NFC/AFC Predictions: Don’t bet against the NFL

I have no doubt that the NFL could absolutely flatten me if they wanted to. Squash me like a bug. If they decided that this BayAreaSportsGuy.com was detrimental to their business model, I’d suddenly turn on my computer to find that BASG no longer existed, like Google in China. What does that little...

NFL Playoffs: Bad games, then bad calls
NFL Playoffs: Bad games, then bad calls...
This morning reminded me of a wintry morning in Lake Tahoe, 23 years ago. Only much less painful. From their status as the most feared franchise in professional football to the exaggerated cleft in their quarterback’s chin, let’s face it: the Patriots are this generation’s 49ers. Doesn’t...

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?

The worst thing about the pass is we’re going to have to watch it, not just for the rest of this season, but probably semi-regularly for at least the next 20 years. Thank God the 49ers didn’t just lose a playoff game to Brett Favre and the Vikings on that insane catch by Greg Lewis in the...

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...

For those wondering or even hoping Mike Vick will face the same type of job market after being reinstated today by the NFL that Barry Bonds did in 2008 (or the average person does after losing their job these days), don’t hold your breath.

I’m watching ESPN as I write this, and Jeremy Schaap is reporting that sources say Brett Favre sent x-rays of his right shoulder to the Minnesota Vikings. If the shoulder doesn’t require major surgery, it looks like the Vikings will sign Brett Favre. So now we know it’s inevitable....

That’s right, you can’t trust any of us. I’m one of them myself, a 31-year-old living in my mother’s basement. Alright, that isn’t true (as far as you know!), but apparently if you’re blogging you’re automatically stuck living at home, madly typing away in the...

The sky is falling. No really, it is. Have you seen the reports? Children are getting sick from making out with pigs, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the best home team ever and the Warriors are trying to trade for yet another swingman. What can you do? What you already do, hole up in your house, apartment...
