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...

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...

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

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:

BASG Exclusive: Jimmy Raye’s script

BASG Exclusive: Jimmy Raye’s scrip...
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...

Just kidding Niners, don’t start tanking yet!

Just kidding Niners, don’t start t...
Remember after the Niners did their imitation of George Brett in Las Vegas after a crab dinner (and 14 cocktails, I’m guessing) against the Tennessee Oilers, when I wrote that Mike Singletary and the boyz should just tank the rest of the season to improve their already-awesome 2010 NFL Draft status? Well,...

Mike Singletary, offensive genius?

Mike Singletary, offensive genius?...
For a smashmouth, fysical coach, Mike Singletary sure seems like to have saved his best material for the offensive side. Especially if the offensive player is a high first round draft pick. He’s already had one reclamation project that we’re all acting like we expected all along, Vernon Davis....

You just have to laugh...
Don’t worry, I’m not going to go point-by-point on why the 49ers lost to the Falcons today. You probably know, because you watched it (on TV apparently, since Candlestick Park looked about half-full from 1 pm until 3 pm when everyone left). But seriously, there are so many things wrong with...
