I cried when the Niners lost to the Giants in the 1990 NFC Championship game – damn Matt Bahr field goal!

Another week, another loss by the 49ers. That being said, 49ers Faithful means faithful through the ups and the downs. SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/socalisteph) and I have loved the red and gold too long to turn back now; so even though we are frustrated and concerned for the team’s future, we still love our Niners, no matter what. In this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, we discuss: - What went wrong against the Browns - Scott Ostler’s article about whether or not the Yorks would sell the 49ers - Tim Kawakami’s piece on Colin Kaepernick’s social conscience (http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2015/12/15/in-praises-of-colin-kaepernicks-social-conscience) ...all while building excitement for our upcoming trip to Santa Clara to watch the 49ers take on the Bengals – eek!
