The first time I led the herd out for a walk on my own last November, the goats listened to me for five or so minutes. That was about how long it took for them to get out of sight of the commons, at which point they veered away from the down-canyon road and charged up the hill.

Perhaps the greatest single strength the 49ers will have in today’s Super Bowl is their imposing defensive line. One of those key players is Arik Armstead, a Sacramento native who has an opportunity to stand out on the big stage, just like Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson, the protagonist of the 2017 film Lady Bird, when she finally left Sacramento to attend NYU, realizing her dreams to break free from her dreary hometown.

According to a report from VICE.com, this weekend’s big game is the subject of much attention from the publishing world, with several outlets racing to be the first to inform hundreds of readers what time the game takes place. Unnamed Temporary Sports Blog would like to now pull back the curtain and reveal, for the first time, the answer to a question commenters have asked for years: What time does “What time does ‘What time does the Super Bowl start?’ start?” start?
