The Niners are not done yet!!
Well, at least Vernon Davis isn't. He's in Sochi as the honorary captain of the USA curling team!

Davis is a man of many passions -- football, of course, smoothies, contemporary art and healthcare -- but how did he get into curling, you ask? Apparently, a 49ers beat writer convinced him to give it a try. He fell in love, and now owns three brooms, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
The U.S. curling team heard about this and asked him to serve as their honorary captain in Vancouver four years ago, if only because a 6-foot-3, 250-pound dude could distract the nine other Olympic teams.
It didn't work, as the U.S. failed to medal in 2010 after capturing bronze in 2006. Their quest for the country's first gold medal in the sport begins Monday, and Davis will be there to see it.
"I don't know what it is exactly, but it's just one of those sports that intrigues me," Davis said on Arsenio. There's a lot of strategy. I try to get out on the ice whenever I can. It's a harder game than it looks."
Hopefully next year he can use one of those brooms to celebrate a sweep of the scum.
