antoine Bethea. Onward and upward we go.
With the free agency period officially beginning on Thursday and the draft less than two months away, the 49ers are in need of a quarterback, wide receivers, linebackers, and basically everything else. Therefore, we can expect many more moves to come.
On this week’s Talking Touchdown’s podcast, Steph(http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl)are joined by Niners Wire of the USA Today Sports Media Group’s Chris Biderman to talk about the next couple months and how we see them playing out for San Francisco. We go over a variety of subjects, including:
- Kirk Cousins and the pros and cons of trading for him now or waiting to sign him as a free agent next year
- Other potential options at quarterback
- Free agent wide receivers Alshon Jeffery, Terelle Pryor, and Pierre Garçon, and which of them we think make the most sense in the red and gold
- Who we think the Niners will draft with the #2 pick
- What kind of splash we expect the 49ers to make during free agency
- And, Lynch and Shanahan and why we like what we’ve seen from them so far.

The San Francisco 49ers have themselves a new general manager, and he comes in the form of Pro Bowler and Hall of Fame candidate John Lynch. Lynch has spent the last several years as an analyst on the NFL on Fox and though he comes to Santa Clara with no personnel experience, it's definitely an interesting hire.
Listen to this week's podcast as SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) discuss if it's all just maybe crazy enough to work... and read my blog post to learn more about what John Lynch said on a conference call with the media yesterday. http://fangirlsportsnetwork.com/nfl/49ersfangirl/podcast-ep-48-will-the-49ers-strike-gold-with-john-lynch-hire

The Atlanta Falcons are going to the Super Bowl, and they’re going in large part to the play calling of offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. And yes, that's the same Kyle Shanahan it looks like the San Francisco 49ers will be hiring as their next head coach. Jed York and company will have to wait a couple weeks to make it official, but it will be worth in the wait. Yet, as of now, it’s late January and the 49ers are without a coach and a general manager.
Top GM candidates Eliot Wolf and Brian Gutekunst are staying in Green Bay. The now frontrunner is Minnesota Vikings’ assistant General Manager George Paton, but the plot thickens, as the Indianapolis Colts want to interview him as well.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) talk all things 49ers, including:
- How the route to a new coach and general manager has been a risky one, but one with a potentially big payoff
- The excitement over Kyle Shanahan and why we need to somewhat manage expectations
- What it means for the new general manager’s duties if Shanahan is given total control
- How we feel about the potential of Kirk Cousins in a 49er uniform
- And the Paraag factor, because you know we have to talk about that.

In what is becoming an annual tradition, San Francisco 49ers’ CEO Jed York addressed the media Monday morning. This year it was to talk about the firings of general manager Trent Baalke and head coach Chip Kelly and discuss the future of the team and the organization.
“I want to let the fans know that I apologize for a 2-14 season. I apologize for being back here again and making a change, but I think it’s very important that we reestablish a championship culture. We need to make sure that we move forward and find the right head coach and general manager, two guys that can work together and reestablish the level that we all expect and want for the San Francisco 49ers.”
I believe that York is sincere, and I do believe he wants this team to win. I also understand that from a fan’s perspective, it’s a lot of years of too much talking and not enough action. But, the past is the past.
“Nothing that I’m going to say is going to be a satisfactory answer. We need to make sure that our success speaks for itself. Our actions have to speak for itself. I’ve done it before. We’ve put together a team that has had three NFC Championship runs. That was in the past. I can’t live on the past. I need to make sure that anything that I do is backed up by the results that are on the field.”
That would do a lot to appease the fan base, but the concern is as long as York is in charge, nothing will change. York said he is the owner and owners don’t get dismissed. Tures. So, it's the Jed York show, and we're going to have to watch and wait.
“Ultimately the decision will rest with me. I will look at people inside the building and continue to consult people outside of the building, folks that I trust, folks that are very well respected. But, our system and our structure is going to be a head coach and a general manager and ultimately that decision will rest with me.”
So if York is ultimately making the decision, how do we know that we won’t be back here next year talking about a fourth coach being fired? How will York prevent that from happening?
“I need to make sure that we have the right communication between the general manager and the head coach and the head coach and his staff. And that’s why those two guys need to be on the same page and you need to have the right people on the staff and know that we’re going to continue to do everything that we can to get better. They’re going to have a very, very long leash in terms of making decisions…They need to be able to reestablish a championship culture and that’s going to take time to reestablish a championship culture…My ultimate goal is to win a championship, win multiple championships, and that’s the foundation that we need to lay and that’s what we need to build for.”
That was a big theme of the press conference. The head coach and GM being on the same page and communicating. That and culture. York is big into culture, so much so, he said it 16 times. So, we shall see.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) discuss the season, the press conference, and professionalism in the locker room. A few players mentioned youth as a reason for some of the season’s missteps and what needs to change in the future.
We made it through the 2016 season 49er fans! Better days ahead. Go Niners!

Another week, another terrible loss for the San Francisco 49ers. Two games remain in this dismal season, and the end can’t come soon enough. It has been a very rough couple of years to be a 49ers’ fan, so Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph)and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) brought in an expert on rough years to be a fan.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, we are joined by Ryan Burns - Cleveland Browns fan and the founder, host, and executioner of FootballSickness. We discuss all sorts of fun things, including:
- The similarities between the 49ers and the Browns
- The Ways the two organizations have intersected over the years with players and coaches
- The positives Ryan sees for the Browns’ future
- If the 49ers have the same positives
- And Ryan gives us tips on how to get through these dismal seasons.

Hello Faithful! Even though they got close the other day, the San Francisco 49ers could not pull out the win and have fallen to 1-10. A couple bright spots in the game were the competitiveness of the team and Colin Kaepernick’s continued improvement. Kaepernick threw for 296 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 113 yards. Each week, he looks more and more comfortable in Chip Kelly’s offense and he is making the case to keep his job in 2017.
Job security got Steph and I thinking. We want to see changes, but what will those changes actually be? There are those who want Kap gone, those who want Chip gone, many who want General Manager Trent Baalke gone. We asked three fans, Ryan Anderson, Titus Bresino, and Fernando Jaramillo which of the three they would keep and why, and we got three very different answers. Steph and I weighed in as well, because you know we always have an opinion.
Would you like to be on? Tweet me @49ersfangirl (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) or @SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) to let us know. As we keep saying, we’re getting through this together, one week at a time.
Thanks for listening! Go Niners!

Welp, it looks like the game against the Arizona Cardinals was an anomaly, as the San Francisco 49ers were back to their old ways against the New England Patriots. It’s not that I thought they’d win, but I did think they could build upon the positives from the Cardinals game and compete. But, no. So, the Niners are now 1-9 and have tied a franchise record losing nine in a row. Congratulations? I don’t think so.
Once again, San Francisco looked good in the first half and fell apart in the second. Maybe the games really are too long. Either way, here’s where we are.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) are joined by our fearless leader, Niners Nation’s David Fucillo (http://www.twitter.com/NinersNation). We delve into all things 49ers, including:
- A recap of the Patriots game, because we wanted to torture ourselves and rehash that
- The reality of Trent Baalke being the 49ers General Manager next year and - Chip Kelly being the coach
- Why we think Kelly deserves another year
- Who we would draft right now if we had to pick
- The upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins
- And the various teams 49er fans should be rooting for in the coming weeks. Six weeks to go my Faithful friends. As always, we are in this together.

The San Francisco 49ers almost won on Sunday! Even though they didn’t, they showed some fight and that’s something. For the first time in a long time, eight weeks to be exact, it was actually fun to watch the 49ers. It came down to the last second, and I was actually nervous. It’s been ages since that’s happened.
Colin Kaepernick looked strong passing for 210 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 55 yards and a touchdown. Most importantly, no turnovers! Meanwhile, the 49ers’ defense recovered two fumbles, had two interceptions and 10 pass break ups. And they held the Cardinals to 80 rushing yards total. Major, major improvements.
Now Tom Brady and the New England Patriots come to town. Well…hopefully our guys in the red and gold can at least compete.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl)break down the game and look to the future, focusing on:
- The difference we see in Kaepernick’s play, pocket passing, and overall confidence
- The massive upgrade on the run defense…and the defense generally
- Jimmie Ward and the 49ers’ secondary – did they really look that good or is just that they’re finally doing their job?
- Trent Baalke’s mea culpa and what that means for his future and the future of Chip Kelly
- And the upcoming game against the Patriots. It probably won’t be that fun, but it may not be as bad as you think.
Thanks for listening! It’s been a tough season, but at least we have each other.
Go Niners!!

Hello 49ers’ fans. I hope you’ve recovered from Sunday’s loss, but you probably haven’t. This San Francisco 49ers team is certainly the worst I’ve ever seen and I wonder if it’s the worst in franchise history. Per usual, the Niners were in the game for awhile and then a Mike Davis fumble on the one yard line derailed the team.
Colin Kaepernick had a good day throwing for 398 yards and two touchdowns, and DuJuan Harris looked good with 58 yards rushing and 89 yards receiving and a touchdown of his own. JaCorey Shepherd opened some eyes with his combined 104 yards on kickoff returns. Other than that, it was a mess.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph)and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) commiserate on the life of a 49er fan in 2016, focusing on:
- the 49er defense, if you can call it that
- coaching
- the Saints game
- the front office and the changes that need to be made
- what would do this organization in
- and the acceptance that this team may be go 1-15.

Hello 49er fans! I hope everyone had a nice bye week and took some time to get recharged for the next nine weeks. I especially hope that’s true of the players. The 1-6 San Francisco 49ers are a mess from top to bottom, and with nine games left to play, they have nowhere to go but up...in theory.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Bay Area News Group and 49ers’ beat writer Cam Inman (http://www.twitter.com/CamInman) joins me (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) and Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph)to talk all things Niners, including:

The 1-5 San Francisco 49ers are in trouble. They are bad. They have no leader. They have no identity. And they don’t play football well, or decent, or mediocre. It’s a most unfortunate scene in Santa Clara, and it’s not getting better any time soon. Sorry Faithful.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Jennifer Lee Chan(http://www.twitter.com/jenniferleechan)joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and me (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl), as your ladies of Niners Nation take a look at the red and gold and how we got here, focusing on:
- The lack of talent on the roster
- Defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil and his porous defense
- The way the organization is run
- Colin Kaepernick
- Torrey Smith
- The lack of playmakers
- And more.
The prognosis for this team is bleak, but at least we’re in this together, and the three of us will make you laugh. Next up, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Go Niners!

Hello 49er fans. We are heading into week five of the NFL season, and the San Francisco 49ers continue to struggle. After jumping out to a 14-0 lead over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, the 49ers fell apart in the second half, losing 24-17 and dropping to 1-3. And that wasn’t the worst part. NaVorro Bowman tore his Achilles and is out for the season, which is nothing short of a devastating loss for San Francisco.
The show must go on. It’s a short week and the Arizona Cardinals come to Levi’s Stadium for an NFC West showdown Thursday night. Both teams are 1-3. Both teams need to win, badly.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) are joined by CSN Bay Area’s Mindi Bach (http://www.twitter.com/MBachCSN) to talk about Sunday’s game and preview this week’s. We focus on a lot of areas, including:
• The loss of Bowman and what it means beyond Sundays (or Thursdays or Mondays) • The inconsistencies in both the 49ers’ offense and defense • What the 49ers need to do to at least somewhat turn this around • Wide Receiver Jeremy Kerley • Rooking Cornerback Rashard Robinson • What the 49ers are missing that was abundant a few short years ago, and no, it’s not just talent. • And how we see things going on Thursday.

Well 49er fans, week three of the 2016 NFL season has come and gone, and things are looking a lot like 2015. The Niners are 1-2 and were embarrassed on the road against an NFC West rival. They looked entirely unprepared, as the Seattle Seahawks bulldozed right over them on their way to a 37-18 victory, and it was really never that close. The only bright spots for San Francisco were two 4th quarter touchdowns by running back Carlos Hyde and he is pretty much the offense at this point. Fans are calling for a quarterback change, but head coach Chip Kelly says not yet.
What else is there to say really? It was a bad game, but we’re a podcast, so we still found plenty to discuss. Even so, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) thought we’d bring in a different perspective. On today’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, we are joined by writer and Seattle fan Danielle Campoamor (http://www.twitter.com/DCampoamor) to talk about:
- The 49ers vs. Seahawks and whether or not it still matters
- Christine Michel’s breakout game
- The Kaepernick vs. Gabbert debate
- Steph and I on the Kelly train
- How we still miss Jim Harbaugh
- And which defense will show up to Levi’s Stadium for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys.
It’s been a tough couple of weeks in Ninerland, but chin up Faithful, it’s only week four. That is potentially good news and bad news.

Hello Niner fans! I hope everyone is recovered from Sunday’s 46-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. It was an eerily similar game to last season’s week two and no one wants a repeat of last season. The San Francisco 49ers are off to Seattle for a week three matchup with their division rival Seahawks.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph and I are joined by The Sacramento Bee’s Matt Barrows to break down week two and look ahead to week three. We look at:
• The breakdowns in the 49er defense • The lack of run production on the 49er offense • The Niners’ desperate need for a big WR • The young talent in San Francisco (Santa Clara) and who the most talented player on the team may be • Trent Baalke’s draft strategy • And we each predict the score of the game.

On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph and I talk about many aspects of the game, including:
- What a difference a coach and his staff makes
- Carlos Hyde’s amazing ability

- How the secondary absolutely shined
- Blaine Gabbert
- And the upcoming game against the Panthers.

Hello 49ers fans. As you know, Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers have been in the news quite a bit over the last few days regarding Kaepernick’s decision to sit during the National Anthem. He is protesting racial inequality and police brutality in this country. It’s a decision that has sparked both massive support and massive outrage. As you can read here, I am supportive of Kaepernick and his right to take a stand in the manner he sees most fit.
Meanwhile, the 2016 NFL season is less than two weeks away, and the Niners aren’t looking too good. The Kaepernick controversy aside, the quarterback situation is a mess, the team is lacking in playmakers, and there is a rebuild going on, whether the 49ers want to admit it or not.
ESPN’s Jim Trotter (http://www.twitter.com/JimTrotter_NFL) joined me and Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) on this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast to discuss the above, as well as:
• The conversation we should be having regarding Kaepernick’s decision • Kaepernick’s future with the team and the football reasons behind it • How Jim Harbaugh hurt Kaepernick’s play • The NFC West • And more reasons why it’s going to be another tough season in Santa Clara.
We know this was not the most upbeat podcast, but a dose of reality is good every once in awhile. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll prove us all wrong. Thanks for listening! Go Niners!

And just like that, the 2016 NFL Draft is over. For better or worse, the San Francisco 49ers made their picks, leaving the first round with two – DeForest Buckner and Joshua Garnett. I thought it was a pretty good draft, but on this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Tim Kawakami (http://www.twitter.com/timkawakami) gave us a perspective that has made me mull it over more.
Kawakami joined me (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) and Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) to talk about a number of issues, including the draft, the problems within the 49er organization, the Warriors, and the definition of a Jedbot. I learned a lot from Kawakami and he opened my eyes to a couple of different viewpoints. You are in for a treat!

The NFL offseason has been anything but boring. Between trade rumors, actual trades, free agency, and ridiculous interviews, fans have had plenty to talk about. Also, Colin Kaepernick is still a 49er.
Melissa Jacobs (http://www.twitter.com/thefootballgirl), NFL editor for SI.com and founder of thefootballgirl.com, joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) to talk about Kap, as well as:

Just when you thought the Colin Kaepernick era was coming to an end in San Francisco, Kap showed up to off-season workouts and as of now, there’s no trade. And the beat goes on. The draft is just a few weeks away and as I mentioned, the 49ers’ offseason workouts began yesterday.
Amy Trask (http://www.twitter.com/AmyTrask), former Raiders CEO and current football analyst for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network, joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I this week to talk about:

Though the San Francisco 49ers have been quiet in free agency, things in Santa Clara have hardly been quiet. The draft is just about a month away, and with 12 draft picks, Trent Baalke and the Niners have a lot to do.
In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, The San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch (http://www.twitter.com/Eric_Branch) joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I to talk the possibility of the 49ers moving up in the draft, Colin Kaepernick, the NFL owners' meetings, and Baalke’s fascination with ACL injuries.

The San Francisco 49ers have seen their share of feuds over the past couple years, but one of them has been cleared up! Jim Harbaugh’s coming back? No. Colin Kaepernick and the front office are besties again? Not yet. But SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and The Santa Rosa Press Democrat’s Grant Cohn (http://www.twitter.com/grantcohn) have made up on twitter and beyond, which was a good thing for this week’s show.
On this episode of Talking Touchdowns, Steph and I talk with Cohn about Colin Kaepernick’s future, the NFL Draft, the 49ers’ rebuilding plan, and whether or not it really matters if Kap gets along with everyone in the locker room.

We are almost a week into NFL Free Agency and the San Francisco 49ers have barely made a peep, leaving many fans confused and angry. That being said, the Niners are a team in a rebuild and that starts with the NFL Draft, whether we like it or not.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph and I are joined by Bleacher Report’s NFL draft expert Matt Miller to talk about the best picks the 49ers can make to get this team back on track. And don’t worry, we talk Colin Kaepernick too, because, well, Colin Kaepernick.
Thanks for listening! Comment below and let us know who you want the Niners to draft at #7 and beyond. Go Niners!

Not only is it NFL free agency time, but it’s also MLB Spring Training time! SoCaliSteph is in Arizona taking in the San Francisco Giants and some sun, but she joined me to talk the 49ers and free agency. This week marks the beginning of NFL Free Agency and the calendar start of the 2016 season. With Niner fans still reeling from a 2015 hangover, we have lots of hopes and dreams about who the 49ers will sign.
In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph and I talk about our favorites and who we think will don the red and gold next season. Steph also gives us some insight into the world of spring training and the 2016 Giants. Enjoy! Go Niners! Go Giants!

The San Francisco 49ers are looking ahead to the 2016 season with a new coach and new aspirations, and yet, there’s still some of the same old drama. What do we expect? It is the 49ers after all. With the free agency starting next week and the draft six weeks away, fans are going to see a lot of new faces on the 2016 Niners.
In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I are joined by Niner Noise’s @CenCalFaithful (http://www.twitter.com/CenCalFaithful ) and @rjmadrid (http://www.twitter.com/rjmadrid) to talk about the draft, our top picks, and of course a little Colin Kaepernick.
Who do you hope the 49ers draft with the seventh pick? Comment below and let us know. Go Niners!

The Denver Broncos will take on the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium. Super Bowl activities will take place in San Francisco, but fans will have to travel to Santa Clara on game day, which could bring with it a host of problems.
On this week’s podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I were joined by CSNBayArea.com’s Ray Ratto (http://www.twitter.com/RattoCSN) to talk all things Super Bowl, including:
• The matchup between the Broncos and the Panthers • The potential traffic and weather issues • The City of San Francisco as a host and Levi’s Stadium as a host • As well as a little 49ers’ roster talk for good measure.

The San Francisco 49ers fired head coach Jim Tomsula last week, which means the search for the new great coach is underway. Top names have been interviewed, with many believing that Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator Hue Jackson is the #1 choice of the organization. He’s certainly the #1 choice of a lot of fans.
In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I talk about the search, the candidates, and how we think it will end. It’s sure been a roller coaster so far; so it’s pretty much in line with all things 49ers. Time will tell. Go Niners!

Hello 49ers fans! It is 2016 and already a new era has begun for the San Francisco 49ers. After a 5-11 season in which he was put in an impossible situation, Jim Tomsula was fired. Jed York addressed the media and fans, taking responsibility for the disaster that was the 49ers’ 2015 season. However, actions speak louder than words, and it remains to be seen if this team gets turned around.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I are joined by SB Nation and FanRag Sports Network’s Michael Erler (http://www.twitter.com/MichaelErlerSBN) to talk about: - General Manager Trent Baalke’s search for a new head coach - The 49ers’ need for a strong draft and free agency - Those pesky media leaks - And if we think true change is in the air.

49ers fans, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the 2015 season is mercifully coming to an end, and we can start looking forward to next season! The bad news is I don’t think next season is going to be any better. So many changes need to be made on this team, and I am not confident that the 49ers’ organization is ready or willing to make them.
On this week’s Talking Touchdowns’ podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I are joined by David Fucillo (http://www.twitter.com/davidfucillo) from Niners Nation (ninersnation.com) to review all things 49ers. We cover a variety of topics, including:
- Mike Holmgren’s interest in coaching the Niners
- The future of Jim Tomsula
- The 49ers’ draft needs
- And our predictions for this Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Rams.

You win some. You lose some. In the case of the San Francisco 49ers, they just keep losing, and in ugly fashion. Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals was no exception, with the 49ers losing 24-10, and frankly, it was never really that close. So the beat goes on for the 4-10 Niners, as they play their final two games against the Detroit Lions and St. Louis Rams, on the road and at home, respectively.
It’s abundantly clear that changes need to be made with all aspects of this team, starting with the coaching staff. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I were joined by CSNBayArea.com’s Matt Maiocco (http://www.twitter.com/MaioccoCSN) to talk about the state of the 49ers and where they go from here. We covered a wide range of topics, including:
- Who the 49ers miss most from Jim Harbaugh’s coaching staff
- Who is most likely to be the new 49ers’ offensive coordinator, should Geep Chryst be fired
- Whether or not the Niners should use a high draft pick on a quarterback
- And what our predictions are for their final record.

Another week, another loss by the 49ers. That being said, 49ers Faithful means faithful through the ups and the downs. SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I have loved the red and gold too long to turn back now; so even though we are frustrated and concerned for the team’s future, we still love our Niners, no matter what.
In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, we discuss: - What went wrong against the Browns - Scott Ostler’s article about whether or not the Yorks would sell the 49ers - Tim Kawakami’s piece on Colin Kaepernick’s social conscience (http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2015/12/15/in-praises-of-colin-kaepernicks-social-conscience)
...all while building excitement for our upcoming trip to Santa Clara to watch the 49ers take on the Bengals – eek! No matter what, Go Niners!
Subscribe to my weekly podcast (https://bit.ly/itunessubscription) and my YouTube channel (http://bit.ly/1ODYueE).
The 49ers got their first road win of the season, and it was exciting! Yes, they’re still 4-8, but they won on the road, in overtime, and showed heart doing it. These are all good things. They showed promise.
That being said, the win wasn’t the only big news coming out of Ninerville this week. Team president Paraag Marathe was reassigned, which was a shocking move, as he has been one of the Jed York’s closest confidantes.
There has been a lot said about York, and the frustration from the fans is rampant. This frustration is completely understandable, but he is the CEO, and he's not going anywhere.
In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I discuss our thoughts on York, the surprising move regarding Marathe, as well as:
• Sunday's win • Why we owe Blaine Gabbert an apology • And our predictions for the last four games of the season.
Thanks for listening! We’d love to hear your thoughts, so comment below.

Believe it or not, the San Francisco 49ers actually played well in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals, with a solid defensive effort and continued progress from quarterback Blaine Gabbert. But, sadly, that doesn’t change the fact that they lost and that they are 3-8. On the plus side, next year brings a whole new season.
On this week’s podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I are joined by Niners Digest Editor-in-Chief Chris Biderman (http://www.twitter.com/ChrisBiderman) to talk all things Niners, including:
• The locker room without Colin Kaepernick • The state of Blaine Gabbert • The defense’s home prowess and road mess • And whom we think will be coaching the 49ers in 2016.
Thanks for listening and if you notice an abrupt ending, we had some technical difficulties that forced us to wrap up the podcast more quickly than anticipated. Go Niners!

The San Francisco 49ers organization is a mess from top to bottom. It’s not just their 3-7 record, and another bad loss to the Seahawks, it’s the leaks, the finger-pointing and general behavior not becoming an NFL team. The team looks terrible, on the field and off.
As a lifelong 49ers Faithful, it’s hard to watch, not because they’re losing games, but because they’re losing class.. In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCali Steph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I were joined again by writer and creator of 49ersHub Stephanie (http://49ershub.wix.com/49ershub) to discuss:
- Colin Kaepernick and the media leaks
- Paraag Marathe and his football analytics
- The lifelessness of the team on the field
- And the general feeling of disconnect that is felt by the fans and potentially the players.
Thanks for listening. Go Niners!

In a twist no one saw coming (ok, not no one), the Blaine Gabbert led San Francisco 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons. Gabbert got the job done going 15 of 25 for 185 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. But the real star of the show was the 49ers’ defense.
In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph and I discuss the game and other 49ers' thoughts, including:
- The emotional rollercoaster that has been this season
- Who we would start at quarterback against Seattle
- And why we are encouraged for the 49ers’ future.
Thanks for listening! Go Niners!

After another loss and falling to 2-6, it looks like the San Francisco 49ers realize they’re in rebuilding mode, as they traded TE Vernon Davis and a 2016 7th-round pick to the Denver Broncos for a 6th-round draft pick in 2016 and a 6th in 2017. Although this is sad and signals the end of an era, the trade was not a surprise and makes sense in the long run for all parties.
So now the 49ers’ offense moves on and continues to try to find its way in the world, or at least on the football field. In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I were joined by writer and creator of 49ersHub Stephanie (http://49ershub.wix.com/49ershub) to discuss:
- Where the 49ers go from here
- The potential benching of QB Colin Kaepernick
- And accountability.
This season is probably going to get worse before anything gets better, but at least we’re in this together. Go Niners!
*Please note this was recorded before the announcement that Colin Kaepernick is benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert.

Not only were the San Francisco 49ers once again embarrassed by the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, but the team has been the subject of a lot of drama over the last few days. There are love triangles and team fights, and at the center of it all, a quarterback that may or may not be "on an island” (http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/san-francisco-49ers-colin-kaepernick-on-an-island-in-locker-room-jay-glazer-102515).
In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph and I were all about that Kap. We discussed everything from the Aldon Smith issue, the locker room feud, to whether or not the 49ers really have given up on the QB that took them to the Super Bowl three years ago. As two Kaepernick fans, we have lots of opinions, and Steph was able to share some of her inside knowledge.

2-4! 2-4! The San Francisco 49ers are 2-4, and frankly I couldn’t be happier – I mean that seriously. Do you know how much better 2-4 is than 1-5? Like, much better.
The offense is clicking, the defense did its job, even the turf helped out. But now the Niners face the division rival Seattle Seahawks on a short week, and the stakes are high. SoCaliSteph (https://twitter.com/socalisteph)and I (http://twitter.com/49ersfangirl) talked about the win over Baltimore, the much-improved play of Colin Kaepernick, Carlos Hyde’s injured foot, and whether or not we think the 49ers can pull out a win on Thursday.

Well, hello 49ers fans! Did San Francisco beat the New York Giants? No. But, are there reasons to still feel encouraged? You know it! The Niners lost 30-27, which was a tough one, but they looked like a real, live football team. The offense was clicking, and QB Colin Kaepernick quieted the critics, going 23-35 for 262 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. And you know what else? He looked like Kap. For the first time in a long time, Kaepernick looked confident and in control, so hallelujah! Unfortunately, the defense couldn’t get it done, and the 49ers left New York with a loss.
@SoCaliSteph (https://twitter.com/socalisteph) and I talked about the above and a lot more in this week’s Talking Touchdowns: Despite the Loss, 49ers Get Their Groove Back.

Football is a team sport Niners’ fans, and for the last three weeks, the San Francisco 49ers have lost as a team, due to lack of execution on both sides of the ball. San Francisco’s loss on Sunday was no exception, though there was a bright spot and that was the defense. It looked and played so much better, holding the Green Bay Packers to 17 points. This unit seems to have made the adjustments needed to keep the 49ers in games. Not to mention, this group of guys played its heart out.
On the other hand, the offense, continued to struggle mightily, and it did so as a unit. That’s the key phrase, as a unit. The entire offense has a hand in its ineffectiveness. It is not one person or one group of people. It’s everyone. @SoCaliSteph (https://twitter.com/socalisteph) and I teamed up this week to talk about the San Francisco offense, focusing on:
• Torrey Smith’s postgame comments • The role of coaching • What we expect against the New York Giants • And why we still support Colin Kaepernick as our quarterback.

After Sunday’s blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the San Francisco 49ers are a team in total disarray. The offense looks terrible, the defense looks terrible, and the play calling is more than a little suspect. Among other things, @SoCaliSteph (https://twitter.com/socalisteph)and I teamed up to discuss the following:
• The Colin Kaepernick Issue • Eric Mangini’s confusing defense that seems to only be confusing the 49ers • Jim Tomsula as a leader • It’s only week 3. Is there time to right this ship?

Happy Monday Niners’ fans! Yesterday’s loss was a doozy, and it left many a fan, including this one, concerned about the state of the team. That being said, it’s only week two and there is a lot of football left to play. This game could end up being an opportunity for the 49ers to learn, grow, and improve.
I teamed up with SoCaliSteph(https://twitter.com/socalisteph) to talk about what went wrong, what went right (a couple things did), and how we think the team needs to move forward. As you can imagine, we had lots to discuss, including:
• The secondary • The offensive line • The improvements we see in Kap • And those darn dropped passes
Enjoy and as always, Go Niners!

Well Niners fans, I don’t know about you, but the 49ers' Sunday night win over the Dallas Cowboys sure put a smile on my face! I know preseason wins don’t mean much, but it was the showing that made me happy. San Francisco looks good. Yes, there’s still work to be done, but I am excited about the talent on and the potential of this team.
This week, I teamed up with Steph, also known as @SoCaliSteph (https://twitter.com/socalisteph), from Niners Nation (http://www.sbnation.com/users/socalisteph) to discuss all things 49ers on the first-ever 49ersfangirl podcast, Talking Touchdowns.
Listen to find out our thoughts on:
• NaVorro Bowman (2:57) • The battle at the cornerback position (11:05) • Why we believe in Colin Kaepernick as the 49ers quarterback (23:22) • Why the 49ers will be better than 8-8 (20:55) • What do you think Niners’ fans? 8-8? Is Kaepernick our guy?

Between minicamp, Celebrity Family Feud and doing an exclusive one-on-one interview with me (http://49ersfangirl.com/under-the-helmet-my-interview-with-49ers-vernon-davis/), San Francisco 49ers’ Tight End Vernon Davis has been very busy this offseason. However, even the busiest people need to take some to relax and do the things they enjoy. I asked Davis to share a few fun facts about himself that most people don't know.
I present to you Five Fun Facts About Vernon Davis – in his own words:
1) Some people don’t know that I’m an artist. I like to paint. 2) I like to do yoga. 3) I like to meditate. 4) I like picnics. 5) I like to listen to every music genre that’s out, whether it’s rock, jazz, um, well, gospel, rock, jazz, hip hop, R&B, pretty much everything.
What’s his favorite type of yoga? Vinyasa.
Namaste Vernon and we’ll see you at training camp. Go Niners!
