San Francisco 49ers cut Michael Robinson
San Francisco 49ers cut Michael Robinson...
Michael Robinson is tough, and, one would assume, talented. You don’t go from playing quarterback for the Big-10′s 11th team to becoming a full-time special teams demon and part-time running back in the NFL without skills. And heart. And muscles. And the respect of the coaching staff, who...

You have to think we’re in for at least another year or two of having Brian Sabean as the general manager of the San Francisco Giants, increasing to what is already the longest tenure of any active GM in Major League Baseball. Aubrey Huff was signed before this season for far below what his market...

Here’s how good the 49ers looked today: I’m just rarin’ to go, ready to pour a little pinot gris, eat some aged brie and complain about everything in Ninerland that isn’t going perfectly. I never acted this way during the Mike Nolan era. No, simply a game where the team didn’t...

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....

Not that we couldn’t have already figured this out for ourselves, but Matt Maiocco says there’s pretty much no way Michael Crabtree will suit up for the opener, even if he ended his holdout and signed a contract with the San Francisco 49ers today. Terrific. You know, because the 49ers are...

With Mike Nolan, it was hard to know what to think. The team would look great one moment, and completely lost the next. We didn’t find out much about the quarterback competition between Shaun Hill and Alex Smith last night, but the team sure looks a lot more capable than they did under Denver’s...

I don’t know why I like mock drafts so much. Their usefulness and/or accuracy usually get squashed by the time the draft starts, if not before. Especially in the NBA, where the general managers aren’t afraid to make trades based on a whim (or a friendly relationship with another GM they used...

While pretty much everyone from reporters to bloggers to radio yakkers wishes the overall Bay Area sports landscape would see a little beautification one of these years, you kind of get the feeling all this relative misery is right in Tim Kawakami’s wheelhouse. In his ongoing smear campaign against...

The first day of the NFL Draft was an absolute tour de force by the San Francisco 49ers, who lucked into Michael Crabtree with pick No. 10 and followed that up by trading their second round pick (No. 43 overall) and their fourth rounder (No. 111) for Carolina’s first round pick next year. Wow....
