Giants By The Numbers: 14 is for ...
Y.A. Tittle. Yelberton Abraham Tittle played just four seasons with the New York Giants, the final four seasons of a 17-year Hall of Fame professional career. They were, however, a glorious four seasons. Traded from the San Francisco 49ers to the Giants in 1961, he led the Giants to division titles...
Land of the Giants: Back to football, please
The first training camp practice is just two days away for our New York Giants. I am just as anxious as you guys are to get going, maybe more so. You know, I spent 20 years working for newspapers. But, it's been more than a decade since I have stood on the sidelines playing the role of reporter....
49ers All-Time Backup QB
In a result that should surprise nobody, Joe Montana ran away with the all-time starting quarterback position, carrying 77% of the vote. What remains even more amazing to me is that Jeff Garcia pulled 20 votes, over double that of John Brodie and Y.A. Tittle. I like Garcia, but really??? Today...
49ers All-Time QB #1
In a bit of an upset, Joe Nedney reversed the 2008 ballot and earned the all-time kicker position over Ray Wersching, claiming 51% of the vote. I'm not shocked by the result, but intrigued by the reversal from a year ago. With training camp a little over a week away, we'll be getting into more...

Former 49ers WR Billy Wilson passes away
As has been making the rounds, former 49ers WR Billy Wilson passed away earlier this morning, just shy of his 82nd birthday. You can find similar information at Maiocco and Barrows blog, but I'm throwing this up to hopefully get some memories from the older crowd here. All I know about him is...
49ers All-Time Fullback
First off, I am not yet ready to announce the #2 CB for our all-time team. Eric Wright has stormed back to take a 3-vote lead over Deion Sanders. If you haven't voted for #2 CB, head here to vote. In the meantime, I thought I would open the polls for the next position, the all-time fullback. ...
49ers All-Time Backup QB
The polls will remain open, but congratulations to Joe Montana as he has rolled to an impressive victory. Maybe it's not quite an Andy Lee-esque whooping, but Montana definitely stepped above and beyond his counterparts. Considering the talent the 49ers have produced at the quarterback position,...
49ers All-Time Quarterback
First off, heartiest congratulations to our All-Time Punter, Andy Lee, who absolutely ran away with the victory, getting 81% of the vote. I think it's safe to say that Andy Lee will end his time with the 49ers as the all-time leading punter and a fan favorite. When I was trying to decide what...
