On The Clock
It’s a New Year, and the 49ers are once again facing an uncertain future. And once again the dreaded sounds of snickering are echoing throughout the league. Sigh. It’ll be a week or two before the front office clowns trot…

Fools Rush In
The 49ers are in a pickle. Or at least us fans are. The team is run by an insecure boy owner trying to fill his Uncle Eddie’s shoes and an insecure GM trying to prove he deserves the job for…

Trade Winds
Pro Football Talk has been busy the past week trying to characterize the 49er front office as a powder keg, citing sources that mostly emanate from the Browns’ FO, a group trying to spin themselves into some sort of scenario…

Gaggers Weekend
No matter how boring the playoff races seem at the beginning of December, somehow the final two or three weekends come out dripping with excitement. Because weird shit happens. Every year. Last week, the Denver Mannings led off by gagging…

Pay Back Time
Sunday’s game against the Giants is an NFC bragging rights game, but it’s also a game that will tell us how legitimate the 49ers’ new and explosive offense really is. And whether the defense can handle a legitimate QB or…

Pancaked!
Ouch. The 49ers put a serious man hurt on the New York Jets Sunday, steamrolling over them 34-0. It looked like a throwback game to the 1930’s as nine different runners combined for 245 in your face yards on 44…

They Might Not Be Giants

RIP 2011
Welcome to the San Francisco 49ers’ 2012 Offseason! There’s nothing happening. Yet. But at least the pretenders are finally off the stage. Nice game Sunday, but the best game of the postseason was Saints vs Niners. Either one of those…
Weights and Measures
The 2011 NFL Scouting Combine begins tomorrow in Indianapolis. This event is to the boy world what beauty pageants are to the babe world. More or less, with less being very much the favorite. Except for a few Pro Days,…
The Bill & the Fat Boys Division
Those not blessed with Short Term Memory Loss will recall from last week’s posts that this site is on a Magic Carpet Tour of the divisions in the NFL outside the 49ers NFC West domain. And we have so far…
