Pops gives us the TOP TEN things overheard when Mags visited the 49er memorabilia shop Tuesday

  • "Can I see a Tim Lincecum jersey in a size six?"
  • "Will my red feather boa clash with the 49er helmet?"
  • "I don't need any help right now, thank you, I'm just ogling"
  • "I don't suppose you have any of those "Special Edition" panties left, do you? ..... I didn't think so"
  • "So, what do people usually do during intermission?"
  • "Maybe while I'm here, I'll get Jill and I a couple of 49er's "Can Kozzies""
  • "Hmm, now I know why it's called "America's Favorite Pastime""
  • "So, when the sign says, "Super Bowl XLVI" 1/2 off beer mugs. What do they mean?"
  • "This is getting out of hand. Somebody........  Stop Me!!!!"
  • "Now I can see why "C Kap got the nod over Alex". He's adorable!"
