Digging the bumper of the NFL on Fox after Frank Gore scored a 37-yard touchdown in the third quarter, to put Niners up 19-7 in what became a loss in Arizona: they had Bay Area rock stalwarts Counting Crows, from their debut “August and Everything After” the song “Mr. Jones” and the line about wanting to see myself looking back at me on television.
Actually Adam Duritz is a big Cal Bears fan but not sure if he is a Niners fan; could be a Raider Nation regular. When Stew was on tour with Counting Crows, Adam came out for an encore wearing a helmet — the Bears opener was later that night. (This was 2002).
Duritz is know as “A.D.” but to me that moniker is Anthony Davis the former Trojan, the one who scored six touchdowns against Notre Dame in 1972.

The verse is strong enough it deserves insertion here in “P.A.”:

Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me
We all want to be big stars, but we don’t know why and we don’t know how
But when everybody loves me, I’m going to be just about as happy as can be
Mr. Jones and me, we’re gonna be big stars..

Yeahhhhhhhh.

edit to add: speaking of Adam Duritz, you gotta click to his protogee Chris Seefried of God’s Child, Joe 90 and Low Stars, here doing their first big hit, which I once had on VHS from Letterman, “Everybody” — “wash me clean of all my sins….”

or just watch the first minute, especially twenty seconds of the bass player — what well-defined triceps that young man has, from 0:20 to 0:40 or so, bip. Yeah-yi-yi-yeah!
