Ghosts Of ‘81: J – T – O
Posted on | September 23, 2008 | 10 Comments
For one week, 49ers fans have a new hero. After today, he won’t even be known by his name. He will from now and forever only be known by the three initials J – T – O.
Even though I don’t believe he’s the next coming of one Joseph Montana, or even the next coming of one Jeffrey Garcia, I still think he deserves this. And why not? The man has given us hope. He’s going to save us222.
It’s not like I am officially on the bandwagon. In fact, I call still call him JT Snow’Sullivan which is kind of a slap to the face for the future man of only three initials. But I think we 49ers fans can start a revolution. And it might be the biggest thing since sliced Wonder bread.
Now, in order for our new hero to get the proper “flash in the pan” attention that he deserves, we need to give him something the fans can repeat and repeat until it becomes viral. There needs to be YouTube videos created and embedded in every blog across the green earth.
It’s very simple. And it’s not entirely original either. In fact, a former 49ers superstar set the stage for this soon to be world renown symbol of greatness. Terrell Owens, also known as T.O., has been known from time to time to spell out his initials with his arms. He throws his arms out perpendicular to his body to form the T. And then he does a near double bicep pose to put his arms into an O. I think we can do that one better. All we need is a J.
I want everyone at Candlestick Park, everyone watching at home, and even those non-49ers fans to perform this symbol of greatness, and if you’re too cool for school, you need to do it with me now. Stop. Look. And Listen.
You can do it while sitting, you can do it while standing, you can do it if you’re Hea Jin, you can do it if you’re Young Randy. Get your girlfriend to do it, make your wife stand up and pose, go grab a tissue and do it while blowing your nose.
This symbol of greatness needs to spread like wild fire. Show everyone you know. Do it for your mama, do it simply for the man who is now known forever as J – T – O.

HJ said she couldn’t comment. I’m just testing.

Hmm. That HJ.

So the first one is a sideways “V”. The second is a scared or shocked face. The third I guess would be “O”. V – shock face – O.

Very weak attempt at comment padding and humor.
But don’t be sad when you don’t jump on the J – T – O bandwagon and it flies by you like Harry Potter in a Quidditch match.

Those pics are at least way more entertaining than those Double G promos.

The Double G promos had a purpose and I think based on your promos, I succeeded.

I would look for this surefire winner to be seen everywhere throughout the stands in home game broadcasts except that my local cable company doesn’t carry Forty Niner games for some reason… grump.

Maybe we’ll get on Sports Center.

OK Now i can comment. adding to my comment padding. Man, i laughed again at your J-T-O. I told Randy he should start it at the next niner game and maybe he would get on the jumbo tron. He just gave me a look…so i don’t know what that means. I would so do it if i was there.
Maybe instead of the YMCA dance at our wedding, we can all do the J-T-O Dance. Majority of our wedding guests are Niner fans! Sorry Ed, no Tony Romo dance.

[...] I plead everyone to do the J – T – O. You should read my original before moving on if you haven’t read it [...]
