Really, the 49ers can get Jay Cutler...

First, let’s get this straight. Now that Pat Bowlen has gone on record with his desire to formally cut the cord with Jay Cutler, the 49ers should do whatever they can do to get him — short of trading Patrick Willis, of course. The fact that the 49ers drafted Alex Smith No. 1 in 2005 and the...

I was one of the eight people who watched the Warriors/Grizzlies game last night, and one sequence told you everything you need to know about the 2008/09 Golden State Warriors. Ronny Turiaf was guarding Marc Gasol on the left block, and Memphis passed the ball to either Rudy Gay or O.J. Mayo (I can’t...

It’s official: Rich Aurilia’s KNBR workload just increased by at least 100%. Kevin Frandsen has been optioned to Triple-A Fresno, and Bruce Bochy threw out a 25-man roster to the beat reporters today that’s part inspired, part frightening. The nuttiest portion of the Opening Day lineup...

For 26 of the 28 entrants in the BASG NCAA Madness pool, the only reason to watch the rest of the NCAA Tournament is just to see who won. No cookies, no editorial control over BayAreaSportsGuy.com, no guts…no glory. But for two contestants (both of whom are women who watch little to no college...

Well, there goes my bracket. Memphis and Duke, just like that, out within ten minutes of each other. I had an idea that the slow, soft Blue Devils were going to get manhandled by Villanova after watching the Wildcats do the same to the Bruins, but I really thought Memphis had something going. Instead,...

I figured I’d get an earlier start on Friday’s Sweet Sixteen games, since I got a ton of emails from readers upset that they weren’t able to get in touch with their bookies before tonight’s games, or even worse made the wrong bets because they didn’t have my predictions...

Now that we’re finally done with Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we can gear up for college basketball’s best weekend of the year. Since I can’t wait until 4 pm PST, I’m going to go ahead and break down all four of today’s games and hopefully add some analysis that won’t...

A couple years ago NBA active rosters were expanded from twelve to fifteen players, by way of eliminating the confusing and completely fraudulent “Injured List.” Regardless, fewer than twelve players on each team usually suit up on gameday, and rarely do any more than eight or nine players...

Here’s how confident I was that the Warriors were going to lose, evident in the NBA Power Poll I posted earlier this evening: “6.  (5) San Antonio Spurs (45-24): Life’s certain to get better soon: Manu’s back this week and the Warriors are in town tonight.” Instead...

For our NBA-related rap lyric of the week, we go back to the mid-1990’s and Gangstarr, featuring the best superstar-producer/monotone-rapper combo of all time. Now the following lyrics don’t really qualify as an in depth look at the NBA, although you can tell Guru knows his ball after listening...
