Martin Luther King, Jr. was a civil rights pioneer who was assassinated. Russell Wilson is a football player who overcame four interceptions to pull out a conference title game, thanks to an all-time choke job by the Packers. The Seahawks deleted this tweet in which they turned an MLK quote into a Wilson meme, but […]
The Seahawks traded Percy Harvin to the Jets today for a conditional draft pick. This was a stunning move, since midseason trades are rare in the NFL — especially for a well-known, expensive player like Harvin. Seattle traded their 2013 first round pick, a seventh-rounder and a 2014 third round choice to the Vikings for Harvin last March, […]
What every pundit out there picking “not Seattle” to win the Super Bowl fails to realize is that this team is full of sharks that have now tasted blood. One feeding does not satiate them. It emboldens them, and steels their belief that every hunt will result in a meal. Try telling Earl Thomas he […]
In part one of our 49ers season in review – A Season on the Brink, we flipped the 49ers fan base onto its back and examined its soft underbelly. What we found was horrifying. Faced with the adversity of a 12-4 record and the sour taste of another failed playoff run in their mouths, distraught […]
We just finished watching the first Super Bowl blowout since Jon Gruden’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers torched the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. From the very first snap, the writing was on the wall. The NFC Championship — just like back when the 49ers and Cowboys battled in the early-90s — was the true test. […]
At least now there’s no ambiguity. Generally fans of a team are supposed to root for the team that makes it further from their own division or conference, but there’s no way it’ll happen in this case. The Seattle Seahawks did what they needed to do today in their 23-17 win over the San Francisco […]
It worked last week, so we’ve brought back the same writers to predict the 49ers’ next game, the NFC Championship against the Seattle Seahawks. I’ve rambled enough about this game, the key players, Jim Harbaugh’s pants, silly videos, and the ever-dangerous Colin Kaepernick. So let’s just get to the predictions and see how we did […]
They seem to create these ridiculous cartoons for every big game, regardless of the sport. Who can forget the World Series preview that featured a panda sawing off the head of a tiger and mounting it on a wall? The NFC Championship edition from Taiwanese Animators is just as weird and almost as gory, but […]
