Wishing I were at Niners training camp...
Gary Radnich made fun of Matt Maiocco’s twitter habits at the Niners’ “nutcracker” practice yesterday,  and I’m sure Mr. Rabinich figured he had an audience full of like-minded “working people” who agreed with him. Not this working stiff. While listening to...

The birthday streak is back on

The birthday streak is back on...
It’s funny what you choose to remember. I was sure the 49ers were undefeated on my birthday for at least the last 20 years plus, but they actually lost last year on December 14, 14-9 to the Miami Dolphins. For some reason I put that game out of my mind. Go figure. That said, the Niners record on...

Expensive 49ers worth every penny today...
I have to say, I’m exhausted. This statement might be colored (literally) by the fact that this weekend marked the first time I’ve watched college or pro football on a modern TV in my own apartment, but this was the best sports-on-television weekend I can ever remember. Michigan/Notre Dame....

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...

I’m OK, just don’t draft Mark Sanchez

I’m OK, just don’t draft Mar...
I heard the news that Jay Cutler had been traded to the Chicago Bears for two first round picks (2009 and 2010) and Kyle Orton, and I was filled with a mixture of anger, frustration and relief. Rage and frustration due to the 49ers not making a peep about Cutler after flying Kurt Warner to town for milk,...

Still driving the Jay Cutler Bandwagon...
All of us here were extremely excited to see this on ESPN.com: “After a contentious conference call between quarterback Jay Cutler and the Denver Broncos’ brass on Monday, the situation has gone “from bad to worse,” according to a source close to the situation.” Scot McCloughan...

With guys wide open…...
So it’s official, Kurt Warner isn’t just your run of the mill free agent quarterback, he’s Scott Stapp. For those who don’t know or have erased their memories of this God-awful (pun intended) band from their brains, Stapp is the lead singer of Creed. He’s also a guy who...

Residents of the Bay Area like to say how we live in the best part of the country, partly because it’s true and partly to convince ourselves we aren’t “dumb” like Jeff Kent said we were (more on that later).

49ers roll out red carpet for Kurt Warne...
The Internets are all a twitter about Kurt Warner, because the 49ers look like they’re actually serious about bringing the formerly bearded one to San Francisco. Actually I probably should have worded that last sentence better, since Twitter is more commonly used for purposes like organizing pub...

49ers should go after Jay Cutler

49ers should go after Jay Cutler...
The 49ers are currently in the same spot with Kurt Warner that the Giants are with Manny Ramirez. If the Cardinals really upset Warner by low-balling him or making fun of his beard, the Niners might be able to swoop in and steal the 38-year-old away from their strongest divisional foe. Also like the...
