Thanks Mark. More history here than I have read in the Bay Area papers, there’s really no good reason that Mr. Purdy wasn’t taken by the end of the second round. 4 bowl games in 4 years, that’s winning. Tomorrow’s going to be a great game, I like both teams, they both play the game right.

Love this piece. Rich with details I didn’t know. Purdy looks like a guy who should be preaching on Sundays. And, come to think of it, he is. Great job.

Great info and analysis by wordsmith Whicker. Should be a great Super Bowl, although many are duds.

Steeler fans are rooting for KC I think.

Since I lived in the Bay Area from 1981-2002, the 49ers became my favorite NFL team.

Purdy is a great American football story!
