A new type of dominance…for the 49ers, anyway
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?

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...

There’s a lot of things to complain about when it comes to the San Francisco Giants, historically speaking. Just mention “complain” and “Giants” in the same sentence, and any fan’s brain will become a series of flashing mental pictures featuring Jose Cruz, Jr., Scott...

While many will grab onto the news that the 49ers will under no circumstances (besides full-scale amnesia spreading throughout the entire Bay Area) sign Michael Vick once the NFL reinstates him, we already knew that. C’mon, a team in San Francisco letting a convicted dogfighter play the same position...

NFL Playoff Picks: Divisional Round...
Well so much for my attempt at a reverse jinx on the Falcons. I knew betting on Atlanta to win the Super Bowl was a pipe dream, but I figured they‘d at least get past Kurt Warner, especially after I saw that Warner was shockingly clean shaven on Saturday. It was like watching “Lost”...

Sorry about the delay in posts between 12/28 and 12/31, but I had a good reason. I was in Vegas. That’s right, Vegas. And since I have barely enough money these days to afford one pizza from Little Caesar’s, there wasn’t a whole lot of gambling going on for the good ol’...

It was a victory San Francisco desperately needed. Even with every poll leading up to the election predicting exactly what ended up happening – a landslide victory for Barack Obama – the air was thick with tension in this liberal city by the Bay. On Monday night, the nervousness...
