NAME THAT NINER!

It's basically just a fancy search engine, but you have to be careful of the results. I used ChatGPT. Once I knew it was a palindrome I wanted to use it to avoid manually looking at the roster. At first, I asked about full names and it didn't bring any results, and the same thing happened once you indicated it was last name only. I ended up manually looking through the all time roster, lol.

I actually do that a lot.
But I've gotten used to it. Depending on the unique aspect of a particular name or names, I usually can fly through the entire list.
But still, I have to be careful with that.

Another thing (and I do hope this is not all interfering too much with people's Abbott Elementary.)
But Question 13 will probably be another "search-the-entire-list" type deal.
I'll see if I can figure a way to help y'all narrow that search.

Yea, it didn't take more than a couple minutes to find the name manually, so not too bad. It's alphabetically sorted so in this case it's just scanning the last letter of every name (to match the first letter of the last name) and then seeing if the name was actually a palindrome.

Oh Ok.
I mentioned "San Francisco" in hope you would somehow begin with S.

Honestly looked up 49ers players from Canada first with the 'eh' clue, lol. Only a handful so moved off it quick

You know, like Ed Sheeran, I'm just Thinking Out Loud.
I kinda believe that, for every single name on that list, a unique trivia question can be formulated for it.
It may take someone with an InterStellar PhD-triple-cubed Degree in Universal Linguistics to do it.
But I really believe, it can be done!

I do hope you be there KRO!
Hmmm. I didn't hear anything/read anything, about Mexico buying Cali. (California is it?)

Pre-clue on Q13.
Just be ready to flip through a lot of names.
Maybe I can give some kind of hint to make the flipping be more short than long.

I probably should have put some citation for that poem in my post. It's not mine, in case anybody may wonder.
If you got time, look up or even YouTube Tennessee Ernie Ford singing that version with Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred on I Love Lucy.
It's nothing necessarilly spectacular or anything. But I enjoy it greatly and I thought of it as a way of inviting folks to tune in Sunday.

I just added a Hint to both questions I will post tonight. Each hint will point to some other well-known NFL player. Those players are not the answer to the question. Their names are meant to help steer you toward the answer. I just want this to be clear and not have anyone get confused. I think the added hints will make the questions a little more intriguing, and fun. We'll see.

Let's say this game was a kind of souped up, roundabout, Wheel of Fortune, subset: NFL Rosters.
In this segment, we'll start off by giving you the letter "R."
Then, to find this 49er name, you would need to buy ALL the vowels.

The spelling of this 49er name consists, in part, of all of the vowels and the letter R.
His name [last name only] is the only 49er name in the team's history that fits this specific criteria.


[Hint: Who's the player most talked about on the Board right now? – But CAUTION! This hint could bring you closer to the answer, OR it could lead you a thousand miles away astray.]

Richie James

Nvm. Actually read the clue I was sitting on Richie James for two days and seen R
