That\u2019s what I gave when I threw my half-hearted support behind San\u00a0Francisco\u00a0 \u00a0Even the powers that power couldn\u2019t turn things around enough to help San\u00a0Francisco\u00a0launch a historic comeback. \u00a0Though I didn\u2019t really have a dog in the fight. \u00a0To me, it was enough to root for the 49ers to silence those Steelers fans who surround me, mocking me for being a Browns fan. \u00a0I must admit, all games have their bad calls, and last night was no different. \u00a0But the pendulum\u00a0definitely\u00a0swung toward the Ravens in the missed calls category. \u00a0Especially that last one. And a deliberate Safety to run down the clock? \u00a0I\u00a0foresee\u00a0some major sibling fights about that one come the next family get together\u00a0at the Harbaughs. \u00a0Still, the 49ers lost, the Patriots didn\u2019t make it, Tebow was vindicated,\u00a0Cleveland\u00a0fired another coach, and the Ravens won. Another great season come to a close. Congrats. \u00a0It made the \u00a0mostly lackluster commercials (with a few notable exceptions) bearable.\u00a0<\/div>\n
