Eagles, Rams not among Cowboys Top 5 toughest opponents in 2026 – Mike Crum, Cowboys Wire Which games should Dallas already have circled? No. 4: Week 10 vs San Francisco 49ers This is just about the opponent. The San Francisco 49ers are the Cowboys’ boogie man. Kyle Shanahan has owned Dallas, and until they show […]
Could 49ers’ Week 1 be one of the better prime-time games of the year?“With the game in Australia and it being the first week, something tells me it might be a bit of a mixed bag. Will it be good? Probably. The No. 3 prime-time game of the year? I doubt it. I’m expecting a […]
The San Francisco 49ers start their season on prime-time playing the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia. This marks the first time in NFL history that there is a game in Australia. The Australians are getting a fun one, too, as Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay usually deliver a fun contest more often than a […]
The San Francisco Giants closed out their three-game series with the Don’t-Call-Us-Sacramento A’s on Sunday and winning the series was a breeze. A stiff wind blew in from left field at Sutter Health Park, but that didn’t stop Luis Arraez and Harrison Bader from hitting home runs out to right, the last one for a […]
The Athletics and Giants battled in the rubber-game of their three-game set on a windy Sunday afternoon in Sacramento. While the wind helped both teams score runs, the weather did not play that much of a factor in this game’s result. Rather it was the A’s bullpen and defensive collapse in the eighth inning, when […]
It’s series finale time, as the San Francisco Giants take on the Oakland/Sacramento/Vegas Athletics for the third game of the series. I’m writing this before the first game, so here’s hoping that the Giants are going for a sweep, or at least a series win today. But who knows! You, probably. If the scheduled starters […]
After splitting the first two games of the series, the Athletics and San Francisco Giants will square off this afternoon in the rubber game of this rivalry weekend showdown. Athletics’ starting pitcher Luis Severino struggled yesterday. The Giants jumped out to a 5-0 lead before holding off the A’s late comeback attempt. As a result, […]
The San Jose Sharks are officially in the offseason and that means there’s some business to take care of. The front office has a large group of unrestricted and restricted free agents to decide on over the next month or two, with the ultimate goal of building a team that can win a Stanley Cup. It’s pretty clear that this season, the Sharks took a major step forward in the team’s efforts towards that goal, so now, it’s about figuring out how to build on that. Some of it will include bringi...
The San Francisco Giants had gone three games without a hit with a runner in scoring position. The offense just couldn’t string together anything of substance. They had become reliant on an inside-the-park-homer or solo shot from Luis Arraez, which is like relying on lightning strikes to be your home’s main provider of electricity. Unsurprisingly, […]
Keep an eye on the Toronto Maple Leafs over the course of the next few weeks. Newly minted general manager John Chayka has been busy meeting with members of the organization to get a pulse check on the culture of the team, which evidently led to head coach Craig Berube getting fired, and now Chayka turns his attention to his captain, Auston Matthews. Chayka and Matthews will meet in Arizona over the course of the next two weeks and if they're not able to get on the same page about the vision o...
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close today, which means it’s time to pick our favorite highlights of the week! For once, I can say we were blessed with an abundance of options this week. But after Thursday night’s game, really, was there any option other than […]
How the NFL came up with a plan to keep 49ers from becoming jet-lagged zombies in 2026 (paywall)“It’s a lot of air miles,” North said. “We fully recognize that. Coach (Shanahan) wasn’t shy about his concerns. We spoke with John Lynch. We spoke with Al Guido. We were well aware of where they were hoping […]
The A’s couldn’t make it two in a row over their former Bay Area rivals. The Green & Gold dropped the middle game of their weekend series against San Francisco Giants on Saturday evening in Sacramento, with their comeback attempt coming up short in a 6-4 loss that drops their record to 23-22. Can still […]
It’s time for game two of the series between the San Francisco Giants and their former neighbors, the one-named Athletics. At the time of me writing this, a few days in advance, the scheduled matchup is right-handers Trevor McDonald and Luis Severino. McDonald has made two starts on the season, and is 1-0 with a […]
Our series with the Giants continues this evening with the A’s coming off a series-opening win last night. Can they make it two in a row against their former Bay Area rivals and continue padding their AL West lead? Before we get to the game we had a small transaction this morning. The club has […]
Terry Stotts last coached the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2020-21 season. After being dismissed from the position, he took a couple years off from the NBA before returning as an assistant coach with Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors. As recent reports have indicated, he’ll move on from that post this summer. What’s […]
What will new DC Raheem Morris bring to the 49ers’ defense?“The Niners’ fifth coordinator in as many years, Morris has been something of a chameleon coordinator, having experience leading defenses of multiple philosophies, fronts and coverages. His words and history suggest he prefers to tailor his scheme to his players rather than trying to fit […]
The Sacramento Athletics, looking for a little added depth for their middle infield, have swung a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, acquiring Alika Williams in return for a minor league pitching prospect. A's acquire minor league infielder Alika Williams from Pirates for minor league right-handed pitcher Kyle Robinson. Williams was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas today and infielder Michael Stefanic was designated for assignment to clear space on 26- and 40-man roster. — LVSportsBiz.co...
While the San Francisco 49ers get the short end of the stick with travel miles, gauntlets, and other NFL scheduling wizardry, there is one silver lining to take: the Thursday Night Football games. The 49ers only have one. Well, for now. Now they do have two Thursday games. The 49ers begin their 2026 season in […]
Long gone are the resilience of the Giants extra innings win against Pittsburgh, the heights of Borucki, the hip-thrusting pleasures of LA. Oh, how a three-game winning streak makes fools of us all, and how a three-game losing streak lays bare. A three-game losing streak…or a three-run homer. It was the cantankerous and eyebrow-y manager […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close this weekend, which means it’s time to pick our Player of the Week! Or, I guess in this week’s case, our Players of the Week. Because I’m giving the honors to two people this week, with a caveat that I […]
The Athletics and Giants opened their three-game series on a beautiful Friday night in front of a strong crowd at Sutter Health Park. The A’s prevailed 5-2 thanks to another solid start from starting pitcher Aaron Civale, first baseman Nick Kurtz’s latest game-changing blast and a makeshift bullpen that bent but did not break. A’s […]
The San Francisco Giants head to Sacramento tonight to begin a three-game series against the Athletics. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.18 ERA, 5.03 FIP, with 42 strikeouts to 20 walks in 41.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 7-6 […]
Tonight, the Athletics look to get back to winning ways as they kick-off a three-game series against their regional rival, the San Francisco Giants, in West Sacramento. While this rivalry matchup does not feel the same in the wake of the A’s departing Oakland to eventually relocate to Las Vegas, Sutter Health Park should be […]
The San Francisco 49ers hit an insanely rough patch of defensive line injuries in 2025. Mykel Williams flashed during his first season, especially in the first two weeks of the season when the line was healthy with Nick Bosa and Bryce Huff cleaning up on third down. Mykel’s ability on the outside and as a […]
