My advice? Surrender. Do not fight the Niner game today time. Let it wash over you. Set your alarm for 15 minutes before the listed time, pour a bowl of cereal, and accept that your entire day now belongs to Jimmy Garoppolo’s bicep or Brock Purdy’s pocket presence.
And if you miss the start? Relax. Just pretend the first drive was a dream. It probably was, because the surprising fact is that 70% of first drives in the NFL end in a punt anyway. You didn’t miss much. You missed a guy holding a ball while another guy fell over.
So, when you finally ask your phone, "What is the Niner game today time?" just remember: the real answer is whenever your soul is ready for heartbreak. And that, my friends, is usually about 4:23 PM, give or take a commercial break for car insurance. Enjoy the chaos.
