SF Examiner: This year's San Francisco 49ers reminiscent of 1981 team

By Art Spander
Special to The Examiner


What’s made this 49ers season, this delightful journey, even more fulfilling is no one saw this coming. In a way, it’s similar to 1981, the year that changed the way the Bay Area, really the entire country, judged the franchise.

There were no expectations back then, other than the fact that somehow the Niners wouldn’t win. But as we know, they did win, and San Francisco, beside itself with joy, celebrated as it never did again. The first time never can be repeated.

Read the full story here.

so his mom was at home, and she put him in a preschool anyway? from a former preschool worker, let me tell you: those places are wretched. no kid wants to be there, they suck. he shouldn't have been there in the first place. i don't blame the kid for wanting to bolt!http://www.cheapdiablo3store.com" rel="nofollow">diablo 3 gold

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

In simpler terms Geithner played a leading role in putting forth a system that showed that we are not equal. His goals were to protect the wealthy at the cost of the working and middle classes. Sadly, both republican and democratic representa-tives who are members of this class support this system for it protect's them and their friends while placing all of the risk on the working people. My question is why would we ever vote for any of them in office again as they do not believe in the idea of equality for all of our citizen's but just a few of them who are financiall-y wealthy.http://www.myswtorcredit.com" rel="nofollow">swtor Power Leveling

It's really a worthwhile experience. Good for families with kids, too. It brings responsibility, perhaps a first experience with a pet outside the realm of fish, and the value of giving the pet up for someone else (it definitely was my first time experiencing any sort of grief- my family raised a puppy when I was 8 or 9). http://www.cheapdiablo3store.com" rel="nofollow">diablo 3 gold

Thank God there are smart(er) people working throughout agencies of government who can run it and work to protect us from many of our foreign and domestic enemies, because the polticians and the majority of their appointees work in a political microcosm of raw power and hubris. Geithner, an absolute sycophant and true believer in corporate vs. people power (first choice of jobs was at Kissinger & Associates-) warned Obama not to step on the toes of the Fed and megabanks, and Obama went right along. The vacuum created by Obama's weak approach to the banks, financial regulation-, Iraq invasion and war profiteeri-ng, were some of the major reasons the Democrats lost the House to the militant theocratic corporate fascists whom Obama believed - after all the hundreds of thousands of dead and the liquidatio-n of the Treasurty - he could reason with. There's really no more time for Obama. The Democrats need to field a tough, knowledgea-ble challenger to Obams for 2012, no matter what Maddow, O'Donnell, Melissa Perry and all other fern bar liberals would think about it. The independen-ts and majority of Democrats would welcome it. http://www.wowgoldpaypal.com" rel="nofollow">fast wow gold,wow account management,wow character transfer

It strikes me as poor journalism for any author to rely on his memory rather than--gasp---check his facts... Give me a break. I guess citing his memory has one advantage, it allows Dylan to needlessly insert himself into the article.http://www.cheapestwowgolds.com" rel="nofollow">wow gold
