As Chick Hearn might say, the refrigerator door’s closed and the Jell-O Shots are jiggling. At the official BASG apartment (or as I sometimes like to call it, The Epicenter), we’re ready for Super Bowl XLIII. Well, ready to go to a friend’s house for a Super Bowl party, anyway. If you...

Last night before I went to bed I caught the half-hour compressed show about Super Bowl XXXVI on ESPN, where the Patriots won their first Super Bowl against Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Rams. Nearly the whole game Warner was obviously bothered by his right thumb, shaking his hand before taking snaps...

Super Bowl?  Meg Marlin don’t need no steenking Super Bowl. Actually, I love the NFL.  It’s just that the prospect of an Arizona-Pittsburgh matchup leaves me cold.  Thankfully, though, this weekend still gives me lots to be pumped up about:  UFC 94 will be the UFC’s equivalent...

I’ve always wanted to see The Boss in concert, perhaps even more so since last summer. I was one of the lucky fans who managed to snag tickets to his Meadowlands, NJ concert. And on my way there, I was one of the unlucky few who just happened to run over a nail. Yep, flat tire, baby. Calling AAA...

After weeks of interviews and deliberation, Mike Singletary has finally settled on that fat offensive lineman with all the concussions from Varsity Blues as his offensive coordinator. Wait, his name was Billy Bob, not Jimmy Raye? My bad. Jimmy Bob Raye comes to the 49ers after a stint as the New York...
