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.

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...

There are three types of baseball fans. Those who completely ignore sabermetrics, those who base their entire set of baseball opinions on sabermetrics, and those who decide who’s good based partly on advanced metrics and partly on what their eyes tell them when watching the games. I count myself...

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...

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...

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...

Nothing’s better about writing a sports blog than the ability to put yourself out there months ahead of time by making predictions about an upcoming season. Why? Because by the time your prognosticating has been proven totally and utterly incorrect, you’ve already written 100 posts —...

Sports doesn’t stop on holidays, it just gets harder to record. Let me explain: when you’re at the house of one or both of your parents, the maximum amount of times you can ask for something to be recorded on their DVR is once per trip. Our one request was that my dad tape the Washington/LSU...

Some would call him refreshingly honest, I would call him incredibly insecure. All he asks is you don’t call up a first-round phenom at his position while he’s nursing a boo-boo on his leg. His name is Bengie Molina, and his insecurity came out in full force yesterday in this exchange with...
