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...

Michael Crabtree’s the “elephant,” it seems

Michael Crabtree’s the “elep...
The Niners’ two resident divas, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree, had a little spat today. You know what this means … training camp’s almost over and the players cannot wait to be finished with Camp Singletary. And like it often does throughout the league, most of the drama coming...

Singletary knows he needs Nate Davis
Posted by Bay Area Sports Guy in Alex Smith, Anthony Davis, David Carr, Jason Whitlock, Mike Singletary, Nate Davis, San Francisco 49ers, Vernon Davis on 08 24th, 2010 | 2 Comments
Singletary knows he needs Nate Davis...
Like all politicians (except perhaps Joe Biden), NFL coaches are extremely calculating when it comes to speaking publicly about anything. Whether it’s about strategy, injuries or the work ethic of individual players, coaches always have an agenda when they throw something out into the media vortex,...

49ers/Vikings provides chance to watch popular QB play

49ers/Vikings provides chance to watch p...
While many will tune in on Sunday night to catch a glimpse of Brett Favre, and many others will focus on continuing to find fault in Alex Smith, the 49ers’ second preseason game will mean far more to another quarterback.

Scot McCloughan convinces Pete Carroll on Balmer

Scot McCloughan convinces Pete Carroll o...
Come with me, on a trip to Renton, Washington. Pete Carroll’s office, to be specific. I just transcribed the conversation between the Seattle Seahawks head coach and Scot McCloughan regarding the recently-completed trade of a 6th round pick to the San Francisco 49ers for Kentwan Balmer, a former...

Wishing I were at Niners training camp

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...

JaMarcus Russell and the Niners

JaMarcus Russell and the Niners...
Al Davis is getting ready to cut JaMarcus Russell. Hopefully for JaMarcus, the process won’t involve any overhead projectors. “JaMikeous, I want to read you a lettah I sent to your residence via Federal Express…” And even though he’s a fat, lazy sack of shiz, there will...

Baalke acts like 49ers GM, trades for Ted Ginn

It’s not like I wasn’t already sold on the power of Twitter, but I sure am now. Just found out from Jay Glazer (via Matt Maiocco) that the 49ers acquired Ted Ginn from the Dolphins for a 5th round pick. Just a half hour or so before, @MattMaiocco wrote this: 49ers do not have a GM, huh? Trent...

No “Hard Knocks” life for 49...
As the Niners jumped out of the gate last season with a 3-1 record, and the nation’s fascination with Mike Singletary threatened to reach a fevered pitch, I thought the next logical step out after a possible playoff season (how hopeful we were back then) was for the 49ers to be the next team featured...

In sports, pessimism is your friend

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....
