Cardinals set house rules for new 49ers roommates
The San Francisco 49ers will call State Farm Stadium their home for at least the next two games, starting on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. Being a good guest means following the rules, and the Cardinals shared theirs this week via Twitter after the 49ers complimented the stadium's color scheme.
That certainly sounds fair.
The 49ers were forced to find a temporary home after Santa Clara County updated its COVID-19 restrictions, which went into effect on Monday and include a ban on collegiate and professional contact sports. The new restrictions come after a surge in COVID-19 cases throughout Santa Clara County and the state of California.
The numbers aren't necessarily better in Maricopa County in Arizona. Still, the current restrictions in place won't ban professional sports, so long as none of the general public is allowed in attendance.
Update: The hilarity between the social media accounts for the 49ers and Cardinals continued.

Adam Rank can't believe ex-49ers LB Patrick Willis isn't a Hall of Fame finalist

For the second consecutive year, former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis failed to make the cutdown from 25 modern-era semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame to 15 finalists. Many were shocked when Willis' name wasn't among the list of finalists last year. Imagine how they feel after it happened again.
NFL Media analyst Adam Rank was among those "absolutely stunned" in 2020 when Willis' name was left off last year's list of finalists.
"I thought he was one of the few automatic selections," Rank wrote last year. "But apparently some Hall of Fame voters tend to favor longevity over guys who were dominant over a shorter period of
