It's Almost Colin Kaepernick Time
The San Francisco 49ers are bad, and their starting quarterback, Blaine Gabbert, is also bad. Gabbert was terrible against the Cardinals last night, throwing for just 162 yards while getting picked off twice, and he’s now got six picks and five TDs to go along with a completion percentage of 58. Th...
Terry Francona Demonstrates How To Manage A Playoff Bullpen
“Nobody ever said you have to be conventional to win,” Indians manager Terry Francona said last night, but I’d argue there are few things in baseball more conventional than using your best reliever to face an opponent’s best hitters in a one-run game. And so what if it was the fifth inning? The next...
The Only Good 49ers Highlight Tonight Was Anthony Davis Doing Rude Blaine Gabbert Tweets
The 49ers lost to the Carson Palmer-less Cardinals by 12 points tonight in front of about 50 or 60 fans. Blaine Gabbert laid an egg and threw for 162 yards, along with a pair of picks and a pair of touchdowns. The most noteworthy thing the team did on the field was knock coconuts. The best highlight...

Still Unclear About Whether My Eyes Are Deceiving Me Or Not

Antoine Bethea Goes In For Big Hit, Ends Up Taking Out His Own Teammate
49ers safety Antoine Bethea got a little overzealous while going for the ball (ostensibly) on this play. Instead of getting the pick or landing a hit on Cardinals receiver J.J. Nelson, Bethea slammed teammate Tramaine Brock right in the head. Brock had just managed to break up the deep ball, and he ...
