.., there WILL be a NFL season in 2020. Whether it will start on time and produce a full slate, we can't say, but we'll never hold with the Chicken Littles and doomsayers and Newsomes who seem to get a perverse kick out of national crises like this CCP virus pandemic.
Now, given the enforced idle time and no sports on the tube, we are using this interlude to upload some of our old typed 49er pages from years past. Look to your right and you'll see "Archive:" pages slowly appear, from 1981, from 1988, and from the George Seifert years. Some of them are reportage on playoff games, others are musings on the future of the 49ers, and a few may contain little more than damned foolishness. But there they are, unedited, and we apologize in advance for some of the irregular sizes and typefaces. These are scanned pages uploaded as jpegs, which is time-consuming enough without purchasing editing software and massaging the text. And editing would produce an irresistible impulse to correct some of our more boneheaded pronouncements (Jim Druckenmiller, the next great 49er QB?) and that would be-- well, it wouldn't be sporting, would it?
So enjoy, or ignore at your pleasure, this window into a world the San Francisco 49ers ruled for almost two decades. And please, stay safe.
