With Nike saying Just Screw It and dumping shamed cyclist Lance Armstrong faster than Felix Baumgartner can fall out of a Red Bull balloon, and Apple revealing that iPhone5s are hard to make and might be tougher to obtain, it's a good thing there is some upbeat news in the Silicon Valley area.
The Seahawks are in the City by the Bay to tackle the 49ers in the lone NFL game on Thursday. Both teams are sporting 4-2 records and in a three-way tie for first in the NFC West. Arizona Cardinals also have the same record.
The Seahawks are coming off a 24-23 come-from-behind win over the Brady Bunch from New England on Sunday. San Fran got spanked 26-3 at home by the New York Giants. Both have only had three days to prepare for this tilt at Candlestick Park.
What you may not know, is that Jack and everyone else will be jumping over the Candlestick and moving to the $916-million, 68,500-seat Santa Clara Stadium for the 2014 season, proving once again that nothing says U.S./California recession like a new taxpayer-funded playground for pigskin pros.
The experts favour the 49ers to slip past the Seahawks, mostly because the Seahawks are 0-2 within their division and don't know all the words to Rice-A-Roni, The San Francisco Treat!
The 49ers real fans, those with team jerseys and a list of companies to boycott embedded in their pockets, point to all the great things about their "Super Bowl contenders" and all the bad things about the Seattle Seahawks.
Fans there seem to forget it wasn't too long ago that the difference between a U.S. dollar and the 49ers was you couldn't get four quarters out of the 49ers!
While common sense says the 49ers should prevail, have the Seahawks not surprised/impressed a few people with wins over the Packers and Patriots?
My heart says Seahawks, my wallet says 49ers.
Pick for Thursday: San Fran by a field goal.
