Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
As the title suggests, I could simply copy and paste what I have written in these write-ups from previous weeks. For the third consecutive week, quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four or more touchdowns in a game, a first in NFL history. This past Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, the MVP of the 2009 Capital […]
There is no doubt that when it comes to the Los Angeles Rams, the benchmark for fans is always, “be better than the 49ers.” When it comes to rivalries in the NFL, Rams-49ers is certainly right near the top with Cowboys-Eagles, Browns-Steelers, and Packers-Bears. These are two teams that have played 154 times and reached […]
The San Francisco 49ers are sitting at 6-4 heading into Week 11, as they prepare to take on the Arizona Cardinals on the road in a big game. The 49ers are coming off an ugly 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, where they took themselves out of it early by allowing three consecutive touchdown […]
The San Francisco 49ers are currently trending to start quarterback Brock Purdy for the first time since Week 4 this weekend when they face the Arizona Cardinals on the road. Purdy, who has been limited in practice for the last few weeks as he’s ramped up following a toe injury, has now had one ‘aggressive’ […]
The young and the restless: The young Spurs and a restless-always-moving-around-moving-screens Steph Curry is a story as old as the days of our lives. This entertaining game almost exorcised all the demons on a Marlena Evans-level of the Spurs taking that torch from the Warriors. Maybe next time. Regardless, our favorite team did not lack […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We have an argument for the ages today. Ever since Madison Bumgarner entered Game 7 of the 2014 World Series in relief for the San Francisco Giants, managers everywhere have been attempting to copy that strategy, to varying levels of success. We saw it again in this year’s World Series Game […]
The Spurs loss last night was a heart-breaker. They started strong against a road weary Warriors coming into the Frost Bank Center on the second night of a back to back. In the end, Stephen Curry did what he does. A 22-point third quarter gave the Warriors the lead, and eventually they had enough distance […]
1913 The White Sox and New York Giants began their round-the-world tour, promoting baseball across the globe. The two teams would eventually sail home from England on the Lusitania after playing over 40 contests. 1951 The White Sox sent swingman Randy Gumpert and left fielder Don Lenhardt to Boston for pitcher Chuck Stobbs and second […]
Kyle Shanahan previews 49ers-Cardinals Week 11 matchup“”Not on Thursdays. We have to by a certain time. I think we’re allowed 15, so I think we always stop then. A lot of times on Thursdays we’ll get two periods in and take them off the second two. Most of the time, it depends on who I […]
The Spurs wanted to extend their win streak to four as they hosted the Warriors on the first of two consecutive games. Unfortunately, Stephen Curry had other plans. The veteran superstar was impossible to guard for San Antonio for most of the game, and with his 44 points, led his team to a 123-120 victory […]
After holding the Golden State Warriors to 14 points in the first quarter, the San Antonio Spurs experienced a classic offensive explosion, leading to a 125-120 loss. It’s the first home loss of the season for the Spurs, and snaps a three-game winning streak. The Warriors shot a whopping 57 three-pointers, knocking down 21 of […]
49ers News Purdy Targets Cardinals Return After Six-Week Absence San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy will practice aggressively on Wednesday as the 49ers prepare him to start Sunday against Arizona. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy’s workload will increase significantly this week. The quarterback has been a limited participant in recent practices but hasn’t appeared in […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs made a statement on Monday night, and the statement […]
Former MLB manager Joe Maddon went on KNBR and said he considered the San Francisco Giants hiring Tony Vitello to be “insulting.” Current broadcaster Duane Kuiper said he found Maddon’s insulting comments, well, insulting. Joe Maddon won the World Series with the Chicago Cubs in 2016 and reached the 2008 series with the Tampa Bay […]
It’s that time again: free agency. Where you dream about what the San Francisco Giants might do, and then they almost surely do something else entirely. For a few years now I’ve had an annual article that I write at the beginning of free agency, and you’ve stumbled across this year’s iteration. The goal is […]
The San Francisco 49ers will have Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall practicing in some capacity on Wednesday. Those two, along with Alfred Collins (hip) and Dee Winters (knees) will be limited during Wednesday’s session. Shanahan said this will be an aggressive practice for Purdy, despite his status on the injury report: “We just got to […]
Donnie Ecker, who was part of the Texas Rangers’ coaching staff from 2022 until about six weeks into the 2025 season, is reportedly being brought on board by new Baltimore Orioles manager Carlos Albernaz to be the new bench coach for the A’s. Ecker was hired away from the San Francisco Giants, where he had […]
Tonight, the NBA odds are lighting up with a pair of must-watch Western Conference matchups that are crucial for both the playoff hunt and betting slips. The action starts with a marquee Lakers vs Thunder showdown as the streaking Lakers, with Luka Doncic putting on an absolute clinic, visit the powerhouse Oklahoma City Thunder and SGA. This one promises MVP-level drama and a ton of points. Later, we get a fascinating David vs. Goliath-type battle, height-wise, with Stephen Curry and ...
The San Francisco 49ers were rather quiet in free agency this offseason, letting several veterans walk, while not signing any player to a deal worth more than $5.25 million per year. Instead, the goal was to rely on and develop the team’s younger talent as they cleaned the books in what seemed like a ‘bridge’ […]
Many fans have been wondering when the San Francisco 49ers will see what they have in rookie third-round pick Nick Martin. After all, this is a defense that has struggled mightily since Fred Warner dislocated his ankle a month ago. For much of the season, Martin was a healthy scratch. Martin’s season debut came in […]
The Athletics Nation Season In Review series continues this morning with a pitcher that made just four relief appearances for the A’s. Though maybe they should have kept him around longer after he switched teams midseason. He really seemed to run away with his chance at starting, something that the A’s could have used more […]
Today is nomination day! After voting in today’s CPL, head to the comment section to nominate a new batch of prospects for Friday’s CPL. The 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List keeps chugging along, as we seek to rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. And the latest chapter brings […]
The Arizona Cardinals won’t have their top wide receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr., in Week 11. The second-year pro had surgery for appendicitis, which will keep him out of a home game against the San Francisco 49ers this week. Harrison Jr. is second on the Cardinals in targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns, behind tight end Trey […]
The 49ers’ decision not to make a swing for a pass rusher on trade deadline day last week raised some eyebrows, with San Francisco unwilling to pay a premium to boost a defensive line clearly in desperate need of help. Last Sunday’s 42-26 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams served as an illustration of why, […]
Not all of the wins for the San Jose Sharks this season are going to be pretty, and the 2-1 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild last night certainly counts as one of the ugly ones. The Wild absolutely dominated the Sharks for most of the game and it was only by sheer luck and strong goaltending by Yaroslav Askarov that the Sharks were capable of competing in the last 10 minutes of the third period. Looking at Natural Stat Trick’s game flow chart in all situations, you can see that the Wild...
