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! Instead of a Sweet 16, I went to Dallas for the NFC Championship game, which did not turn out nearly as well as the Rams game...

[Podcast EP #33] 49ers Rebuilding in 2016 Whether They Like It or Not | 49ers Fangirl
Hello 49ers fans. As you know, Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers have been in the news quite a bit over the last few days regarding Kaepernick’s decision to sit during the National Anthem. He is protesting racial inequality and police brutality in this country. It’s a decision that has sparked both massive support and massive outrage. As you can read here, I am supportive of Kaepernick and his right to take a stand in the manner he sees most fit. Meanwhile, the 2016 NFL season is less than two weeks away, and the Niners aren’t looking too good. The Kaepernick controversy aside, the quarterback situation is a mess, the team is lacking in playmakers, and there is a rebuild going on, whether the 49ers want to admit it or not. ESPN’s Jim Trotter (http://www.twitter.com/JimTrotter_NFL) joined me and Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) on this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast to discuss the above, as well as: • The conversation we should be having regarding Kaepernick’s decision • Kaepernick’s future with the team and the football reasons behind it • How Jim Harbaugh hurt Kaepernick’s play • The NFC West • And more reasons why it’s going to be another tough season in Santa Clara. We know this was not the most upbeat podcast, but a dose of reality is good every once in awhile. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll prove us all wrong. Thanks for listening! Go Niners!
