This caused a stir among some 49ers fans, some of them confused and demanded repercussions or something ridiculous like that.

What’s your preference: Autograph or photo?
Josh Donaldson’s autograph. This past weekend I got a chance to get an autograph from Oakland A’s third baseman Josh Donaldson. Due to the amount of people lining up, there was no time for photos. A quick chat and a signed item was all I could get. I did shake his hand though. It took […]
Farewell to Grant Hill: the greatest “what if” in NBA history
Is there a bigger “what if” in NBA history? Grant Hill has to be that now that he has officially called it quits. I remember watching him growing up as a kid. I even had a poster of him on my wall. He was smooth, he was quick. He was a great player to watch. […]

Thoughts on getting tattoos of sports teams
That one’s not temporary, huh? RT @Galemachine: just got it done today pic.twitter.com/MgKG07batU — Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) March 10, 2013 I am not big on tattoos. I don’t have any and I don’t see myself getting any. So when it comes to tattoos of sports teams logos or images, I don’t get it. But I […]

Power Rankings: A sign of feeble minds trying to make sense of nothing
Useless. Ever since I got into sports journalism, one thing that has always bothered me was “Power Rankings” in sports. In fact, I tried to understand its purpose and have come to conclusion that it’s one of the most useless things ever. Unless it’s college football, where rankings actually matter, power rankings serve no purpose. […]

Why are we so infatuated with NFL player uniform fines?
Know your uniform rules. Click to enlarge. I’m a uniform buff. I get it. Uniforms tickle my fancy and I love reading up on it. But when it comes to fines, I actually have little to no interest on it. After all, I feel that all fines are justified in every sense. So how come […]
The JaMarcus Russell comeback has to be a joke
If you haven’t heard, JaMarcus Russell wants to play in the NFL again despite having not thrown a pass since 2009. His weight, lack of motivation and off-field issues made him a perfect fit for the dysfunctional Raiders. But to be a successful football team, he was not a good fit. I don’t know if […]
One story that can’t be ignored in the Super Bowl hype: The Alex Smith factor
Colin Kaepernick’s success came in part by Alex Smith’s willingness to mentor him. Yes, I criticized Alex Smith for costing himself the starting job due to the concussion. But it was what happened afterward that made me appreciate his attitude towards the whole thing. Instead of being bitter about not being the star quarterback of the […]
