I had to measure the punts myself from the play-by-play in the box score, so I used net yardage from the punting play to the opponent's first down. Is this how punts are measured?

Don't have confidence-inspiring responses to any of those calls at the ready. So, a few alternate calls:
- First overtime Super Bowl
- Game will hinge on the leg of David Akers (for better or worse)
- Alex Smith needs to be ready to go in
- Ted Ginn Jr. will have an impact

I can't believe I picked the over. Motherfuckers better be making adjustments at half time.

1) I may nab the Costanza with a clean sweep of my picks this week.
2) I doomed the 49ers to not winning by picking them across the board this week.
TREMBLE BEFORE MY MIGHTY POWERS AND DESPAIR YE MORTALS!

Alright, all I need now is two field goals by the 69ers and I'm the greatest sports prognosticator of all time.

BTW, the blackout was caused by Vegas mobsters.

Why?
Heavy betting was on the Niners -4, Vegas mobsters were sitting real pretty prior to the blackout. Lots of smiling bookmakers after this one.

After their great third quarter tie-in, this better be the new Star Trek movie, "Into Darkness."

Wonder if the mob sent a bottle of Scotch to the Field Judge who saw the hold on Crabtree on the 4th down fade route and chose to ignore it.
