On the 49ers veteran/youth mix: can it work?
PHOTO: D. ROSS CAMERON We did our show from Levi’s Stadium Thursday, and nothing says 49ers football more than Nick Bosa in a backwards cap telling you that a photo with Deadmaus at a concert in Miami eventually got him and his teammates invited to see Dead & Co. at the Sphere in Vegas. Oh,…

The 49ers season opener in Seattle against the Seahawks on September 7 is still more than six weeks away. If you watched the 49ers second official practice of training camp on Thursday morning, however, you might think that first contest is just days away. It felt like football season in Santa Clara, as the Niners…

I’m a Brock Purdy fan. His story is undeniable, from 262 to leading the Super Bowl in overtime. He’s polite, professional, gritty. His biggest material want in this crass market economy is a bass fishing boat. His new contract is that most elusive of things in today’s hot take world: reasonable. So how is a…

I already planned to write this Jock Blog when we had the great and legendary 49ers beat man Matty Maiocco on the show this morning, so I did a test run. “Is it fair to say, Matt,” I asked, beginning my best courtroom prosecutor impression, “that the 49ers, by losing so much veteran leadership, so…

49ers Bulletin: Idle first day of free agency should precede active second and third waves
There was no shortage of headline moves made on the first day of NFL Free Agency on Monday. Impact players on both sides of the ball inked extensions, found new homes, and left the franchises that made them stars. The 49ers were firmly on the “goodbye” side of the aisle, as five 2024 starters departed…

The morning after the Super Bowl has arrived, and the 49ers are, in the grand scheme of things, in the same place they were last season on that Monday morning. It hurt a lot more then, a brutal, gut-wrenching loss kept Niners fans up all night and cut deep for weeks to come. The Niners…

Saleh is back, maybe, and that’s a huge win. Maybe
IF Saleh indeed takes the gig, the 49ers have answered perhaps their biggest off-season question not named Brock Purdy’s bank account with a resounding YES.

The 49ers 2024 season trudged to an uninspiring ugly finish in Arizona on Sunday afternoon. Mercifully, one of the most disappointing seasons in the history of the franchise has reached an end. The final product? A previously unfathomable 6-11 mark that does a sufficient job summarizing the hellscape that was the last four months of…
