Jim Armstrong First off, congratulations to the San Francisco Giants, who just captured their 3rd world series in five seasons (for those living under a rock), beating the Kansas City Royals 3-2 in Game 7. I’ll readily admit that I am not the most ardent baseball fan, but any sports fan can appreciate the tense […]

Since the 49ers were on a bye this past week, I debated taking a one-week hiatus myself. Then I remembered that the 49ers basically played like they were on a bye in last week’s game against the Broncos, and since I still wrote a post after that debacle I suppose it’s only fair that I […]
Why I’m Psyched for the NBA Season – Wide Open West
October 28, 2014 By Leave a Comment
The NBA snuck up on me. I have chatted with many of my buddies during the last couple of weeks and they all echo the same sentiments. I’m excited for the season if nothing else because this marks the beginning of an incredible six months in sports. The NFL and NBA overlap for 3+ months, […]

October 22, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Rory Goulding You probably don’t know this, but Peyton Manning is a very good quarterback. I wasn’t sure of it either until he made my favorite team look like a bunch of 8th graders last Sunday night. STATS! Through his first 38 games in Denver, Manning’s thrown 111 touchdown passes. If that number doesn’t impress […]

October 22, 2014 By 2 Comments
In no other sport do first time head coaches enter the league with absolutely zero overall coaching experience. Why the NBA cherishes the name over X’s and O’s. In what professional sport can a player retire, and within a few months be considered, and ultimately selected, as the head coach? If you guessed the NBA, […]

Wow, seven weeks in! The season is flying by! It feels like just yesterday the NFL was pretending to care about domestic abuse and women’s safety.

Quite an enjoyable Week 6 in the NFL, if you ask me. Not only did the Seahawks lose (and at home), but the Giants got blanked in Philadelphia and the 49ers held on to win a squeaker Monday Night. This was a good weekend. Cue Ice Cube. 10. The faces of Chip Kelly. When I was first […]
