After the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game, earning a spot against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, fans celebrated their favorite team's accomplishment on X (formerly Twitter).


Detroit native and rap superstar Eminem was in attendance at Levi's Stadium. He gave the 49ers Faithful the finger in the second quarter when the Lions were up 24-7 but "lost himself" by the end of the game.


49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel joined fans in trolling Lions cornerback CJ Gardner-Johnson.


Fans reacted to the ongoing narrative that quarterback Brock Purdy is merely a "game manager."


Even sports pundits of the national media gave Brock Purdy credit for leading the 49ers to their eighth Super Bowl appearance.

After expressing fatigue from the Purdy hate, Pat McAfee, the host of ESPN's "Pat McAfee Show," said the second-year quarterback has "it."


ESPN sports analyst Ryan Clark stated the second-year quarterback did his thing after last night's performance.


The former Pittsburg Steelers player had previously said the hardest thing he had to do was act like Purdy deserves to be in the same conversation as Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen, considering all of the talent he has around him.

The week of the Divisional Round, former Raiders CEO Amy Trask said there were "seven terrific quarterbacks and Brock Purdy" in the playoffs. After Purdy's performance in the NFC Championship Game, she sang a different tune.


FS1's sports analyst Emmanuel Acho discussed how the NFL didn't talk about Purdy's escapability like the Baltimore quarterback.

    Sports has been my first love since I was 12 years old. At one point I wanted to play football professionally. I started to take photography as a hobby in my teenage years but this was when I followed sports. I started to listen to sports radio, I found my true calling and it was to be a sports talk show host. Though I follow football and basketball, I started to have a new love of cultures around the world. After graduating from San Antonio College in 2018, I worked for the Castroville News Bulletin before going to A&M San Antonio to get my communications degree. Since I have written for the Ranger of San Antonio College, the News Bulletin and the Mesquite of Texas A&M San Antonio, I met many people and went to a lot of events. My major milestone was being in the press box of the San Antonio Commanders game for the Mesquite and being apart of a press conference with the Medina County Sheriff and other local news outlets. When I am not doing anything, I like to watch old cartoons on the DC Universe, play video games such as Mega Man and the Mass Effect series. I have also created Youtube channel called "Anger Management" with my friend Aaron Donnell.

Christian McCaffrey may have hoped for the chance to play alongside his younger brother, Luke McCaffrey, with the San Francisco 49ers. Several mock drafts suggested that the former Rice wide receiver could join the Bay Area team. "I would love to play with him one day," the older McCaffrey said in December. "That would be the coolest thing ever. So I'm excited for him and his journey, and he's only going to get better." However, fate had different plans. Luke did hear his name called on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft, but not by the 49ers. Instead, the Washington Commanders selected him. Their draft is led by former 49ers assistant general manager Adam Peters.

49ers' Fred Warner addresses Armstead's departure, Greenlaw's recovery, Super Bowl window

The news of Arik Armstead's departure from the San Francisco 49ers after nine seasons with the team shocked linebacker Fred Warner. Armstead, a former first-round pick, was an impactful force on the football field. However, his availability over the last two seasons forced the 49ers to reevaluate his contract, and when his salary could not be significantly reduced, the two sides parted ways. "Huge surprise," Warner said of learning that Armstead was being released. "Ever since I've been here, we called him the blueprint for how to be a Niner. That was the longest-tenured Niner that's been here and a guy that's done it right through and through." Warner has been in the NFL long enough to understand how the league works. Over the years, he's watched several
