Yesterday was a great day for our local sports teams, especially the 49ers who beat the Saints to move on to the NFC championship game next week. It was a very exciting game. Even though the Saints were favored to win, and their quarterback Drew Breese is truly exceptional, the 49ers went out to a 17-0 lead. The 49ers kept their lead until well into the fourth quarter when the Saints finally went ahead. Then in the last few minutes everything exploded and both teams started scoring touchdowns. Finally the 49ers could have kicked a field goal and sent the game into overtime but they passed for a touchdown instead. Josh had brought in burgers and fries, and he and I went crazy like everyone in the stands at the game. I hope they can win next week too, but Green Bay is going to be tough to beat. After the 49ers won, we switched to watch the Sharks beat Columbus 2-1 in hockey, so both home teams won for the Bay Area. I feel good today.
