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...

It’d be fun to get all excited about the potential of the 49ers and their new/old quarterback after today’s second half almost-comeback against the Houston Texans, but it’s just too exhausting. The Texans were prepared to face the soft-tossing Shaun Hill, and A-dot Smith surprised Houston...

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...

It’s a world of turmoil around here these days, in the form of missing, mediocre and inevitable transactions. Let’s take a look, shall we? First a warning: these links aren’t for the faint of heart…or are things really not that bad? See for yourself:

Tim Lincecum hasn’t been taken by ambulance to the nearest St. Louis hospital yet, so that’s a start. Still, usually it’s fans of the San Francisco Giants who end up feeling ill after one of their favorite starters pitches in the All-Star Game. Fred Lynn’s grand slam off Atlee...

In the 1995 NFL Draft, the defending Super Bowl Champion San Francisco 49ers traded a boatload of draft picks to the Cleveland Browns to move up to the No. 10 overall pick and select the wide receiver they coveted above all others (including Joey Galloway): J.J. Stokes. We make fun of the Raiders’...

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....

First off, let me preface the following unsolicited draft advice with this: while on my trip to Montreal I read Michael Lewis’ The Blind Side, the book detailing the story of Ole Miss left tackle Michael Oher, who’s been projected as a first round pick in Saturday’s NFL Draft. It’s...

You know the old cliche, “the best trades are the ones that help everybody?” It looks like yesterday’s trade of Jay Cutler and a fifth round pick to the Chicago Bears for Kyle Orton, the Bears’ 2009 first and third rounders and their 2010 first round selection was so great, nobody...

I heard the news that Jay Cutler had been traded to the Chicago Bears for two first round picks (2009 and 2010) and Kyle Orton, and I was filled with a mixture of anger, frustration and relief. Rage and frustration due to the 49ers not making a peep about Cutler after flying Kurt Warner to town for milk,...
