Should be an entertaining afternoon today. It is well known that in professional football, I support the 49ers; always have (when they were lousy in the late 70s, and when they captured numerous Super Bowls in the 80s), and always will (even though they have been the most awful team for the past 6 years). BUT!! They are coming to see us today, cheerleaders included, and the Mayor and Staff will welcome them to City Hall shortly after 4. And when the pompoms are lowered, maybe this tall guy becomes visible standing next to the Mayor.

The 49ers play Denver on Sunday at Wembley Stadium (the game has been sold out for 5 months). Last weekend the lame broncos were thrashed by the Raiders; maybe a good omen for things to come...
