The Toronto S...
There Is A Lone 49ers Fan At The Seahawks Parade
Twitter user "49er 4 Life" is sending out photos of a man decked out in full Niners gear wandering the Seahawks parade route today.

Say hello to Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe, who at age 55 will be the second-oldest winter Olympian in history when he competes (in this mariachi-inspired uniform) in the slalom for Mexico.
