The View From The Streets of San Francisco

by Jack Sharkey on Jan 14, 2012 11:54 AM CST

With apologies and an homage to Dave and the View From Section 140, here is my non-picture view from the Streets of San Francisco: The hotel I am staying at is loaded with Who Dats, and the first shuttle to the stadium is ready to leave at 10:00 AM. From my 18th floor window I can hear a queue of rowdy Who Dats getting started early. Weather is in the low 60s and bright and clear, should be almost 70 by game time. Took a quick cable car ride down to the Piers after breakfast and my Saints warm-up jersey almost cost me double fare from the 49ers jersey wearing operator. Spoke to about 5 or 6 Niners fans and they're all feeling like they got this one in the bag. We shall see...

--- I don't miss the alcohol as much as I miss having the built in reason on why I'm nekkid in public.
--- I used to want to be an inspiration to my son. now i just hope to be a dire warning.
--- just two men and a dog making candles
--- I know i'll win my battles though i fear we'll lose the war

Pictures coming...

but I gotta tell ya, saints fans should be proud to be able to have fun without being obnoxious. Other than Eagles fans I’ve never been around more obnoxious fans than 49ers fans. Haters and trolls can dispute me, but I was there and it was ugly.

Well it is the playoffs

I think it’s naturally more intense.

I'm just a simple Giants fan trying to make my way in the universe.

Intense is one thing, this was beyond that. Not everyone of course, but there was a vibe right from the start before the alcohol took over that was beyond intense.
