49ers v Lions Redux

 The 49ers win over the Lions 34-31 was so similar to the 1957 playoff game. Except this time the Niners won. In 1957 The Niners led 24-7, then 27-7 but the Lions rallied to win 31-27 behind Tobin Rote. Y A Tittle was the 49ers QB. The 49ers trailed in this game 24-7. Sound familiar. In 1983 the Lions lost 24-23 when Eddie Murray missed a 43 yard FG in the final seconds as Bill Walsh exhaled a long breath.

On Not Quite Official Holidays

These are days that are treated as a Holiday even though you won't get a day off work. Super Bowl Sunday; Valentine's Day; St. Patrick's Day; Groundhog Day; Halloween; Elvis Presley's Birthday. Still waiting for Obama or Congress to come up with a Holiday in August. Maybe a National Peace Day.
