So, you know that I’m a San Franciscan. I’ve been raised here ever since I was four. Obviously, it’s all about the Giants and Forty Niners for my family and I.
Today, the San Francisco Forty Niners went against the New Orleans Saints. I was on a road trip the first half of the game, but I was definitely watching the second half. My whole family, at least all the males… and me, were gathered around the television with popcorn, nachos, and soft drinks.
When it was 32-29 Saints, I’ll be honest, I actually thought we were going to lose. Everyone in the room was glued to the TV and no one said a word. And then, Vernon Davis pulled through! Caught the ball and managed to hang on to it even with the Saints surrounding him. TOUCHDOWN! The game was now 32-36 Forty Niners. I had the quickest reaction of course. Literally, I jumped off the sofa and yelled, “Saints’ got nothing on us!” My whole family was staring at me like OMG, but then my Uncle Jason followed my actions and screamed, “Hell yeah! Touchdown! We’ve got a true Niners fan in the family,” and pointed at me.
It was so fun!! Even though we’re in LA, the people here are actually rooting for the Niners. There were cars honking, people screaming, and everyone was celebrating.
I now expect us to win the Super Bowl, but there are definitely no doubts about that. Cheers to the Forty Niners!
