Mike Leach isn’t a fan of the born...
The good-ol’ boys at Texas Tech are probably doing a boot-scoot boogie over the Mike Leach videos that orangebloods.com bestowed to the world this morning, uncensored videos that show the recently-canned coach giving his players hell in the locker room. Leach hits a variety of subjects, not least...

In sports, pessimism is your friend

In sports, pessimism is your friend...
One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....

Thank God for mock drafts

Thank God for mock drafts...
If you’re ever wondering whether your favorite teams suck, ask yourself this question: “Have you spent more time in the past year looking at mock drafts than your team’s current statistics?” Because I sure have. I couldn’t tell you what Alex Smith’s QB rating was in...

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...

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...

NFL starters sent to slaughter

NFL starters sent to slaughter...
There was something off about NFL Sunday this, err, Sunday. It started with the 49ers/Rams game, which featured the most pathetic offensive first half since the forward pass was made legal. Then NFL starters who should have been resting for the playoffs started dropping like WNBA players on slippery...

The most important game of the year for the Warriors…No, seriously

The most important game of the year for ...
The Warriors are playing the second game of what seemed like a cruel joke of a back-to-back when the schedule was released, a road game against the Lakers after facing the Celtics at home. The game takes place in about an hour, and it’s not crazy to say this is the Warriors’ most important...

Got the NFL RedZone channel yesterday in a fit of fantasy football paranoia, and I couldn’t be happier. $5 a month on Comcast, who knew?!?! I probably would have paid about $50 to avoid the pair of football games we non-DirecTV NFL Package people had forced upon us yesterday. Raiders/Browns, followed...

This is getting old. Maybe it says in the sports blogging handbook (which is only available in soft-copy, as far as I know) that on the day the 49ers’ season ended and the Raiders’ season got even more surreal, that I should write about each teams’ seasons as a whole and where they...
