Got the NFL RedZone channel yesterday in a fit of fantasy football paranoia, and I couldn’t be happier. $5 a month on Comcast, who knew?!?! I probably would have paid about $50 to avoid the pair of football games we non-DirecTV NFL Package people had forced upon us yesterday. Raiders/Browns, followed...

It used to be different. Al Davis was four steps ahead of everyone, and that was just in terms of jersey marketing. Bill Walsh was the most calm, lucid, normal Godfather in the history of NFL coaches. Tony LaRussa completely changed the way we think about bullpens. Roger Craig taught his pitchers (and...

It’s the time of year when you’re supposed to forget your problems. Don’t have a job? At least you have your health. Don’t have much money in your bank account? At least you have a roof over your head. Don’t have a good team to root for in your Greater Metro Area? At least...

Al Davis: I am extremely upset. I have crafted a stadium, a coliseum, a mausoleum of epic proportions. It even bares tha great name of tha father of tha AFL and NFL: Mount Davis.

What do Phil Spector, Robert Blake, and Mr. Al Davis have in common? It’s a good question, so think about it before you rush to answer. All three are the same person, but Spector went into music, Blake into acting, and Davis went into football. All three are totally washed up icons who have shat...

They go big in Oakland. Whether you’re talking about sideshows or sports FAIL. The Raiders would have dropped the hammer on Tom “At least I slapped her with an open hand” Cable already, except he’s taking the fall in an elaborate coverup of what really happened to Randy Hanson...

Now if I told you a quarterback was caught eating an McAfee Coliseum hot dog during yesterday’s Raiders/Jets game, and that quarterback WASN’T JaMarcus Russell, you’d be shocked, right? Well, Mark Sanchez was caught doing what I did four times during one of those Wednesday A’s...

The first step is to realize that we are no longer rooting and hoping for our idealized version of football — that being the 1980’s 49ers. No, my friends, we are rooting for the 1980’s Bears. And really, isn’t that almost better in a sense?

Michael Crabtree Conspiracy Theories...
Why hasn’t Michael Crabtree signed yet? Bad foot, bad advice, bad attitude? There are many rumors and speculative reports floating around the internet with the Crabtree/49er soap opera.  Here are all of the possible scenarios as well as what we here at BASG are predicting as the finale of this saga.

Nothing’s better about writing a sports blog than the ability to put yourself out there months ahead of time by making predictions about an upcoming season. Why? Because by the time your prognosticating has been proven totally and utterly incorrect, you’ve already written 100 posts —...
