Aug 13, 2010 16 Comments by Jarrod Kawashima

Going into this season, the San Francisco 49ers were pegged as division favorites. All seemed well. Quarterback Alex Smith finally showed evidence he’s capable of leading an offense. Tight end Vernon Davis stepped up as a leader as well as one of the best at his position. The defense looked dominant [...]

Before I begin, I’d like to clarify that these are not rumors or speculation. These are merely hypothetical questions and scenarios I would like to discuss…

Singletary Looks to Finish 8-8

Dec 23, 2009 2 Comments

Christmas is a time for miracles. Too bad we didn’t get one. I thought if I wished hard enough, and wanted it more than anything, my 49ers would win the division and compete in the playoffs. It was a lot to ask for, I know. The Arizona Cardinals had to lose [...]

What a disaster this season is turning into. The Cardinals are now running away with the division and the 49ers do not look prepared to challenge them. After the loss to the Packers on Sunday, Mike Singletary’s team falls three games behind the NFC champs. With only six games left to play, [...]

For the first time in their careers, Alex Smith’s San Francisco 49ers will face off against Aaron Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers.

Despite Ugly Win, Cheerleaders Remain Beautiful

Nov 13, 2009 42 Comments

Unlike games televised on FOX, CBS, or ESPN, the camera never directly featured a shot of the cheerleaders on the sideline. We didn’t even get a look at them during timeouts or before/after commercial break. That disappointed me greatly because from the slight glimpses I did see, they looked really good in their [...]

Moral Victories Are Not Victories

Nov 07, 2009 2 Comments

After last Sunday’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts, in another very winnable game, I find myself ignoring the good points, something I normally do to keep a positive attitude.  I felt like Dennis Green after his Arizona Cardinals “let them (Chicago Bears) off the hook.” For the second week in a row, the 49ers [...]

Alex Smith Boosts Offense

Oct 25, 2009 30 Comments

Shaun Hill and the offense looked awful to begin today’s game. Wait, let me correct myself. Shaun Hill and the offense WERE terrible to begin the game. From the very first play, Hill set the tone for the day. He took a simple three-step drop and tried to force the ball [...]

My Favorite Willis Since Bruce

Oct 11, 2009 1 Comment

“Yippie-Ki-Yay Motherf*****!!!” is the colorful expression used by Bruce Willis’ classic John McClain. In the action series “Die Hard,” Willis portrays a regular, blue-collared police officer thrown into action and saves the day (mostly) single-handedly. Much like Bruce, the 49ers’ Willis has been put in the position to conquer unfavorable odds. But [...]

What Does Shaun Hill Do At Halftime?

Sep 19, 2009 13 Comments

There’s no denying it, quarterback Shaun Hill wins games. They may not always be pretty, but when the game ends and the “W” is on your team’s side, does it really matter? He may win, but he likes to leave us fans in suspense. I’m referring to the interesting fact that Hill’s [...]
