It has come to my attention that it's the last 49ers regular season game at Candlestick. Now it is the venue that New York Giants fans will love to forget because of that 38-14 collapse but at the same time, it's the same venue where the Giants beat the 49ers to prevent a four-peat in the early 90s and in 2012 in the rain, you know what happened! 
But even so, a lot of good, iconic sports memories from that place. The Catch by Dwight Clark, the Garrison Hearst 96 yd TD run in OT, the famous '99 Wild Card game between Green Bay and San Francisco and the the blackout on MNF (Which only foreshadowed what would happen during the 2013 Super Bowl! 
) Baseball fans will also remember the notorious earthquake game in the World Series that took place. Not only that, the Beatles had their final concert there, as well. Now it may be an old outdated stadium in a way but as of now, only the Raiders have a true multi-purpose stadium because as of now, they still share it with the Oakland A's. It's going to be hard to picture the Niners playing in a venue other than Candlestick for me.

I was so close to making my fantasy championship. If it weren't for injuries I think I would've.
It's hard to make it when you have to start Eli Manning, Danny Woodhead, and Ted Ginn because your team is plagued with injuries
Rodgers, Cutler, Reggie Wayne, David Wilson, and Randall Cobb were all on my team

I thought I was so clever picking up David Wilson. Instead he gave me an ulcer. Dropping him should not have been as cathartic as it was. But the second he left my bench, my season took off.I was so close to making my fantasy championship. If it weren't for injuries I think I would've.

As I watch my Giants rapidly unravel to blow this game, the Cardinals are going toe to toe with the Seahawks in Seattle. The Seahawks just threw a TD to tie the game at 9, before the Cardinals block the extra point. Crazy game, and Russel Wilson is 15-0 at home in his career.
EDIT: penalty on the extra point on Arizona, Seattle re kicks and makes it

Well it's tied now. So maybe this won't be totally embarrassing.

Pretty sure it's safe to say that Eli's clutch gene is gone. Completely overthrew a wide open reciever that landed into the hands of a Lions player. If he didn't overthrow Jerinigan they would've been in perfect position to hit the game winning field goal. Overtime now
And Carson Palmer throws a beautiful pass to Michael Floyd to take the lead, and Russel Wilson fires an interception and the Cardinals shockingly upset the Seahawks.

On average, the Mannings had a pretty good year.

Giants eliminate the Lions with a game winning field goal in OT. Both offenses looked horrible while both defense looked good. Steelers are ahead of Green Bay 38-31. If they hold the Bears have the chance to clinch with a win tonight, or have their be a win and you're in game next week vs Green Bay

I'm glad to see Baltimore losing despite who is playing them. Definitely the most uninteresting team for sure. They may not have the worst record (my team is fighting for that honor
), but the Raven's lack of mojo, incapability to ignite a passionate fan base compared to other northeastern teams, and above all, the faux Super Bowl "win" with the missed holding call & big questions surrounding Ray Lewis's steroid usage. It is no wonder an announcer after today's Broncos/Texans game referred to Baltimore as "America's Team Of Folly". Speaking of Broncos...congrats to Peyton Manning for his 51st TD pass of the season; breaking the single-season record.
Surprised to see the Saints drop to the Panthers today.
It should be his second, but who still remembers that Fail Mary game in 2011 anyway?
