Brett Favre just an actor in ESPN’s reality show

There’s one interesting thing about this annual Brett Favre saga. No, I swear. Well, at least it’s interesting to media consumers/critics/bashers/wannabe’ers like me. It’s the chicken or the egg question. While Favre has rightly been known as an attention whore for years, is this...

Peyton Manning just peed a little

Peyton Manning just peed a little...
From a 49ers-centric perspective, the right team won tonight. And not just because they defeated this generation’s Dan Marino (more on that later). Ronnie Lott served as the Saints’ motivational speaker before the NFC Championship. Sean Payton played the role of bellhop as his team arrived...

NFC/AFC Predictions: Don’t bet against the NFL

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...

Remember the Dennis Erickson days? We all hated the Dennis Erickson days, mostly because they came with Ken Dorsey, Kevan Barlow and Terry Donahue. Terrible times indeed. One thing I’ll say for Erickson though, when the Niners were sucking at a historical level, at least he didn’t do a motivational...

“Turkey Bowl Heroes” fantasy football draft recap

“Turkey Bowl Heroes” fantasy...
Turkey Bowl Heroes is the name of one of my fantasy football leagues. Well, not mine, but I’m in it. I have no idea what the name is actually referring to, since I’m kind of late to the party. This is only my second season in this league, so I’m just going to guess the name has to do...

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...

The Rest of BASG’s NFL Picks: Week...
The 49ers and Raiders have bad stadiums, clueless owners and not just bad quarterbacks, but the worst quarterbacking in the NFL. Think about it: Romeo Crennel is taking tons of heat in Cleveland and will probably lose his job sometime early January. All the while, Crennel has two better QB’s...

“This is the NFL, which means something really weird is going to happen in Week One that makes everyone freak out and wonder if the every prognostication they read is wrong. I just have a feeling this is one of those games. I’m not a believer in the Pats this year;” That was from...

We’re not going to have to hear about Tim Lincecum having a Josh Hamilton-esque return from addiction in three years are we? Surely not, but KNBR’s Damon Bruce just got a call from a Giants PR guy saying Lincecum missed last night’s festivities due to the ever-so-common affliction...
