As the world of alternate broadcasts continues to expand, it can be difficult to keep track of them all. Amazon's "Thursday Night Football" includes a broadcast hosted by Hannah Storm and Andrea Kremer ("TNF with Storm & Kremer"). That's where all of the action took place as the 49ers took on the Seahawks.
That action came courtesy of Lisa McCaffrey, mother of 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who seemed to have a blast during her appearance in the first half. She had a no-holds-barred attitude, and she even experienced the joys of not being on cable television when Christian scored a touchdown.
As McCaffrey plunged into the end zone, Lisa — joy all over her face — said she wanted to "say a bad word in a good way." She was encouraged by Kremer, and then blurted out, "F— yeah!"
Some NSFW language, obviously.

As entertaining was Lisa McCaffrey debunking the myths surrounding Niners coach Kyle Shanahan babysitting Christian McCaffrey.
"Thank god for Kyle's sister, because she's the responsible one,” Lisa said (via Gabe Fernandez of sfgate.com). "She's the responsible one, so Christian is still alive to play the game because of her, not Kyle. If it was just Kyle, there would have been some danger."

That aligns with what Shanahan himself said in 2017 about babysitting Christian.
"If I did, I probably left my sister to do it very quickly and moved on," Shanahan said then, per Marc Sessler. "His dad (former NFL wide receiver Ed McCaffrey) was my hero growing up. I was close with Ed and his wife, Lisa — that's really why I wore 87 in college. Ed was the man. I knew all his sons, they're a lot younger when I knew them, but they've all turned out be pretty good athletes and real good people."

They must have been close, for Lisa to be so willing to mock her son's coach.
All in all, it was an extremely fun appearance that may well end up drawing new viewers to the simulcast. Christian McCaffrey and the 49ers clinched the NFC West on Thursday, but it seems like it'll take more than that to impress his mom.
