Ever because the 49ers went on their 11-game unbeaten streak, one identify has been talked about time and again.

McCaffrey.

Coming into Sunday’s second-round playoff recreation with Dallas, scatback Christian McCaffrey has actually by no means misplaced a recreation since he turned the starter. The do-it-all again has damaged large positive aspects dashing and he’s caught passes like a WR.

Frankly, we knew he was good, however geez — this has been exceptional.

However there’s one other McCaffrey who’s quietly — nicely, possibly not so quietly — attracting consideration.

Lisa McCaffrey, Christian’s mother, is the co-host of “Your Mother,” a surprisingly salty podcast about what it’s wish to be the mom of an NFL participant. And because the playoffs unfold, and offbeat tales develop into fodder for the media, she’s turning into a unusual, quotable merchandise.

She’s been the topic of a prolonged interview with Andrea Kremer on the NFL Community and lately had a profile within the Athletic.

“You’re like essentially the most well-known McCaffrey now,” podcast co-host Ashley Adamson of the Pac-12 Community stated final week. “You’re in every single place.”

When you haven’t seen these mentions, you might have heard about her look with Kremer throughout Amazon Prime’s nationwide broadcast of the 49ers’ Dec. 15 recreation with Seattle. When her son scored a landing, McCaffrey, on digital camera, requested if she might “Say a foul phrase in a great way?”

Advised she might go forward, McCaffrey shouted, “F— yeah!” as co-host Hannah Storm buried her face in her arms.

Briefly, McCaffrey is a hoot.

Or possibly a bleep.

Calling her podcast freewheeling is an understatement. She definitely doesn’t maintain again, mixing within the “rattling straight”s and “shut the eff up” with tales about, as an illustration, a spur-of-the-moment skydiving invitation — which she accepted.

I don’t know if we’ve ever seen this earlier than. In an age when all you want is a microphone and an web connection to go nationwide, that is an try and stroll a tremendous line between fascinating inside tales and Too A lot Info.

With their blurt-it-out fashion — Adamson introduced final week that she’d taken psychedelic mushrooms — it’s a must to surprise in the event that they’re going to cross a line and get into an issue.

For that matter, it’s a must to surprise what’s up with Christian, who describes himself as a religious Christian and factors as much as God after each landing. In the meantime, mother is tossing out the F-bombs.

However, it could be a disgrace in the event that they toned it down. With their cheery, gals-at-happy-hour vibe, they get to all types of subjects.

Cheryl Bosa, Nick and Joey’s mother, talked frankly about her divorce. Peggy Shanahan, Kyle’s mom, described the unsettled touring lifetime of a coach’s spouse. And Steph Curry’s mom, Sonja, stated she was most happy with how her son treats his spouse.

The result’s a revealing have a look at how mothers are mothers, regardless if their sons are sports activities superstars. As an illustration, we be taught that Cheryl continues to be pissed that Joey wasn’t picked for his youth soccer All-Star recreation as a result of the coach selected his son — “who sucked.”

There are undoubtedly a few “Oh geez, mother, why are you telling that story?” moments. As an illustration, Cheryl stated Nick was “a mama’s boy.”

She additionally stated that they drug-tested each Nick and Joey after they had been in highschool.

“You’ve received a present and youngsters are silly,” Cheryl stated. “So it’s our job to assist them not be silly.”

And final week throughout a podcast mailbag episode — “Not m.a.l.e. bag,” Lisa added helpfully — a listener requested for an embarrassing story about Christian.

Lisa instantly stated, “Christian says this was essentially the most embarrassing second in his life, so I’ll inform that.” (It’s a good story.)

In her episode, Cheryl broke down the genesis of Nick’s hands-out-shrug after a sack. (Joey did it first, impulsively, at Ohio State and Nick stored it going when he was there.)

She additionally defined why he did one thing else on the Nov. 23 recreation in Mexico Metropolis.

“He received a sack and he didn’t do the shrug,” Cheryl stated. “And the explanation was as a result of he did a gender reveal for his greatest good friend. (He flexed) that means that his good friend was having a boy. If it was a woman, he was going to skip.”

Now there’s one thing you don’t get on SportsCenter.

Over the course of an hour of the podcast, the identical thought retains cropping up — “They know that is going in every single place, proper?” As a result of when Lisa mentions that she informed somebody they’ve “received the world by the b—s,” it’d elevate some eyebrows.

And if this playoff run continues past Sunday afternoon, there’s a very actual potential that each one of this — the podcast, the interviews and the persona — will blow up within the media.

And, if the 49ers get all the best way to the Tremendous Bowl, there’s no telling how far an uninhibited, humorous mother of an NFL star might take this. It might be large.

Now there’s one thing Invoice Walsh by no means had to consider.
