This unknowable ending time is what makes it fun. It’s a little mystery every week. You’re not just watching a game; you’re entering a time warp. You’re part of a 70,000-person guessing game.
So, next time someone asks “What time does the 49er game end?” — smile. Look them in the eye. Tell them the truth: It ends when it ends. And that’s perfectly, beautifully, maddeningly okay. Go Niners.
