The San Fran­cisco 49ers are head­ing back to the Super Bowl after defeat­ing the Atlanta Fal­cons 28–24 in the NFC Cham­pi­onship Game. The Nin­ers ral­lied from 17 points down to move to their first Super Bowl since win­ning the 1995 title fol­low­ing the ’94 sea­son. Tulare Union grad­u­ate Colin Kaeper­nick [[ KAH-per-nik ]] threw for 233 yards and a touch­down for San Fran­cisco. The 49ers will face the Bal­ti­more Ravens in the Super Bowl on Feb­ru­ary 3rd in New Orleans.

The NBA’s Sacra­mento Kings could be on the move. ESPN’s Marc Stein reports that the Mal­oof fam­ily has reached a deal to sell a 65-percent major­ity own­er­ship of the team to a Seattle-based group. The report indi­cates that if the NBA approves the sale, the group will file for relo­ca­tion by March 1st.
