I am a lifelong 49er fan. Moved back to Northern CA last earlier this year and have to say that I am very happy to be home. I have a passion for writing period but when I can write soley about the Niners it makes it that much more enjoyable.

Coffees On

Coffees On

Growing up in a broken home can often times wreck havoc on a young man trying to live up to his expectations…

Brett @%?&# Favre!!!

Brett @%?&# Favre!!!

Like most other football fans, I respect Brett Favre (aside from his waffling and wishy-washy mannerisms) and what he has accomplished in his NFL tenure. He is an amazing player and is in many ways unparalleled in his accolades.

Eddie D to be Honored... Seattle to be Toasted?

Eddie D to be Honored… Seattle to be Toasted?

Edward J. DeBartolo Jr. is going to be recognized in a ceremony Saturday night in San Francisco for his contributions to HIS 49ers and the city itself.

One Down... 15 To Go.

One Down… 15 To Go.

It was the first battle in a season long war which should prove to be demanding and strenuous. The first battle in an attempt to return the San Francisco 49ers back to glory…

The Offense: A Coming of Age Story?

The Offense: A Coming of Age Story?

The 49ers offense has been a work in progress for about seven seasons now. In that time the team has employed a new offensive coordinator each and every year.

2 Down... 2 To Go.

2 Down… 2 To Go.

Sure it was only a preseason game, a mere exhibition in early August when the faint sounds of training camp battles and ice machines can be heard for miles.
A win is a win however and as of now the San Francisco 49ers are 2-0 this preseason after defeating the Oakland Raiders 21-20 at Candlestick Park [...]

It's That Time of Year Again...

It’s That Time of Year Again…

It’s a funny thing, wanting to see a man succeed who you haven’t even met face to face. Such is the case though with myself and 49ers quarterback Alex Smith…

Roman to seek trade

Roman to seek trade

With the news that the team has plans to start Dashon Goldson at free safety in 2009, last seasons starter Mark Roman has asked for and been granted permission to seek a trade.
This news should be met with happiness and optimisim by 49er fans nationwide.
In other news the club has announced the signing of veteran quarterback [...]

No Warner = Incompetence in Front Office?

No Warner = Incompetence in Front Office?

I never fail to find it amusing when an event takes place within the inner workings of a sports franchise and someone makes it their personal mission to discredit and disparage said franchise with what they believe to be reality.
Case in point; Jim Trotter’s latest piece on SI.com and his attempt to put the most [...]

There is a 50-50 Chance You're going to Enjoy This Article.

There is a 50-50 Chance You’re going to Enjoy This Article.

There are signs that things are turning around in regards to the San Francisco 49ers and then there are signs that appear to point to 2009 being more of the same. There is of course no possible way to know for sure what will transpire as free agency opens this evening at 9:01pm PST. With [...]

Are We There Yet?

Are We There Yet?

And by there I mean at the end of the offensive coordiantor search that should have already been condluded.
Rumors and theories abound this time of year in the NFL and even a team who failed to make the playoffs, such as your beloved San Francisco 49ers is not immune. Such is the case in the [...]

Where to go from here...

Where to go from here…

Scott Linehan has been offered the offensive coordinators position with the 49ers after having his second interview with Coach Singletary last Thursday. As anyone who has read the comments section of my last article I am not at all disappointed with this move and in fact welcome it. Having gone through six men for the [...]

Guess Who's Back... Back Again... Besides Tom Rathman?

Guess Who’s Back… Back Again… Besides Tom Rathman?

James is back people… sorry for the hiatus. I recently moved back to California and upon doing so have been without internet for most of the last month and a half. This dilemma is over and I have since been able to secure a reliable mode of getting online on a consistent basis. Not as though anyone [...]

A Division Title For Arizona Averted Once More

A Division Title For Arizona Averted Once More

There really wasn’t much to laud over with this week’s game, even though it was in fact a win, placing the 49ers at 4-8 and continuing to allow hope for a .500 finish.

Mistakes and Disappoinments

Mistakes and Disappoinments

So another week and another loss, this time at the hands of the hated Dallas Cowboys. It has become almost an expected occurrence to see this 49er team underperform and essentially do nothing more than continue to disappoint week in and week out.

Thoughts After Monday Night

Thoughts After Monday Night

Correct me if I’m wrong on this but when facing a third down from your opponent’s 2.5-yard line would it not make sense to employ a little, oh I don’t know, variety in your play calling?

New Coaches, New Quarterbacks, Turnovers and Prima Donnas

New Coaches, New Quarterbacks, Turnovers and Prima Donnas

Can you hear it? It’s somewhat faint but definitely audible; those 49er fans who rallied against the firing of former head coach Mike Nolan last week and were even more adamant that the interim head coach should not be Mike Singletary.

2-5 On The Horizon?

2-5 On The Horizon?

Since it’s apparent that we are all going to be subject to another week of Mike Nolan on the sidelines for the 49ers I suppose it’s time to look at the upcoming game. I really see no discernable way for San Francisco to win this game

Changes Coming? Let's Hope So...

Changes Coming? Let’s Hope So…

As I sat here watching the 49ers blow another contest which was very much within their reach, I recalled something I read not more then a month ago.

Where Did James Go?

Where Did James Go?

Please forgive my lack of updates this week or lack of anything really. I am in the process of making my move back to California this weekend. I forgot how many loose ends there were to tie up when moving to another state.

One of The Best Ever Gets His Due

One of The Best Ever Gets His Due

Ask any 49er fan – pardon me – and real 49er fan where they were on January 3rd, 1999 and as their eyes light up they will recall a story for you…

Injury Report Heading Into The Weekend

Following is the injury report for the 49ers heading into the weekend.

A Reason To Believe...

A Reason To Believe…

J.T. O’Sullivan and the 49ers showed the world that they were learning to win two Sundays ago against Seattle, they flipped the script completely…
