49ers Interested in Leon Washington

49ers Interested in Leon Washington

The San Francisco 49ers could be more active in free agency than first anticipated. Reports have surfaced that the club has been in talks with the New York Jets about running back/special teams ace Leon Washington. Judging from some of the message boards on the report (SFgate.com), I am in the minority when [...]

The San Francisco 49ers’ first free agent pick-up of the offseason is much better than last season’s.

Then and Now: Where do we go from here?

As one of the few San Francisco fans here in the Alamo City of San Antonio, Texas, I often have to endure a good deal of hazing due to the current state of affairs with the San Francisco 49ers. Thankfully, I can claim to be a University of Texas Longhorns fan, as it is [...]

Singletary Looks to Finish 8-8

Singletary Looks to Finish 8-8

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 [...]

Week 11 Recap: 49ers fall to 4-6

Week 11 Recap: 49ers fall to 4-6

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, [...]

Different Paths Finally Cross

Different Paths Finally Cross

For the first time in their careers, Alex Smith’s San Francisco 49ers will face off against Aaron Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers. These two young men have been intertwined since their inception into the league. Although they have been in the league for five seasons, they have never played against each other because of [...]

Despite Ugly Win, Cheerleaders Remain Beautiful

Despite Ugly Win, Cheerleaders Remain Beautiful

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 [...]

Are They Who We Thought They Were?

Are they who we thought they were? That question has two meanings based on tonight’s game. The first is are the Bears who we thought they were?

Moral Victories Are Not Victories

Moral Victories Are Not Victories

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

Alex Smith Boosts Offense

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 [...]

Shaun Hill almost made some plays. After watching this game I noticed when Hill had the chance to air it out he wasn’t all that bad, but he wasn’t that good either. In the 4th quarter…

My Favorite Willis Since Bruce

My Favorite Willis Since Bruce

“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 [...]
