I DON'T like this AT ALL!! Do not want this, and if they are forced I hope Shanny and the coaches make this season an epic fail of access, a real waste of time. I don't want my 49ers to be scrutinized like this or this Hollywood distraction, especially when this team is trying to get back to relevance. I hope Shanny is against it and resists it with all his power.
Which would make it even more of a distraction, wasted effort that could go into coaching the team. I prefer them not to be chosen, but if they are then I hope they pay it as little mind as possible and just do their thing.
I think I read somewhere today that the NFL has never required a team to do the show if they said they didn't want to even though the NFL could legally/technically could require them to do so (if the team met the stated criteria to be considered).

Its either us or Denver. None of the other teams have anything to worry about.
I also think the Niners will be their choice. The question is whether they will choose another team if the Niners ask them to. They dont have to obviously and can force the 49ers to do the show if they insist.
Although we would make the best story out of available teams, and I want as much niners as I can get, I agree with lynch it's kinda f**ked up to film players get cut. combined with the fact that the nfl has never forced a team to do it makes me doubt it would be us.
