“Can you just let me have this?” We were fifteen minutes from the California border, and the trees in Oregon were getting taller and taller. Having flown into Medford, we were now two hours into the drive to Cresent City and seven hours into a journey that had started at 5am, and the anticipation had […]
One of the key moments in the film “Moneyball” comes when Brad Pitt’s Billy Beane and Brent Jennings’ Ron Washington visit Chris Pratt’s Scott Hatteberg to inform him they’re offering him a contract to play first base for the Oakland Athletics, even though he’s only played catcher in his big-league career so far. Beane insists […]
The San Francisco 49ers had one of the deepest draft classes in the NFL last offseason, taking 11 players in the 2025 NFL Draft, as they looked to get younger and add depth at key positions. Defense was the name of the game early, as the 49ers took defensive players with their first five picks […]
The Royals announced they have acquired 27-year-old right-hander Mitch Spence from the Athletics in exchange for right-handed pitcher A.J. Causey. Spence pitched in 32 games last year for the A’s, eight starts, with a 5.10 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 84.2 innings. He was designated for assignment earlier this week. Spence was originally a 10th-round […]
It was an eventful season for the San Francisco 49ers’ tight ends. George Kittle looked well on his way to another All-Pro year after four catches, a couple of first downs, and a touchdown against the eventual Super Bowl champions in the opening quarter of the season. We would not see Kittle again until Week […]
The youth movement continues. Following in the footsteps of yesterdays impressive performance from Slovakia’s Juraj Slafkovsky, it was the youngest player on the vaunted team Canada who put the favorites on the board first. With just five seconds remaining in the first period against Czechia, the budding superstar from San Jose Sharks Macklin Celebrini potted […]
When you read that the San Francisco 49ers can create over $43 million in cap space with simple restructures, which is just turning salaries or roster bonuses into signing bonuses that can stretch over the lifetime of a player’s current contract, you’re probably thinking the team is in business and will be able to have […]
The San Francisco 49ers need to upgrade at wide receiver this offseason. An easy argument could be made that multiple upgrades are necessary. We’ll end up talking through potential draft picks, but with free agency around the corner, let’s start with some pending unrestricted free agents. One free agent the 49ers must decide on is […]
As we get deeper into the offseason and talk about the San Francisco 49ers’ team needs, we’d be remiss if we ignored the draft picks that didn’t work out. Even in hindsight, there’s no shame in moving multiple first-round picks for a quarterback you identified to be franchise worthy. It didn’t pan out, but the […]
The San Antonio Spurs maintained their winning ways on a night both De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama dominated offensively and defensively (in the latter portion, at least). Fox led all players with 27 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals while Wembanyama had 26 points and 9 rebounds. Heading into the mid-season break, the Silver and […]
Good morning baseball fans! As we approach Spring Training and the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general! Today’s question: What is going to be the 2026 Giants’ biggest weakness? Yes, I know Spring Training has only […]
Report: 49ers confirmed to host Mexico City game in 2026“According to ESPN’s John Sutcliffe, the 49ers will serve as the designated home team for a regular-season game at Estadio Banorte—formerly known as Estadio Azteca—during the 2026 NFL season.

For a half, it looked like the San Antonio Spurs might limp into the All-Star break. Instead, they stormed into it. Behind a ferocious second-half turnaround and another poised performance from their young stars, the Spurs erased a 16-point 3rd quarter deficit and powered past the Golden State Warriors 126-113 on Wednesday night at Chase […]
The Golden State Warriors came out hot to take advantage of a San Antonio Spurs team on the second night of a back-to-back. They were red-hot from three and jumped out to a 38-31 lead in the first quarter. The Spurs fought back by getting to the basket and crushing the Warriors in the paint […]
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 news from yesterday was Wembanyama’s historic 40 point effort against […]
The buzz out of Spring Training camp today came from the news that Bryce Eldridge will get some work out in left field. The Giants’ San Francisco Chronicle beat writer Shayna Rubin has the full breadth of the story summed up in this social media post: Well, that’s a sweet capper to the story and […]
The San Francisco 49ers made one of the best quarterback signings in free agency last offseason when they inked Mac Jones to a two-year, $8.4 million deal to back up Brock Purdy. Of course, at the time, the 49ers were just looking for an upgrade and stability at the position after having Joshua Dobbs and […]

And still our Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List marches on, as we grow oh so close to finishing our communal rankings of the top 44 prospects in the Giants organization. Only one […]
The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are set to become the first two teams in NFL history to play in Australia. The first reaction when that news came out was when the game would take place, considering how difficult it would be to schedule around the 14.5-hour flight. There is still no official date or […]
Teams will drive themselves crazy attempting to replicate the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl run. All you need is an elite defense and special teams unit paired with an offense that boasts one of the best wide receivers in the game. Good luck with that. The San Francisco 49ers won 12 games in the regular season, […]
The Chargers are not in dire need of more wide receivers for Justin Herbert, but the chance to add a bonafide playmaker might be too much to pass up for new offensive Mike McDaniel and his vision for the 2026 offense. In a new piece from CBS Sports’ Jordan Dajani, the analyst wrote up 10 […]
Pitchers and catchers have reported and it’s finally beginning to feel like baseball season. The A’s checked off most of their offseason wish-list, trading for a starting-caliber second baseman (Jeff McNeil), signing a veteran starting pitcher (Aaron Civale just yesterday), and a couple low-end middle relievers (Mark Leiter Jr. and Scott Barlow). Better than all […]
The San Francisco 49ers bringing Deebo Samuel back a year after he requested a trade would feel like a “vibes” move. The San Francisco 49ers bringing in Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs this offseason would feel like a move to address some of the issues the offense had in 2025. The 49ers need […]
Make no mistake about it, Monday’s blowout loss in Portland was an unfortunate ending to Philadelphia’s five-game West Coast trip that started off with convincing wins against the Clippers and Warriors. A few days prior to the loss on Monday was a loss in Los Angeles against the Lakers which happened to coincide with an […]
During the weekend of the Super Bowl, there were clips of former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel hanging out with Trent Williams. Earlier in the week, when he was being interviewed, Christian McCaffrey said, “Deebo’s one of my favorite guys I’ve ever played with. We all love Deebo. Our whole staff loves Deebo. […]
