NFC/AFC Predictions: Don’t bet aga...
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...

Now if I told you a quarterback was caught eating an McAfee Coliseum hot dog during yesterday’s Raiders/Jets game, and that quarterback WASN’T JaMarcus Russell, you’d be shocked, right? Well, Mark Sanchez was caught doing what I did four times during one of those Wednesday A’s...

Your 2009 NFL Predictions...
Nothing’s better about writing a sports blog than the ability to put yourself out there months ahead of time by making predictions about an upcoming season. Why? Because by the time your prognosticating has been proven totally and utterly incorrect, you’ve already written 100 posts —...

Debunking Crabtree Doubters

Debunking Crabtree Doubters...
In drafting Michael Crabtree, the 49ers have suddenly and surprisingly added a 21-year-old who’ll walk into camp as the best receiver on the team in terms of footwork (especially around the sideline), instincts and hands. And they have Al “I’m not going anywhere” Davis to thank....

Michael Crabtree falls to the 49ers!!!...
(2:15 pm: The Packers have just drafted B.J. Raji, and the 49ers are on the board) We’re 5 minutes away from what could possibly be the second bit of fantastic news for the San Francisco 49ers — after the announced return of their classic uniforms, of course. I’ll probably be proven...

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...

Does blogging burn calories? God, I hope...
There’s so many things to go over from this past weekend that my head is spinning. Or maybe it’s all the bacon-wrapped dates filled with manchego cheese I ate yesterday (thanks, Mom). Along with the copious amounts of ham I consumed during yesterday’s Easter lunch, I’d say over...

Jay Cutler trade a real crowd pleaser...
You know the old cliche, “the best trades are the ones that help everybody?” It looks like yesterday’s trade of Jay Cutler and a fifth round pick to the Chicago Bears for Kyle Orton, the Bears’ 2009 first and third rounders and their 2010 first round selection was so great, nobody...

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,...
