Alex Smith Was Nearly Perfect Last Night, So Jim Harbaugh Said Some More Crazy Shit

The Monster Wore A Tank Top. <em>Paranormal Activity 4,</em> Reviewed.
1. Like Grierson, I'm a sucker for the Paranormal Activity films. I don't care that their stories don't make sense, that apparently there's some sort of mythology tying everything together behind them, that no one ever, ever turns that goddamned camera off. These movies work not as movies—they're ba...
When Jim Harbaugh Declined That Safety, He Swung About $75 Million In Bets
Let's get this out of the way first: 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was absolutely right to decline a penalty resulting in a safety toward the end of his team's win over the Seahawks. With a flag for a chop block, San Francisco could have accepted it, taken two points to push its lead to nine, and receive...
Russell Wilson Getting The Football Snapped Into His Ass Summed Up The Seahawks' Offense
San Francisco 13, Seattle 6: Oh, this was not for the faint of heart. Yet another low-scoring NFC West scramble for yards, points, and general attention span of all those who bore witness to this borefest. Alex Smith and Russell Wilson both threw ill-timed and sloppy INTs that could've titled the re...

Jim Harbaugh Is A Crazy Person
On Thursday, Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride expressed some moderate displeasure with the technique of Niners defensive end Justin Smith. Smith is one big part of the Niners' stellar front seven—he clears space for the run-stopping linebackers, Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman, and gets...
Less Is More: How The <em>Paranormal Activity</em> Movies Got Better With Each Sequel
Sequels are almost never as good as the original movie, so it's a downright miracle when a franchise gets better as it goes along. It's hard to think of many that achieved that feat, but here's one you may not have considered: The Paranormal Activity series....
Rob Ryan Is Kind Of Pissed
The Bears smacked around the Cowboys tonight 34-18, a score that sounds even worse when you remember the Bears gave up a garbage touchdown to Jason Witten in the final half minute of play. Brandon Marshall had a big game on the field and on the broadcast. He wound up with 138 yards and one touchdow...

The Vikings pull of the upset! So if the Vikings beat the Niners, and the Niners beat the Packers, and the Packers won the Super Bowl—you guessed it: Brett Favre is returning to the Vikings....
Free Alex Smith's Hat!
Yesterday, Alex Smith revealed that the NFL has threatened him with $15,000 fines if he continues to wear his San Francisco Giants cap during press conferences. It's non-approved gear from a competing league, you see, and that's not cool. Postgame is prime time for marketing NFL products, and the le...
The NFL Will Fine Alex Smith For Wearing A San Francisco Giants Cap
Alex Smith grew up in La Mesa, outside San Diego, so it's not a surprise he used to wear a Padres cap at postgame press conferences. But Alex Smith used to be terrible, so something had to change. Last year, in the midst of a successful season, he switched to a Giants cap and used it as a good luck ...
Who Was The Weird Guy Photobombing NBC's Postgame Interview With 49ers Players?
Last night, as Michele Tafoya interviewed 49ers Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree following their team's victory against the Lions, an unknown man in a hoodie popped up in the background.

Aaron Rodgers Must Wear 49ers Jersey Because Of Bet With Boyz II Men
We blipped about this Sunday and it bears repeating: Aaron Rodgers is friends with Boyz II Men. Such good friends in fact, that he entered into a friendly (see?) wager with the balladeers concerning the outcome when the Packers visit played host to San Francisco. Packers win, Boyz II Men's Nathan M...
Replacement Refs Lose Track Of Timeouts, Give Seattle An Extra One, Then Lie About It
A day of replacement referee miscues came to its climax as Arizona-Seattle ended up with the Seahawks being awarded an extra time out in the final moments in Glendale....
