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, ...
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...

49ers Lose Actually Good Thursday Night Game Despite Perfect Onside Kick
The 49ers and Rams made tonight’s game into a surprising offensive showcase, with Los Angeles fighting off a late San Francisco push to win, 41-39.

The 49ers' Stadium Is As Empty As It Deserves To Be
In the last few seasons the 49ers played at Candlestick Park, I got into the gate for roughly $50 per game. The swarms of ushers and ticket-checkers customary at modern professional sports games were conspicuously absent at the old concrete bowl, and so by the end of the 2013 regular season, I’d fou...

Why Your Team Sucks 2017: San Francisco 49ers<em></em>

The NFL Machine Has Finally Beaten Colin Kaepernick<em></em>
This week, the Seahawks signed Austin Davis to back up Russell Wilson. I don’t need to tell you that Austin Davis is a shitty quarterback. He didn’t play a single snap in 2016, and in 2015 he started two games for Cleveland and promptly committed five turnovers. In terms of statistics, physical attr...
Seahawks Think Colin Kaepernick Is Overqualified To Play For The Seahawks
The Seahawks have found another backup for quarterback Russell Wilson. It just won’t be Colin Kaepernick, who apparently is too good for the job....
What Exactly Is Going On With Colin Kaepernick?
Folks, the NFL never sleeps. Even now, in the dog days of mid-May, as the league’s news cycle yawns and feels its eyelids getting heavy, the continued unemployment of Colin Kaepernick is there to slap everyone awake again. There’s been a lot of this and a lot of that said and written about Kaepernic...
