Random 49ers Roster Facts and Figures

I'm sitting here in Seattle at Sea-Tac International Airport waiting for my shuttle bus and I thought I'd roll out a random post for you.  Well first, normally I'm a fan of San Francisco International Airport.  It's nice looking, easy to get to on BART, and all around an ok experience.  My problem with them is their lack of Internet, or more specifically, FREE Internet.  I don't travel a ton, but SFO is on a short list of airports without free wifi.  The ones that do have it?  Las Vegas, Portland, OR, Oakland (as I found out today) and Seattle (actually only free until January 15 in a holiday deal with Google, but it's free while I'm here, so there!).  Anyways, SFO needs to get with the program.  The good news is I've been able to get some posts schedule in case I have any Internet issues over Thanksgiving.

For now though, I was putting together the Prospector's Guide for tomorrow, which is culled from the weekly game release the 49ers send out.  It includes a whole bunch of random information on every random topic you can imagine.  I might try to upload them to the site at some point for folks to check out if they're bored.  But I noticed something today I had missed in the past.  A small little part with roster facts and figures.  I know some folks like to blow friends away (or possibly scare them) with their amazing 49ers knowledge.  So, here are some random facts and figures about your 2009 San Francisco 49ers.

Didn't even know we had free WiFi at the airport here... or that it was that uncommon...

I didn’t know that Baas was as big as Sopoaga.

I was "Deific16"
The cake is a lie.

I think...

… various internet companies and telecom companies have been offering free Wi-Fi at airports for the next month or two at certain airports. I don’t know specifics or anything like that, though.

excuse me?

I felt it would be interesting to post some random facts at the end of the day. Was your comment really necessary for a one-time post?

I like it.

I don't know about that, to the groin.

Well it’s no Ban Subway They Are Supporting Crabtree’s Holdout.

That’s for sure.

Nice

Never use a big word where a diminutive alternative would suffice.

Oh man, this guy’s been around that long. I thought he just showed up a couple days ago!

I don't know about that, to the groin.

He signed just as the Subway protest began!

It worked, it worked . . . we can drop the charges now.

Just to piss off the Idiots..Wait it worked on you

Judgment day is coming!

Thanks Fooch

Always good to learn the random facts about our team. I find the “most playoff experience” to be the most interesting, as I think we only have about six active players that have ever played in a playoff game. And one is the long-snapper.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

One correction.

Alex Boone is listed at both 6’7" and 6’8". I know he’s on the practice squad but that’s the coaches’ mistake.

interesting

I’d say that makes him a 49er, but I guess they’re not counting the practice squad.

by Fooch on Nov 25, 2009 10:31 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I think...

… the NFL views PS players more as (bad) mercenaries for hire than actual, as they don’t have any real solid affiliation with the team, they just earn a small weekly paycheck.
