Peyton Manning just peed a little

Peyton Manning just peed a little...
From a 49ers-centric perspective, the right team won tonight. And not just because they defeated this generation’s Dan Marino (more on that later). Ronnie Lott served as the Saints’ motivational speaker before the NFC Championship. Sean Payton played the role of bellhop as his team arrived...

Hingis, Monta and coaches’ sons that look alike

You can have Anna Kournikova, I’ve always been a Martina Hingis fan. It’s not that I have a thing for big foreheads — Tyra Banks is my least favorite non-criminal in the world. I don’t know if it was because I’ve always been a brunettes-over-blondes guy, Hingis’ slightly...

Finding genius coaches should be easier

Finding genius coaches should be easier...
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...

A new type of dominance…for the 49...
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?

Giants have some goofy-looking starting ...
Ah, daytime baseball on a weekday. A time for a man to examine his surroudings, breathe in the fresh air of his apartment living room, and wonder how on earth the Giants have compiled a group of starters who are the baseball equivalent of the early-2000′s Sacramento Kings. Barry Zito would play...

Do the 49ers HAVE to draft a pass rusher first?

Do the 49ers HAVE to draft a pass rusher...
First off, let me preface the following unsolicited draft advice with this: while on my trip to Montreal I read Michael Lewis’ The Blind Side, the book detailing the story of Ole Miss left tackle Michael Oher, who’s been projected as a first round pick in Saturday’s NFL Draft. It’s...

You know who’s happy about all the rain in Philadelphia? Me. Because tomorrow morning, I am flying to Florida for the first time. Couple weird things about this trip. First off, I’m going to a WWE event promoting the upcoming release of the new “Smackdown vs. Raw 09″...

Whenever YouTube yanks something off its virtual shelves, you know it has to be good, and this one was. Danyelle Sargent, who was previously famous for yelling, “What the f–k was that?” as an ESPN News anchor when she thought her mic was off, came close to royally pissing off Mike...

49ers were better when special teams was...
Back in the glory days of the 49ers, the years when 11-5 was considered a disappointment and 10-6 an abomination, writers in the Bay Area and 49ers fans everywhere — in spite of themselves — took part in the weekly tradition of nitpicking. Since the offense and the defense were almost always...

(As we enter the office of San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan, we see him staring into his mirror. He’s wearing boxers and a white dress shirt, tying a red tie with gold and black stripes.) Nolan: What am I gonna do? Andy Reid’s coming to town, and I only have one tie. I need a...
