Many have said that the 49ers’ only saving grace in the upcoming season is their talented roster. This argument makes sense if you ignore the talent and corresponding roster on the 2010 squad, but insert a picture of Kermit sipping tea here. The 49ers are right up against the salary cap this season ($1.348M in […]
The 49ers are currently the No. 2 defense in the league in total yards allowed, and they’re allowing the fourth-lowest number of passing yards per game (205.6) and the third-lowest QB rating (75.7). And that’s without a really strong pass rush, which means the secondary — a huge question mark coming into this season — […]
Tramaine Brock probably won’t return until after the 49ers’ bye week (according to Matt Maiocco, who uses sound logic). There’s no reason to rush him back at this point, particularly because Perrish Cox is playing extremely well at left cornerback. Whether you look at the stats (three interceptions, fifth best cornerback in the NFL through five games according […]
I don’t watch The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, mostly out of habit. Jay Leno wasn’t funny for years, and I did the majority of my late night talk show viewing during the summers of my high school and college years. Fallon probably thought he was doing a service last week when he trotted out […]
Too early? NEVER! OK, you might have a point. Training camp doesn’t start for a few weeks. But the Giants are playing some of their worst baseball since last year around this time. The A’s? Sure, they’re outstanding, but (1) we have an A’s writer, (2) A’s stories don’t exactly draw a ton of eyeballs and […]
Trent Baalke threw a wicked 12-to-6 curveball with the A.J. Jenkins pick in 2012. As a result, we spent weeks trying to crack the code in hopes of deciphering how (and when) the 49ers would trick us on the first day of the 2013 draft. Then they went and pulled off the obvious move. They needed […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ offseason from hell continues: Aldon Smith — 49ers Superstar Arrested at LAX … Allegedly Yelled ‘Bomb’ in Airport – Watch More Celebrity Videos or Subscribe In the video, someone appears to be saying, “You’re an embarrassment.” All I could make out from Smith (assuming that’s him) is when he said, “I […]
Update No. 3 (but this one is probably the most important, so I moved it to the top): Matt Barrows got several details from the report, where “sexual assault” is never mentioned. Instead it’s being termed a “suspicious incident.” According to the report, the incident occurred April 1 when a woman went to Lockette’s apartment […]
I guess the good news here is that Chris Culliver was presumably sober when he pulled off the dumbest stunt of his 49ers career. And considering this is the guy who was lambasted nationally for homophobic comments made to Artie Lange less than a week before the Super Bowl, that’s saying something. KTVU reported that […]
Michael Sam, a star at defensive end for the Missouri Tigers, took a step we haven’t seen yet from a draft-eligible athlete in one of the major North American team sports. From The New York Times: Mr. Sam, a 6-foot-2, 260-pound senior, went on to a stellar season for Missouri, which finished 12-2 and won […]
Since being installed as head coach, Jim Harbaugh has led the 49ers to three straight playoff berths, including two trips to the NFC Championship game and one to the Super Bowl. Though they have fallen short of football’s ultimate prize, they have not disappointed — in terms of competitive value, at least. Each year, the […]
