Well, the NFL is doing what it can to make itself look like a league that isn’t blackballing Colin Kaepernick.

The NFL issued some new rules for this upcoming season. Overtime periods are now only 10 minutes, which I am indifferent about. There is now one less roster cutdown period, which I am also indifferent about. But this news is the big one. Using the as a prop.Group celebrations… Details on the changes coming to […]

Why did I enjoy this? The Pro Bowl and the entire week leading up to it has been boring for years. But this year the NFL brought back a passing drill (good), a drone football drop (sure) and dodgeball (YES!). I have been a huge dodgeball fan since my childhood. I love the sport. I […]

YESSSSS. Pro Bowl all now include Dodgeball, relay races & precision passing challenge. Finally. https://t.co/Uc0hC7W7P7 — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 12, 2016 This is weird. Pro Bowl week will now feature dodgeball and relay races. They will also have a passing accuracy challenge and a QB/WR drill portion. But dodgeball and relay races? Like gym […]

I was only 10 when the 1996 season rolled around. The 49ers adopted this completely new uniform design for the season. They changed the facemask from gray to red, introduced a new logo with a darker red, implemented a dropshadow number font, brought in white pants and a moved the TV numbers to the shoulders. […]

When the San Francisco 49ers hired Jim Harbaugh, they had it easy. The team immediately saw success and didn’t have to entertain the idea of wondering whether or not the hire was a good one. It was a great hire. The 49ers were contenders for the Super Bowl in the first three seasons of Harbaugh’s […]

49ers are expected to keep Baalke, dump Tomsula https://t.co/DbUpJI7el8 — ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) January 3, 2016 I had met and talked with Jim Tomsula several years ago while he was still the defensive lines coach. He was a good man. He knew his craft. His players respected him. When the 49ers tabbed him as head coach, […]

Pack and Pats at Super Bowl 50? That’s what I see. Here are my predictions for the 2015 NFL season. Of course, like all other predictions out there, it’s just my guess and you can argue with it as much as you want. I could be right or I could be very wrong. Here it […]

I remember taking these photos. How suddenly different the 49ers are now. pic.twitter.com/YHMk0f1rVd — Samuel Lam (@SamuelYLam) August 7, 2015 I remember seeing Aldon Smith for the first time. It was at his introductory press conference and he was meeting the Bay Area media for the first time. Some people didn’t think that Smith was the […]

Via the 49ers’ Instagram.Over the weekend, the 49ers have been going to Levi’s Stadium for practices and one of the newest additions to the stadium are the black end zones. This comes after the 49ers revealed in the spring that they are adding an all-black uniform set. This is clearly a marketing ploy and in order […]

I work in the media and I know the frustrations of when athletes don’t answer questions well and it makes my job harder. However, I never complain to the athlete that I don’t like how they answered me. I know it’s an obligation to meet with the media but I can’t force or control how […]
