More than a few sportswriters couldn't resist marital analogies during the 49ers' recent pursuit of Peyton Manning. And, hey -- it works. The team's
for-better-or-for-worse union with Alex Smith finally experiences some of the "for better," vows are renewed -- and cue an aging but hormonally active bombshell (Manning).
It warrants mentioning that Smith just completed his seventh season with San Francisco -- meaning the team experienced the
Seven-Year Itch. Wow, perfect! This is the only feasible way to compare Peyton Manning to Marilyn Monroe. (On a lesser note, you can liken the 49ers to
Tom Ewell and Smith to
Evelyn Keyes).
When you chase two women, the frequent result is ending up with no women. The Niners
have patched things with Smith, the living embodiment of adequacy. There are worse things -- and worse things than ending up with nothing.
You could land Tim Tebow.
Tebow's friend Jesus has done the 49ers a favor, however, ensuring the marginally talented quarterback and future conservative politician will suit up far, far from here
in New York.
