Coulda, Shoulda, Didnt, Why the San Francisco 49ers should have 10 Super Bowl Championships

Today I watched the 49ers lose to the Steelers. This game could have been a different outcome if the ball would have just bounced a few different ways. Its early in the season but that win would have been nice.

The San Francisco 49ers have 5 Super Bowl Victories. But since I've jumped on the Niners band wagon in the 80's, I've seen a few chances for more slip away.  Lets recap!

Below is a list of the ones they did get, and the ones that got away.

January 24th, 1982
Super Bowl XVI - 49ers beat the Bengals 28-21 - WIN #1

January 20th, 1985
Super Bowl XIX - 49ers beat the Dolphins 38-16 - WIN #2

1987
The niners lose to the underdog Vikings in the divisional round when they dominated all season. This could have easily been Super Bowl Win #3 

January 22nd, 1989
Super Bowl XXIII - 49ers beat the Bengals 20-16 - WIN #4

January, 28th 1990  (1989 season)
Super Bowl XXIV - 49ers beat the Broncos 55-10 - WIN #5

1990
This one hurts the most for me because it spoiled the 3 peat, *possibly even a 4 peat if '87 was different.  Roger Craig fumbles and the Niners lose on a fluke to the Giants. A 14-2 season, with the only losses coming to the Packers and Rams, this team seemed unstoppable. Until that ball came loose. Would have been Win #6, which would have been light years ahead of other teams that were trying to get "one for the thumb"

January, 29th, 1995
Super Bowl XXIX - 49ers beat the Chargers 49-26 - WIN #7

2011
Niners get screwed when Kyle Williams turns over two punts giving the Giants two easy scores. If this doesn't happen, the 49ers walk to an easy Super Bowl Win.  WIN #8

2012
The Niners were favorites to beat the Ravens this year. But until the lights went out in the Super Dome the Ravens were rolling. This WIN #9 could have gone either way, but since the season was so wild, with the Alex Smith drama and the Harbaugh Brothers playing each other. We could have had a great year if it didn't come down to one incompletion in the end zone.

2013
Niners were rolling into the playoffs coming off a great home win against Seattle. A few botched plays in the NFC championship game let this one slip away. It was also the day that every Niners fan officially hated Richard Sherman. This could have been Harbaughs 3rd straight Super Bowl Win. Win #10

But you know what they say, "Any Given Sunday"

*I'm sure I missed a few as well, like the 1992 season.

Candlestick park - demolition update 6/14/15

On my way back to LA from the Redwood Comedy Festival in Fortuna, I decided to swing through San Francisco and check on one of my favorite places in the world. Candlestick Park.

Its not looking too good.

The only bright spot, is that every time I swing by the stadium I alway see other fans sitting in their cars, hanging out taking in one last nostalgic view. Gonna miss this place, big time.

They're almost done tearing it down. Leaving a lone section and a few pieces of the outer bowl left for me and the other fans to stare at.

It was windy as fuck up by the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Office Bar & Grill - Burbank

Thanks to everyone who came out and performed at The Office Bar & Grill in Burbank this past Monday. We did a special night where every comic had to include some jokes about "something they fear" into their set.   It created a spontaneous vibe and all the comics had a blast.  We hope to be back there again in August for another round.

Thanks to Cruz Kim, Dimo, Chris Wivell, Tim Delone, Nicki Graham, Stephen Jackson, Josh Nasar, Johnny Kwon and Justin Kiang for coming down and being a part of the show.

Redwood Comedy Festival

I'll have some pictures from the Redwood Comedy Festival posted soon!

Redwood Comedy Fest - June 12th & 13th - Fortuna, CA

Excited to be performing at this Festival. Its up in Bigfoot country. I haven't been up to Northern Cali since like 2011 when I went to Willow Creek.  It will be great to be back!

If you live in Northern California come on down!

The Roast of Dimo - 2/21/15

This past Saturday we did our 2nd Convicts of Comedy roast. This time the honoree was the comedian Dimo. His life gave us plenty of material as we performed for a standing room only crowd. It was a blast. Everyone had a great time, including Lady Gaga who was doing a photo shoot next door and popped her head in to see what all of the fuss was about.

Me roasting Dimo with Princess Leia, Kavita, Tim Delone, Carl DeGregorio and more.

Here is a link to the video of me roasting Dimo and the other comics.
*the other guys will have their videos posted on youtube as well. 

The night kicked off with a great tribute song sung by Stephen Jackson & Justin Kiang.

Carl and I talk about how we should have been paid.

Steve grabbed his guitar and made his best "headshot face"

The whole gang afterwards.

Dimo had a great time and the girls couldn't enough of his "fun size" weiner!

Whitefire Theater Company - Winter Shorts Sketch Comedy Show.

Here is a review of the sketch I wrote for the Whitefire Theater Company's "Winter Shorts" show.
Shows are running every Tuesday this Winter, come check it out!

“Nature” was written by Chris Gehrt and is a creepy comic look at what would be a nightmare of a nature tour guide - Paul Laudren plays the guide who is proud, a little arrogant and has a few fetishes that will make you laugh out loud – and creep you out. Nina Sallimen is Amanda , the innocent lover of nature who is the perfect stand-in for the audience as her reactions will be yours as her trail adventure begins and ends in pure hysterics.

“Winter Shorts” at the Whitefire Theatre is the one place you can take the family for evening of incredible performers and some of the funniest original shorts you’ll ever see. There is adult language and profanity with some adult themes, but it will be a night you’ll be laughing at long after you leave the theatre. Check them out at www.WhitefireTheatre.com and tell them Lorenzo of www.Facebook.com/TheGeekAuthority sent you!

10 ways you're making your life miserable

I usually don't post too much stuff from other websites but thought this article was interesting. Especially number 7 and 8 which seem to apply to our current social media obsessed society. As a somewhat new member to Facebook I have to say its been good and bad. I can promote my comedy shows, but I also have to see all of the success of other comics blasted in my face each day which wears on you after awhile. But whatever, half of them are fucking lunatics anyways.
