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...
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...

It’s time to get serious and nail down what presents you are getting for family and friends. A lot of people think shopping for sports fans is easy. Just get them some stuff from the team they like. However, a lot can go wrong on the way to getting the dream gift for your sports guy friend. Here are...

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...

Now THAT’S a No. 1 Draft Pick...
It’s not like the 49ers are devoid of talent. That’s why this year has so maddening. The Niners have been drafting for impact for several years now, and it shows on both sides of the ball:

For all the talk about “hitting people in the mouth,” the 49ers have been left rubbing their own sore jaws after 6 of the team’s first 10 games. Uncertainty at the quarterback position, a porous and injury-prone offensive line and a defensive secondary that looks weaker by the week...

We’ve all seen this before. The 49ers were too mistake-prone, ineffective and just plain dumb this season when it counted. They’re on their way to another 7-9 season, and that’s because when it doesn’t really matter anymore, the Niners will start to gel. They’ll beat one...

Throw it deep to Crabmeat, just once!...
If you owned a Ferrari, would you restrict yourself to only driving in first and second gear? If you had an AMEX black card, would you do all your shopping at Wal-Mart? Jimmy Raye would. Correction: Mike Singletary would. He’s got a new toy the likes of which the 49ers haven’t seen since...
