San Francisco 49ers cut Michael Robinson

San Francisco 49ers cut Michael Robinson...
Michael Robinson is tough, and, one would assume, talented. You don’t go from playing quarterback for the Big-10′s 11th team to becoming a full-time special teams demon and part-time running back in the NFL without skills. And heart. And muscles. And the respect of the coaching staff, who...

Singletary knows he needs Nate Davis

Singletary knows he needs Nate Davis...
Like all politicians (except perhaps Joe Biden), NFL coaches are extremely calculating when it comes to speaking publicly about anything. Whether it’s about strategy, injuries or the work ethic of individual players, coaches always have an agenda when they throw something out into the media vortex,...

While many will tune in on Sunday night to catch a glimpse of Brett Favre, and many others will focus on continuing to find fault in Alex Smith, the 49ers’ second preseason game will mean far more to another quarterback.

Numbers aren’t everything in the preseason

Wasn’t able to catch the 49ers’ first preseason game live, because I am an incredible fiance. Instead of lounging on the couch on a perfectly lethargic Sunday morning, I took my wife-to-be on a wedding cake tasting excursion. This sounds like it would be the easiest trip in the world. The...

Wishing I were at Niners training camp

Wishing I were at Niners training camp...
Gary Radnich made fun of Matt Maiocco’s twitter habits at the Niners’ “nutcracker” practice yesterday,  and I’m sure Mr. Rabinich figured he had an audience full of like-minded “working people” who agreed with him. Not this working stiff. While listening to...

JaMarcus Russell and the Niners

JaMarcus Russell and the Niners...
Al Davis is getting ready to cut JaMarcus Russell. Hopefully for JaMarcus, the process won’t involve any overhead projectors. “JaMikeous, I want to read you a lettah I sent to your residence via Federal Express…” And even though he’s a fat, lazy sack of shiz, there will...

Niners gain o-linemen, Smith loses excuses

Congratulations to the NFL, who for the first time since the early 1980′s televised a first round of the draft that I didn’t watch one second of. I know we don’t matter here on the West Coast, especially guys like me who work until after 6pm and walk home past the Tenderloin (that’s...

Wedding reception sports talk, a tradition unlike any other

What a busy weekend. Loads of baseball, a wildly interesting and comically entertaining Masters, and last but not least, my buddy Mac got married (congrats, duder). That last occurrence led to a couple things: a certain someone I know got too hung over to sit through yesterday’s rain delay, meaning...

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...
