Welcome to the 49er Fan Federation

Welcome to the 49ers Fan Federation - a trio of Niners fans composed of Brian Bolek, Brad Schmidgall & Nick Anthony.

People who have followed my B-Bo Knows blog know my deal. I'm a sports nut who in the past 5 years has developed a serious interest in sports investments (aka gambling) and fantasy sports in addition to my love of the 49ers. In this blog, I will try presenting a unique angle to the Niners that most of my friends would not know - from my opinions of who I think will be a fantasy football asset to what angle of a sports line I would consider betting in their games. As many of you know, I am not afraid to say if I don't like the Niners' chances in a given week. However, I can't be held responsible for your degenerate gambling ways, so don't cry to me if your bet loses. Of course I won't be wrong though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I know Brad from my years at U of I in Champaign and after almost 8 years without seeing him, recently reconnected with him at a social event sponsored by an organization of which we are both members. He is friends with Nick, who introduces himself in the initial blog of 49FF. I don't believe I've met him, but based on his first entry, I will enjoy the energy that he brings as a fan.

All three of us will be going to Niners games at some point this year (separately). I will aim to get first-hand analysis from each of those games.

I'm aiming to get weekly predictions going with the gents. I'm not sure if they will predict the Niners to win every week, but hell, we're fans, so I can't blame them if they're predicting what they root for.

Please let us know if there's certain things you'd like us to write about as it relates to the 49ers. If you're a Niners fan, please let me know and I'd be glad to add you as an author.

Enjoy the blog.
