About Michael »

My name is Michael Erler, and I live in the Bay Area. I worked for two years at the San Mateo Daily Journal, covering mostly sports, including the 49ers beat. I now cover the 49ers for CBSSports.com and it's a really cool job. I write frequently about the team for Bleacher Report as well and am a big fan of the the Philadelphia Eagles and San Antonio Spurs.

Also, I'm an Aquarius... ladies.
