If you were a part of the cynical minority of 49ers fans that was shouting doom in August, it’s time to take your victory lap. The Super Bowl hangover unfortunately seems to be very real for the 5-5 Niners. An avalanche of issues have snowballed into a dystopian triplet of the disastrous 2014 and 2020 […]

Mark your territory much? Wow. I write this on a Thursday, almost 48 hours removed from the ‘Slay Klay’ storm that Wardell Stephen Curry II unleashed on the NBA, Chase Center, the Dallas Mavericks and his old Splash Brother, Klay Thompson. Not in that order.  In fact, the primary victim of the explosion was the […]

The Buster Posey Executive Era is finally putting some miles on its odometer — a general manager hire, a trip to his first-ever GM meetings, a 45-minute closed-door chat with Scott Boras, some signature quotes — and now we can start to take stock a little bit. The verdict: Not bad, Buster.  What are you, […]

Our long national nightmare is over. Or international, if you include what looks like a successful trip to Germany. Christian McCaffrey is back, officially. After missing the first eight games of the 2024 season with a mysterious, worrisome case of bilateral Achilles tendinitis, the reigning NFL Offensive player of the year returned to the practice […]

The catastrophic inevitable has finally happened for Giants fans. As the sun rises on the morning of Halloween, the Dodgers are World Series Champions. Real world series champions. There’s no angle, no quick retort, nothing Giants fans can say about a shortened season with empty stadiums. This one’s legit. On Friday morning, there will be […]

Even though the 49ers head into their week nine bye with a win over the Cowboys, they still welcome the break after a tumultuous first half of the season. The red and gold limp, quite literally, into the break at 4-4. A 4-4 that is a lot less palatable than a .500 mark other clubs […]

Chiefs week. It seems crazy, silly almost, that the 49ers and their fans have assigned a name to a week leading up to a matchup with an AFC foe. But when you’ve lost two Super Bowls to an ever-ascending dynasty, and take the field as two of the best teams in the NFL each time […]

Two weeks ago, the 49ers traveled north from Los Angeles in a stunned daze after coughing up what had looked like a sure win against the Rams. San Francisco said all the right things in the days following. Coaches and players assured fans that they’d learn from it, and that while these things happen, they […]

As the morning sun rose and cascaded its golden rays over a nearly entirely vacant Oracle Park on Tuesday morning, it brought with it a new era of Giants baseball. The first sunlight of October doesn’t bring playoff baseball like millions of Giants fans hoped it would at the beginning of a once promising 2024 […]

Just a day after another Giants’ season unceremoniously ended with a bland loss to bury a third straight bland campaign, the team made waves on Monday morning, as the Giants announced that Farhan Zaidi had been relieved of his duties of President of Baseball Operations. Not just that, but franchise legend Buster Posey was simultaneously […]
