Isaiah Crowell and the Disappointment of Unrealistic Expectations Unrealized
We shouldn’t even be having this conversation. In a sane, rational world, one where talent and mastery of craft counted for something, I wouldn’t feel the need to justify my love for Daryl Hall and John Oates. Their greatness would be evident to anyone with functioning ears. Robert Dean Lurie...
'Dawgs by Decades: One Man's Odyssey as a Georgia Bulldogs Fan
(Author’s Note I: Originally, I had intended to publish this posting on Sunday, but, because I inadvertently touched off a small controversy in the meantime, I decided to delay this posting, out of fear that it would not be well received. I hope that series of minor misunderstandings will not...
Sunday YouTube: Garrison Hearst 96 yard TD run to beat the Jets
Last week we began what I hope will be a regular feature called simply "Sunday YouTube." Last week's video featured highlights from the 49ers epic comeback to beat the Giants in the 2002 NFC Wildcard playoffs. This week is much shorter, but is a fun play nonetheless. Garrison Hearst is arguably one...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2004
If you're here to read about 2004, I assume that you're mostly here for the lulz. Usually I try to maintain a more professional voice in my preambles, but it's hard to remember the quagmire that was the 49ers' 2004 season in any way that inspires anything in between tearful laughter or venomous...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2003
Come all ye masochists, gather round. That sick pleasure that you take when Dennis Erickson flits across your disheveled mind will be well served here. That fascination with destructive infighting, the magnetic attraction that you feel toward heart-wrenching loss - all of your greatest fantasies...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2001
I want to reintroduce everybody to the Year-by-Year feature on the website. This is my second comeback in the last month or so, and this one should be for good. I have been going through every 49ers season since the team's inception in 1946 and writing full summaries of some of the most important...
49ers Year-by-Year: 2000
After a relatively long hiatus, the Year-by-Feature is back with a vengeance. It has been a while since I've been able to give you one of these and it might be a few more weeks before I can give you another, but I wanted to strike while I had a little free time from the holiday season and my own...
Shawntae Spencer awarded 2009 Ed Block Courage Award
It's rather solid timing that we find this out following this morning's post about DeSean Jackson. The 49ers announced that CB Shawntae Spencer has been awarded the team's Ed Block Courage Award. The award is voted on by the players and is given annually to the player that exemplifies a...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1999
1999 wasn't the beginning of the end for the 49ers' storied dynasty. It was an affirmation of the end. With the loss of Steve Young and the continued absence of Garrison Hearst, the San Francisco 49ers discovered that their talent had diminished to the point where success was unsustainable. But as...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1997
Welcome to the 1997 edition of the 49ers Year-by-Year. Many probably remember this as the season that Warren Sapp took down Steve Young and Jerry Rice in one game, but the rest of the season was - for the most part - a true triumph for the aging, evolving 49ers franchise. Do you know know what...
