NFL starters sent to slaughter
NFL starters sent to slaughter...
There was something off about NFL Sunday this, err, Sunday. It started with the 49ers/Rams game, which featured the most pathetic offensive first half since the forward pass was made legal. Then NFL starters who should have been resting for the playoffs started dropping like WNBA players on slippery...

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...

This is getting old. Maybe it says in the sports blogging handbook (which is only available in soft-copy, as far as I know) that on the day the 49ers’ season ended and the Raiders’ season got even more surreal, that I should write about each teams’ seasons as a whole and where they...

Before the back-slapping and champagne cork-popping gets too loud for anyone to hear this, it’s time to sound the siren of complacency. The 49ers are so close to being close to making the playoffs, one forgets that on Sunday looms the Trap Game to end all Trap Games for five reasons:

Now THAT’S a No. 1 Draft Pick
Now THAT’S a No. 1 Draft Pick...
It’s not like the 49ers are devoid of talent. That’s why this year has so maddening. The Niners have been drafting for impact for several years now, and it shows on both sides of the ball:

For all the talk about “hitting people in the mouth,” the 49ers have been left rubbing their own sore jaws after 6 of the team’s first 10 games. Uncertainty at the quarterback position, a porous and injury-prone offensive line and a defensive secondary that looks weaker by the week...
