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.

John Porter
John Porter is a Site Contributor to Niner Noise. John is born and raised in the UK, currently residing in the music capital, Manchester, and has been a 49er fan since 2005, rarely missing a single game despite the ridiculous time difference. He has twice visited San Francisco, in 2015 and 2017, with the 49ers achieving a 1-1 record in these games. Fortunately, they won the first one, and that's a beautiful memory, and also his claim to fame - he saw Blaine Gabbert win a game as a starting quarterback! John is two years into his writing career, and writes in various places on sports and music, but is most happy when discussing his beloved Niners!

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.
