If you’re the San Francisco 49ers, that answer is, “Noooooo-boooodddyyyyy.” Head coach Jim Harbaugh has the 49ers playing better than they have since the late 90s, and he ends their postgame meetings with this rallying cry: The 49ers and NY Giants played the game of the week in the NFC. The Giants, at 6-2, sat atop the NFC East, while the 49ers at 7-1 were atop the NFC West. It was a field goal kicking game in the first half, […]

On the drive home from the beach yesterday, JJ, my youngest son asked me if […]

Rod said with the elimination of 2-a-days, teams lose the ability to tell who the tough guys were. Warren Sapp said he loved how great the QBs were in week one, but defensive timing was off. I think he was alluding to the idea that defensive guys are the tough […]
