FanPost

Who do you follow?

After this week of uncertainty and change there were many things to talk about, but these talking points have given me nothing in the way of pleasure, and nothing in the way of feeling like a community of football fans. So I give this fanpost to you my beloved Niners Nation Faithful, to get my our minds off of the present situation, of which we have no hope to control or contain.

My motto as a fan has always been, "I am a football fan first, 49ers fan second" and it has served me well. From going to watch high school games and watching just the general greatness that is our game of football every week from many teams in America and abroad (Japan and Germany have many teams and and avid fans, not to mention our beloved resident LondonNiner) the love of football has not let me down like my 49ers sometimes do.

Because of this I have become a fan of many different players, former 49ers and otherwise. The simple joy of playing from many of the players around the NFL keeps me watching and hoping for their next opportunity. They do not play for the fame, they do not play for the money, they play because it is their dream to play.

People I love to follow for this reason include:

Tom Brandstater, QB for the Colts [Highlights for both Bear and Tom here]

Bear Pascoe, TE for the Giants (yes, good ol' Bear)

Peyton Hillis, RB for the Browns. (one of his most recent beastly runs here, he tore up the Ravens) I have followed him since his draft day, I am so excited he has finally gotten some exposure and appreciation! Unlike when he was under McDaniels.

Ian Johnson, RB recently released by the Vikings, picked up by Arizona, and released by them on the 27th. Yes I still follow this lovable guy who proposed to his girlfriend after a winning 2 point conversion. However, he is going to have a hard time in free agency. (a video video before the madness; could he be our future?!?!?!)

PJ Hill, RB for the Saints. A journeyman. Was put on injured reserve which sucks, but man was he good at Wisconsin. (highlight film here but be sure to turn the volume down, the music is terrible)

Danny Woodhead, RB for the Patriots was fun to watch as well! I was very confused when the Jets cut him, but more power to him on the Patriots! (video of his Jets preseason here )

Who do you like to follow? I'd like to see some of the young talent around!
