San Francisco 49ers cut Michael Robinson

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...

Sorry NFL, for not selling out Raiders preseason games

Sorry NFL, for not selling out Raiders p...
Thank you, NFL. Thanks for rightly believing that preseason games are just as important as regular season contests. Thank you for charging full price for all tickets, and extending your revolutionary and completely fair blackout policy to exhibition games. Local television blackouts rightly teach us...

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,...

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.

Numbers aren’t everything in the preseason

Numbers aren’t everything in the p...
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...

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...

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...

Surviving my first high school reunion (and some links)

Surviving my first high school reunion (...
When I told people I was taking off for my old hometown of Eureka for my 15-year high school reunion instead of a standard 10-year or 20-year shindig, most of them figured I was a part of the most spirited high school class of all time. Exactly the opposite, in actuality. We didn’t have a 10-year...

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...
