Remember that scene in the movie Men in Black where the agents played by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones would hold up a pen-like device that emitted a bright flash and erase the recent memory of anyone who looked at it (as long as they weren’t wearing those cool sunglasses, of course)?
San Francisco 49ers fans have been searching near and far for that device ever since the final game of the 2014 season. In a calendar year that saw departure after departure and loss after loss, San Francisco is basically back at square one.
