Reply to comment by MettaWorldPeece in Cowboys-49ers rivalry set for record-tying 9th playoff game by TexOliver93
When I was a kid (in the late 80s early 90s) it was absolutely a thing. I recall a game in the early 90s where multiple players were ejected for a fight that broke out on the field.
It was like watching the Ravens and Bengals play now.
That said, I grew up in Chicago, so my 2 favorite teams are the Bears and whomever is currently beating the living snot out of Green Bay. I felt like a traitor 2 weeks ago uttering the phrase "Go Lions".

Hasn’t been a rivalry since the mid 90s. But this game will reignite the rivalry for a whole new generation of fans. We got them last year. Let’s see what happens this year.

Has a team ever won the Super Bowl with a QB younger than the college natty champ QB?
Looks like there are 3 starting QBs in the playoffs that are all younger than Stetson.
Just curious.

Yes. Division rivals, 49er and Packers (to a lesser extend) Those are the rivals. Others are just opponents

Always. Cowgirls are trash.

As a niners fan I had no idea cowboys were our rivals? I always assumed it was the raiders but I guess it just isn’t the same anymore when we’re not forced to share the bay

I view Niners as our biggest rival. Only other NFC team with 5 super bowls. So many legendary games

Yup. Absolutely hate the cowboys. Hell, I don't even want the niners to win. I just want the cowboys to lose.

You have to be 40+ or a total geek of either team to see this rivalry. That's actually a lot of fans though.

Meh, I am biased as a Seahawks fan but this just doesn’t seem like a rivalry anymore.

Just rest up in time for the clay court season.
Focus on grabbing and defending points at your best surface.

And then make the logo Felix the Cat just to piss people off....

“Usually reserved for major donors..”
And then later ..
“..be curious to learn more about her talent, grit and generosity," USC president Carol Folt said.”
She could have been referring to generosity of time but I would be truly shocked if USC missed an opportunity to grab some cash.
Either way, great honor for her.

Do 49ers/Cowboys fans really view each other as rivals?

I rather like the alliteration of ‘Felix Field’

Reply to comment by jeba in UFC releases heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou from contract, strips him of title by HeStoleMyBalloons
Yeah, that spoke volumes about his character. It says a lot that he is walking away from the UFC, while its president sticks around after beating his wife in public with no repercussions from Endeavor or Disney.
My hope is that Francis leads the charge for a union when he retires from fighting.

Fans definitely share a certain responsibility here as well. Unfortunately a significant portion of the fanbase subscribes to the "just bleed" mantra, as many of those who care about the fighters have stepped away from the sport due to the lack of protections for fighter well-being.

Roethlisberger was the youngest QB to win the superbowl, at 23. But his birthday is March 2nd, so he was nearly 24. Vince young won the championship that year and was two months older.
Edit: Vince was a year younger, so to answer your question, yes it would be a first
