Is Steph Curry the greatest showman in the history of Bay Area sports? Or, as the kids might say: Does Steph Curry have the most aura of any athlete in the history of Bay Area sports? As I tiptoe past the desk of Willie Mays, sneak by the cubicle of Joe Montana and try not […]

As the calendar turns to February, the MLB off-season hot stove has slowed to a low simmer. The gas isn’t completely off, however. The Detroit Tigers just signed right hander Jack Flaherty, and a handful of big time free agents still remain unsigned as spring training approaches.  Early last week, Giants legendary pitcher and broadcaster […]

For about 30 minutes on Monday night, the Ninrs offense resembled the high powered machine it’s looked like for much of the past five seasons.

And the Niners, […]

Breathe in, Niners fans. Hold it. Gather yourself. Now breathe out slowly. Feel that relaxation? That peace? That’s the panic leaving your body.
