The @49ers decide their best head coaching option was already in the building (via @RapSheet): http://t.co/cRlLzbxWf4 pic.twitter.com/Qt6IgqIPkK — NFL (@nfl) January 14, 2015 I remember when I met Jim Tomsula for the first time. I had seen him on the sidelines and did stories on him, but it wasn’t until an impromptu meeting with the […]

Samuel Lam’s 2014 Best and Worst Dressed in sports: NFL edition
The Titans refused to wear their light blue jerseys all season long. And they also didn’t wear their light blue pants either. Today is the final day of 2014 and after much deliberation, I’ve decided to do my annual uniform in review post. I was close to not doing this again this year because I […]
My first ever game at Levi’s Stadium
My first time at Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers won the game 20-17. Since I live in LA, I rarely have time to come up to the Bay Area. Even though I was there for the construction of Levi’s Stadium, I had never actually step foot inside the building. Yesterday I finally did that to catch […]
Jim Harbaugh’s final farewell after a wild four-year run
We saw this coming. Now it has come. I’m not going to blame or point fingers as to why the 49ers failed this season and all this unraveled. There is blame to be put on both the front office and Harbaugh himself. I don’t even know how much influence the players had in the season-long […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 16 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 16 games from Sunday. 1– Earlier in the year I wondered about the Seahawks and if they were going to get on track. They didn’t look great then and a lot of it can be traced to their injuries on defense. But those guys are healthy and the […]
CSN producer thinks Johnny Manziel can’t succeed because of his name
CSN Philly producer Sean Kane believes your name determines your success as a QB in the NFL. Guys like Manziel and Clausen set themselves up for failure by not going by John and Jim, respectively. Time to grow up, its the NFL. — Sean Kane (@SKaneCSN) December 18, 2014 @SKaneCSN Agreed. Johnny Unitas ruined his […]
What does Ray McDonald’s release say about the 49ers?
Earlier this year I wrote that Ray McDonald’s legal troubles and the 49ers’ insistence to let the legal process sort it out would define the reputation of Jed York and the team. And in the end, the 49ers came out on top. Of course, the rumblings of whether or not the officer helping McDonald had […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 15 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 15 games from Sunday. The 49ers couldn’t keep the Seahawks down. 1– The 49ers are officially done. It isn’t a surprise really seeing how this team has struggled in the past month. Even though the defense played well for most of the game, it was the offense that […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 14 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 14 games from Sunday. The Raiders gave the 49ers fits all day. 1– The 49ers are done. Even though they are still in the hunt to make the playoffs, nothing from their recent performance suggests they’ll pull it off. Sunday’s loss to Oakland showed that their pass rush […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 13 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 13 games from Sunday. Super Bowl preview? I believe so. 1– The Packers-Patriots matchup was everything I wanted to see. It was a close game, both quarterbacks played well enough to keep their team in the game. I think what makes the Packers that much more dangerous than […]
SMH at that Vikings family that isn’t really a Vikings family at all
No. Deadspin had a piece about this and I thought I was the only one who felt the same way. You can’t claim to be a Vikings family when members of the family abandon the Vikings. OK, so your son marries an Eagles fan. That’s fine. But just because you live in Cincinnati, doesn’t mean that […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 12 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 12 games from Sunday. Oh my, Odell Beckham. That was amazing. @OBJ3 @SNFonNBC pic.twitter.com/jkO2qRzlMP — NBC Sports (@NBCSports) November 24, 2014 1– I will start off with the Sunday night game. That catch was amazing. I was a fan of Beckham in college and I knew he had […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 11 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 11 games from Sunday. 1– Even though the 49ers won thanks to Eli Manning and his five interceptions, the 49ers don’t look strong. Last week a few things had to go right just for them to win. This week, they couldn’t find much separation from the Giants in […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 10 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 10 games from Sunday. 1– This game was a doozy. The 49ers got back to running the ball and they looked good doing it. Then their defense started to pressure and pick off Drew Brees. However, the Saints got right back into things and with Jimmy Graham’s […]
Good luck to Marcus Lattimore
RB Marcus Lattimore has informed the #49ers he intends to retire. READ: http://t.co/2yOHa2HcxX pic.twitter.com/ja2BSdeFfA — San Francisco 49ers (@49ers) November 5, 2014 In 2010, I was interning at Bleacher Report. My job was to send out newsletters to various subscribers of certain teams. I had a lot of responsibilities for SEC college football teams and […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 9 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 9 games from Sunday. 1– The ending to the 49ers-Rams game can be summed up in two words: bad playcalling. The problem with that final drive for the 49ers was their inability to stick with the running game. Of course, the entire offense looked terrible and […]
Who needs ugly NFL sweaters when you have ugly NFL cardigans?
Attention @ChicagoBears Fans! ***New** #Bears ugly cardigans! Available at http://t.co/XcpSiMUAI0 pic.twitter.com/Ri2hMYgjv8 — UglyTeams (@UglyTeams) October 28, 2014 The game done changed. Oh man, this is ugly. I love it! Check out the tweet. I think the 49ers one is calling for me. The sweaters were great. But this is a whole new level. It’s $119 […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 8 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 8 games from Sunday. 1– So the Jets are bad. I mean, Geno Smith threw three picks in the first quarter. Backup Mike Vick also contributed to three turnovers. This was not good. I don’t know what kind of identity the Jets team has, but they are looking […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 7 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 7 games from Sunday. 1– Peyton Manning is good. He is real good. Breaking that record looked easy for him. It’s a sign of how good this Broncos team can be if they have it all clicking. On the other hand, the 49ers looked bad. But I don’t […]
So what exactly is Colin Kaepernick being fined for?
View this post on Instagram The face you make when the NFL says you didn’t use a racial slur and still fines you $5500? *shrugs* back to my grind! #IDontGetTired #WhoDoYouLove #Se7enPounds A post shared by colin kaepernick (@kaepernick7) on Oct 15, 2014 at 1:40pm PDT The face you make when the NFL says you […]
NFL’s deal with Bose is giving Beats By Dre free publicity
With the NFL sealing a deal with Bose this year, it makes sense for the two companies to try to get their deal out in the forefront. In doing so, the NFL is fining any player that is seen with headphones that aren’t Bose during interviews with cameras present. In fact, the fine can be up […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 6 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 6 games from Sunday. Cold Cuts! 1– Ties are terrible. No game in any sport should ever end in a tie. But with the physicality of the NFL, we know that anything more than 15 minutes after regulation is too much. Thus we get a tie from the […]
Is Katy Perry the best choice for the Super Bowl halftime show?
Yesterday, Page Six reported that Katy Perry is going to be the halftime show for the Super Bowl. I totally get the league’s attempt to get more contemporary artists to reach out to this generation. With Beyonce and Bruno Mars headlining the last two big games, it makes sense. But I am not a Perry […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 5 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 5 games from Sunday. 1– That is what Jim Harbaugh thinks of your rumors. It was reported that 49ers won’t retain Harbaugh after this season, even the 49ers win the Super Bowl. Of course, there was a lot of discussion as to what that really means and if […]
