I've been a fan of the 49ers ever since Kyle Williams fumbled that punt, ironically. Since then, I've been following the team constantly, through the good and the bad.

Scott Conrad
Since 2022, I have been a Contributor for FanSided. My first site has been NinerNoise (SF 49ers). I joined 8Points9Seconds (Indiana Pacers) in 2023 and a year later joined The View from Avalone (LA Galaxy). I also spent two seasons with The Tampa Bay Times covering High School Football in the Bay Area (FL). In addition, I am a two-time published author. Furthermore, after 11 years and the pandemic, I retired from coaching Girls' Volleyball (ages 5-18). I still play the sport in addition to soccer, kickball, softball, basketball and train in MMA (when I can). "A day without laughter is a day wasted." - Charlie Chaplin

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
