In 2023, the 49ers were able to enjoy the luxury of some very good injury luck for almost the entirety of the campaign. Aside from Talanoa Hufanga suffering a season ending torn ACL and Dre Greenlaw infamously rupturing his Achilles jogging onto the field in the Super Bowl, the Niners’ most important pieces stayed on […]

Photo: David Gonzales About that 49ers opening night whipping of Aaron Rodgers and the Jets: Felt great, baby. Now, in the never-ending river of stress and angst that is pursuing a Super Bowl, we approach the next hurdle: How long can the 49ers keep this dream alive in a world without Christian McCaffrey? We should […]

After a summer that consistently featured no news, the last five days has been full of breaking news for the 49ers. Too much breaking news, in fact.  The Brandon Aiyuk months-long stalemate came to an official end on Thursday, as he inked a four-year $120 Million contract extension. $76 Million of that is guaranteed.

2020 was a miserable season for 49er fans for a multitude of reasons. The pain of losing a Super Bowl the team should have won was still fresh when the world shut down due to Covid.

Nothing like cramming for a final exam, as I was just saying to my 20-year-old college self. The Giants are staring at the July 30 trading deadline like the proverbial student who has spent the entire season asleep in the back row, only to wake up hearing the teacher droning: “And 90 percent of your […]

The All-Star break comes at a welcome time for the Giants, and probably most of their fans as well. A taxed starting rotation and bullpen especially were in need of a breather. There’s been enough retrospect. No one is happy that the Giants roll into the All-Star break at 47-50, but the horizon is the […]

Sometimes, it’s all about the intangibles. Not all wins are equal, and the two out of three the Giants took from the Dodgers this past weekend mean more than just two tallies in the win column.
