The Morning Roast opens with pure electricity — the San Francisco 49ers dominated the Los Angeles Rams 27-7 in the first ever NFL regular season game in Australia, and it wasn’t close.

Shanahan delivered a Mozart performance in the run game — Kalon Black ran the ball better than anyone in Niner un...

After an underwhelming debut with the Los Angeles Rams, Myles Garrett is making his intentions clear as the team prepares to face the New York Giants.
It’s safe to say Week 1 didn’t go according to plan for the Los Angeles Rams . The supposed juggernauts faced an impromptu defeat and their star pass rusher Myles Garrett had a very lackluster game. Hence, he is making his intentions clear as the Week 2 game vs. the New York Giants approaches.
Garrett was dealing with a knee injury ahead ...

It was fair to expect regression from Matthew Stafford’s MVP season heights. It’s rare to see a quarterback play at such a high level into his late 30’s—and even more rare for them to accomplish such a feat for the first time a decade and a half into their career. No one saw a total […]

The power of a well and oft-told narrative is not to be diminished, but it also should not be feared if countervailing information comes to light. And so it is that the San Francisco 49ers, irradiated scoundrels though they may be and summer vacation wastrels they absolutely proved to be , came up with the one enduring rebuttal to all the amused schadenfreude that has been aimed their way.
Specifically, they answered it with a comprehensive kicking of that arse.
The 49ers put that indis...

The 49ers' decision to travel to Australia early proved to be the right move, as their one-sided victory over the Rams fully vindicated the decision.
