In sports, pessimism is your friend...
One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....

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...

Singletary’s toughest challenge
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Alex Smith, Mike Singletary, San Francisco 49ers on 11 30th, 2009 | No Comments
Singletary’s toughest challenge...
Before the back-slapping and champagne cork-popping gets too loud for anyone to hear this, it’s time to sound the siren of complacency. The 49ers are so close to being close to making the playoffs, one forgets that on Sunday looms the Trap Game to end all Trap Games for five reasons:

Who says NFL games are better on TV?

Who says NFL games are better on TV?...
Can we just take a moment and give it up for tailgating? With astronomical parking, ticket and concession prices, high-def TV’s and traffic to and from the stadium, many feel like going to NFL games is an activity that has long outlived its usefulness. Ha. Forget that idea right now. Yesterday...

Just kidding Niners, don’t start tanking yet!

Just kidding Niners, don’t start t...
Remember after the Niners did their imitation of George Brett in Las Vegas after a crab dinner (and 14 cocktails, I’m guessing) against the Tennessee Oilers, when I wrote that Mike Singletary and the boyz should just tank the rest of the season to improve their already-awesome 2010 NFL Draft status? Well,...

Angel Villalona fits in perfectly around here

Angel Villalona fits in perfectly around...
Just another day in the neighborhood, where Hall-of-Fame linebackers who look like they could still play get bullied by little bald sportswriters named Lowell. – Angel Villalona not only paid off the family of the guy he killed in the Dominican Republic, it’s rumored that it took all of $150,000....

Time for the 49ers to start tanking (please!)

We’ve all seen this before. The 49ers were too mistake-prone, ineffective and just plain dumb this season when it counted. They’re on their way to another 7-9 season, and that’s because when it doesn’t really matter anymore, the Niners will start to gel. They’ll beat one...

Throw it deep to Crabmeat, just once!

Throw it deep to Crabmeat, just once!...
If you owned a Ferrari, would you restrict yourself to only driving in first and second gear? If you had an AMEX black card, would you do all your shopping at Wal-Mart? Jimmy Raye would. Correction: Mike Singletary would. He’s got a new toy the likes of which the 49ers haven’t seen since...

Mike Singletary, offensive genius?
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Alex Smith, Mike Singletary, San Francisco 49ers, Vernon Davis on 10 27th, 2009 | No Comments
Mike Singletary, offensive genius?...
For a smashmouth, fysical coach, Mike Singletary sure seems like to have saved his best material for the offensive side. Especially if the offensive player is a high first round draft pick. He’s already had one reclamation project that we’re all acting like we expected all along, Vernon Davis....
