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 […]

If you thought the Niners’ injury issues couldn’t get worse before the team’s astonishing loss to the Rams, think again. A decimated red and gold squad limped into SoFi Stadium, then literally and figuratively limped out. Things couldn’t be going much worse for the defending NFC champions.  In a conference call with reporters on Monday […]

Christian McCaffrey has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game in Minnesota. After a late scratch in Monday’s season opener, his earlier out designation in week two reflects the heightened concern San Francisco has for his Achilles tendinitis. Kyle Shanahan announced McCaffrey’s official status Friday afternoon, and ominously didn’t rule out a trip to IR […]

49ers fans woke up on Monday morning under the impression that their all world running back Christian McCaffrey would be in the backfield for the season opener against New York at Levi’s Stadium later that evening. Fast forward just over 24 hours, and the immediate future of No. 23 is far less clear. Niners fans […]

It’s been nearly seven months since the 49ers trudged off the field in Las Vegas, licking their latest fresh wound as the Chiefs danced with their third Lombardi. On Monday night, San Francisco’s season opener will end an off-season that was objectively the shortest of any team besides KC, but one that in many ways […]

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. On […]

In the exhaustive Brandon Aiyuk contract negotiation saga, any wrinkle in the stalemate has the potential to become headline news. Greg Papa kicked off his afternoon show with John Lund on Wednesday by predicting that the 49ers star wide receiver may practice this afternoon as the team prepares for its week one matchup against the […]
