The 1987 NFL Players Strike Created The Modern NFL
The darkest day in NFL history began with several Philadelphia Eagles players arriving at Veterans Stadium at midnight, some 13 hours before the scheduled kickoff of a game against the Chicago Bears. They weren’t there to play; they were there precisely not to play. More specifically, they were ther...
Aaron Pico's Body Punch KO Was Audible And Absolutely Brutal
Aaron Pico is immune to boring fights. He’s fought three times, and each time, someone was getting peeled off the mat to the collective horror of the audience. (The first time, it was him.) Pico is one of the biggest prospects in the sport, owing largely to his impressive showing at the 2016 Olympic...
Here Is My 49er-centric Conspiracy Theory About The Patriots Drama
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord, and it looks like Jimmy Garoppolo in a 49ers uniform. For the first time since Jim Harbaugh was canned at the end of the 2014 season, the 49ers have been fun, and interesting, and there has been a glimmer of hope, led by the concerningly attra...
Woman Sues Rugby Player Jarryd Hayne, Claims Sexual Battery When He Was A 49er<em></em>
A lawsuit filed today says former San Francisco 49ers running back/punt returner and current Australian Rugby League player Jarryd Hayne sexually battered a Santa Clara, Calif., woman in December 2015. The woman claims sexual battery, battery, gender violence, negligence, and intentional infliction ...
Robbie Gould Clowned The Bears
Kicker Robbie Gould’s 11-year tenure with the Bears came to an unceremonious end when the team released him a week before the 2016 season started. GM Ryan Pace believed that Connor Barth was better and more affordable than Gould, though Barth was cut last month for Cairo Santos. On Sunday, Gould, t...
Joel Embiid Has Monster Game, Says “69”
Joel Embiid had the best game of his professional career last night, with 46 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 blocks. He’s the first player to put up that line (though the NBA only began counting blocks in 1973). The Sixers beat the Lakers, 115-109, in a game where they shot just 22 percent from...
Marquise Goodwin Scored A TD Hours After His Wife Lost A Pregnancy
In the second quarter of the 49ers’ first win of the season, a 31-21 victory over the Giants, Olympian-turned-wide-receiver Marquise Goodwin hauled in an 83-yard touchdown and immediately dropped to his knees in prayer. ...
Niners Interrupt Their Rebuild To Smack Down Ben McAdoo And The Giants<em></em>
The San Francisco 49ers earned their first win of the season today, in Week 10, by beating the Giants 31-21. And yes, it still counts as a win even if it’s against Ben McAdoo’s band of injured skill players and demotivated defensemen. Led by a quarterback they don’t even plan to start in two weeks, ...
Boston Sports Radio Chud Apologizes For Idiotic Rant About Roy Halladay's Death
Boston-based Felger and Mazz co-host Michael Felger went for 11 minutes on Wednesday’s show mocking MLB pitcher Roy Halladay’s death and calling him a “moron,” which was a bizarre, stupid angle to take the day after a guy died. On today’s show, Felger issued an apology....
Boston Sports Radio Chud Goes On Long Rant About How Roy Halladay Deserved To Die
On today’s broadcast of Boston sports radio show Felger and Mazz, co-host Michael Felger went on a long and genuinely astonishing rant about the recent death of former MLB pitcher Roy Halladay. Felger’s central point, which he reiterates with his obnoxious braying for about 10 minutes, is that Halla...
Cardinals-49ers Scuffle Prompts Official’s Glorious Hat Toss
During an especially heated Sunday for the NFL, one fight late in the Cardinals-49ers game ended with one of my personal favorite NFL sights: an official, out of flags, throwing his hat in the air in order to call an additional penalty....

49ers Ask Their Fans If Winning Is Important
Credit where it’s due: 49ers owner Jed York has been relatively conscientious and forthright on the subject of the racial and social-justice issues at the heart of the NFL player protests. But York is still an NFL owner, and the NFL is still a business. Winning football games? A negotiable priority,...
At Least One NFL Owner Cleared A Very Low Bar On Anthem Protests
Leaving a hotel in Manhattan Wednesday afternoon, San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York told me that he believes that “ultimately, social justice is not a political issue.” Meaning, contextually, that it’s not a partisan political issue, from his perspective. Or shouldn’t be, at least....

Fragile Stooge Mike Pence Walks Out Of 49ers-Colts Because Of Anthem Demonstration [Updates]
Mike Pence, a cauliflower that was once victimized by the movie Mulan, claimed that he walked out of today’s 49ers-Colts game, because the players supposedly disrespected the troops during the rote nationalistic pre-game ceremony. While the Colts stood arm-in-arm during the anthem, a reported 23 mem...
<i>Blade Runner 2049</i> Is A Hallucinatory Wonder<em></em>
The only bright colors in Blade Runner 2049 are artificial. There’s a holographic advertisement of a 60-foot-tall naked lady, whose shiny-black eyes only serve to highlight her bubblegum pink body and neon blue hair. There’s a forest, but it’s someone’s dream....
