49ers (and Raiders) season a day away

by Fooch on Sep 5, 2008 10:35 PM PDT

Hey folks. My name is Fooch and I'm the main writer over at Niners Nation. With basketball season still a couple months off, the NFL season kicks off Sunday afternoon in the Bay Area. I thought I'd make sure everybody knew about the football sites here at SB Nation.

Niners Nation is our 49ers site and Silver and Black Pride is our Raiders site (equal coverage for all). I won't speak for Saint at Silver and Black Pride, but over at Niners Nation we're developing a nice little community of 49ers fans. Everybody brings some quality insight and makes for great conversation all season long. I know some of them post over here so you're probably familiar with some of their work.

For the here and now, for those who haven't been over to Niners Nation, we have a year long prediction contest that starts Sunday. It's cumulative, so the more predictions you get in the better your chances. The prize is still to be determined, but I'm hoping it will involve some sort of 49ers merchandise. More on that to come.

So, if you get a chance now or anytime this season, swing by Niners Nation. The 49ers are not getting a lot of love from the national media, but I think they have some sleeper potential. Golden State of Mind has some amazing writers and I can only aspire to be as unstoppable as GSoM!

This FanPost is a submission from a member of the mighty Golden State of Mind community. While we're all here to throw up that W, these words do not necessarily reflect the views of the GSoM Crew. Still, chances are the preceding post is Unstoppable Baby!

i was such a niners fan when the team still had this guy

but than debartelo left and than his sister and bro in law took over and screwed up the team. So i went to the dark side. yeah i know they suck but they are not screwed up like the niners right now esp when they become the santa clara niners.

So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

Go niners!

This year will be great. I’ve given up on Smith after 3+ years backing him up. I’d like to see what JTO can do. But seriousy, when you have Frank the Tank, P-willie, Lockdown 22, Josh “Pepper Spray” Morgan, Joe “Pancake” Staley, and Manny “I can’t think of a creative nickname for you but that doesn’t mean that you are not a total beast” Lawson, you cannot be stopped. Plus Justin Smith, Allen Rossum, Issac Bruce, Barry Sims, and others, we look like a real team and with real young talent.

According to the comminsioner of the nfl, 104 people retired last year. 7 due to age, and the rest because of Patrick Willis
