If you ever had any question as to how far removed he’s become from the majority of sports fans throughout the country, read Bill Simmons’ rules on how to improve fantasy football. Apparently, we’re all lame if we don’t do auction leagues, because what fun is getting together...

No “Hard Knocks” life for 49ers
No “Hard Knocks” life for 49...
As the Niners jumped out of the gate last season with a 3-1 record, and the nation’s fascination with Mike Singletary threatened to reach a fevered pitch, I thought the next logical step out after a possible playoff season (how hopeful we were back then) was for the 49ers to be the next team featured...

Thank God for mock drafts
Thank God for mock drafts...
If you’re ever wondering whether your favorite teams suck, ask yourself this question: “Have you spent more time in the past year looking at mock drafts than your team’s current statistics?” Because I sure have. I couldn’t tell you what Alex Smith’s QB rating was in...

Monta Ellis hurts his other ankle
Monta Ellis hurts his other ankle...
The Warriors can’t win for losing…players. Every game it’s another guy grabbing his ankle and hobbling off the floor, and last night it was the ironman. Monta Ellis hurt his “other” ankle this time, so at least we know the guy will finally enjoy some physical symmetry. Because...

Expensive 49ers worth every penny today...
I have to say, I’m exhausted. This statement might be colored (literally) by the fact that this weekend marked the first time I’ve watched college or pro football on a modern TV in my own apartment, but this was the best sports-on-television weekend I can ever remember. Michigan/Notre Dame....

When Joe Montana and Steve Young competed for the heart of Bill Walsh in the late 1980′s, they didn’t just polarize an entire region. They also hated each other. Young always said the right things publicly, belying his carefully crafted media persona and lawyer’s mentality. Montana’s...

I’m not going to go all draft crazy tonight. I just can’t. There’s only thing we know about the who the Warriors are going to select is that it won’t be Jordan Hill. The Warriors already had two young 6’10″ forwards that Don Nelson didn’t really like using last...

Will all the physical skirmishes this week in the NBA Playoffs, you can’t blame Shaq for training in Mixed Martial Arts. That’s right, the most frightening physical presence in the NBA since Charles Oakley is in the gym as we speak, studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and talking of a post-NBA career...

Best Week Ever? Yeah, Right
Best Week Ever? Yeah, Right...
As I sit here and wait to watch an afternoon full of rain delays at Mays Field on my television, I can’t help but wonder why everyone says this is the best sports week of the year. Sure, it’s nice that baseball’s back, but it’s painfully obvious that the NCAA Tournament has become...

NBA Tuesday: Nellie dug his own grave
NBA Tuesday: Nellie dug his own grave...
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...
