I have Jacksonville winning this outright, but I’ll take the points just to be safe. But I am happy now. “Danny will come back stronger than ever”.

We just get so competitive sometimes. “Chris has two kids, I have a daughter on the way”. “The meeting we had with the players, they understand it, too”.

There was also a malfunction with a giant American flag as it was being unfurled on the field by Marines and U.S. Navy sailors. The ‘Niners still have costs relating to their new, $2 billion stadium that opened in 2014, which is a big part of why ticket costs are high.
