Seattle, Washington – Just hours after their 23-10 win over the Carolina Panthers, majority of the team players of the San Francisco 49ers defected to Seattle. This stunning development all but maimed 49er fans and doused ice-cold water over the prospect of seeing their team in this year’s Superbowl.
With not enough players on the 49er team, the NFL declared the Seattle Seahawks the de facto winner in the NFC championship finals, originally scheduled for next Sunday.
It wasn’t clear how many players defected but 49er coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed to The Adobo Chronicles that he does not have enough players to make it to the playoff next week.
One of the players who defected spoke to the media just outside the 49er locker room at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, said that the defection was in protest against the 49er move from San Francisco to the new Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The $1.3 Billion stadium is set to open in August this year.
The player, who asked that his name not be used in media reports, said that all his teammates did not want to leave San Francisco. “We are the San Francisco 49ers, not the Santa Clara 49ers,” he exclaimed with a tear in his left eye.
The NFL has scheduled a press conference about this development on Monday at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.
Northfield, Illinois – Just a day after it announced a shortage of its cheese products, Kraft Foods accused fastfood giant McDonald’s of hoarding tons and tons of the popular cheese brand Velveeta.
Honolulu, Hawaii – Waikiki residents and frequent visitors alike were taken by surprise at the announcement that the International Market Place has permanently closed as of January 1, 2014. It is considered the last hold-out among open-air, under-the- banyan-tree places that defined this top-rated tourist destination in Hawaii. It featured small businesses in wooden stalls selling wares from t-shirts, to pearl jewelry to ukuleles. It was a “people’s park” in a sense, where ordinary people shop for inexpensive souvenirs and partake of diverse fast-food menus at its food court. In its place, Saks Fifth Avenue will build a new several storey department store.
Well, it appears this is just the tip of the iceberg. Starbucks has just announced that it is purchasing all of the ABC stores in Waikiki – that means two or three in every block or corner of Waikiki’s major thoroughfares like Kuhio and Kalakaua Avenues. Effective February 1, 2014, all ABC Stores will become Starbucks Coffee Shops. Starbucks has , however, assured everyone that it will add Kona coffee to its regular menu to keep the Aloha spirit in their business. It will also offer spam sushi as part of its breakfast menu, as well as macadamia nuts for its snacks. In place of its iced coffees, Starbucks will offer shaved ice coffees.
