My journey as the 49ers Fangirl began on January 14, 1990. It was on that day that as a young girl, I traveled to San Francisco with my family for the 1989 NFC Championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. A native Angeleno, I was rooting for the Rams. Then at some point, in the middle of the second quarter, I turned to my mom and said, “I love Joe Montana.” And that was it. I became a die-hard, gold-blooded Niner Faithful and never looked back. Tracy Sandler and San Francisco 49ers and 49ers Fan GirlAs a teenage girl, I watched every game, dressed in good luck outfits on game days – even if those days were Monday and I had school, educated my teenage girlfriends about Steve Young and Elvis Grbac, while discussing Tom Rathman, Jerry Rice, and Ricky Watters with my teenage guy friends. I cried when the Niners lost to the Giants in the 1990 NFC Championship game – damn Matt Bahr field goal!

[Podcast EP #60] Seahawks An Easy Win? Kap a Starter? Two Guests Talk.
After nine painful losses, the San Francisco 49ers finally got a win and are 1-9 heading into the bye week. Even though they were playing the dismal New York Giants, the 49ers played well, played hard, and gave us a glimpse of what this team’s future could be. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph and I are joined by 95.7 the Game’s Bonta Hill (http://www.twitter.com/BontaHill) and 49ers blogger Rich Madrid (http://www.twitter.com/rjmadrid) to talk about the win and the 49ers. Bonta, Steph and I talk about the game, the quarterbacks, and the rebuild, while Rich talks a lot about Colin Kaepernick, the state of quarterbacking in the NFL, and being a veteran among all the discussion of anthem protests. It’s a very interesting pod that delves into a lot of issues. I hope you enjoy it, as much as we enjoyed recording it. Now, enjoy the bye week. Go Niners!
