Wasn’t able to catch the 49ers’ first preseason game live, because I am an incredible fiance. Instead of lounging on the couch on a perfectly lethargic Sunday morning, I took my wife-to-be on a wedding cake tasting excursion. This sounds like it would be the easiest trip in the world. The...

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...

You have to think we’re in for at least another year or two of having Brian Sabean as the general manager of the San Francisco Giants, increasing to what is already the longest tenure of any active GM in Major League Baseball. Aubrey Huff was signed before this season for far below what his market...

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...

The Niners are still a 7-9 team

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:

Can Tim Lincecum reverse All-Star jinx?

Can Tim Lincecum reverse All-Star jinx?...
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...

Yeah, but will he let Brian Urlacher spit on him?

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....
