I didn’t see the 49ers beat the Chargers 21-7 in person, but after attending a birthday party for my Nana (93) and cousin Emily (30), I came home and went a little nuts with the Tivo remote. Rewinding, fast-forwarding, slow-motioning … I’m not sure if nature intended for preseason games to be explored so thoroughly, […]
The 49ers did a quick scoreboard tribute to Robin Williams before the national anthem. If his character in “Good Will Hunting” spoke to Levi’s Stadium after the new facility’s football debut, he might have said, “It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault.” It wasn’t Levi’s Stadium’s fault that the 49ers have played so poorly this […]
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 […]
I can’t remember a time this busy since the Peyton Manning rumor mill was in full swing two years ago. The biggest news (at least in terms of pageviews on this site) is about the KNBR host who jumped ship and signed with 95.7 The Game. I’m here in Goodyear, Ariz. watching the Giants knock […]
Donte Whitner posted a photo of a bottle of champagne earlier today, and a little while later we found out why. According to a report by Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Whitner will sign with the Cleveland Browns when free agency officially starts at 1 pm PST. Eric Reid, who was mentored by […]
Starting tomorrow, unrestricted free agents get to converse with any team they like, not just the teams they played for in 2013. What’s that you say? Teams have probably been reaching out quietly to all sorts of free agents, even though doing so is against the rules? Man, the cynicism I have to deal with. […]
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 […]
Somehow the last few days morphed into “Extensions Week” on BASG, which seems to be what happens during the brief window when the local football and baseball teams are in offseason mode at the same time. Bay Area Duck Guy requested this at the end of yesterday’s BASGcast, so today we’re going to explore the […]
The 49ers’ 2013 season ended in the worst possible way on Sunday. A lot of questions face this team as the players clean out their lockers and the front office prepares for the upcoming draft rather than the Super Bowl. Will they lose Greg Roman, Vic Fangio or Jim Tomsula? Is the Frank Gore era […]
