The San Francisco Giants didn’t wait for us to catch our breaths from the signing of quasi-closer Jason Foley as just moments ago Jeff Passan broke that they’ve also signed starting pitcher Adrian Houser to a 2-year, $22 million deal with an option for a third year.

Well, he reportedly has agreed to terms on a two year, […]

The San Francisco 49ers offense was rolling on Sunday.

When it rains in Chicago, it pours. With not much to celebrate day to day for the Chicago Bulls, the one thing we’ve always had was Michael Jordan and his legendary run in the Windy City.

Let me read you the charges facing the Baby-Faced Assassin. On December 12, in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Curry ...
By now, we know who the San Francisco 49ers are. This team will go as far as its offense can take it. It won’t be easy if Ricky Pearsall misses time, but the scheme is superb, and the execution on that side of the ball has been outstanding of late. The same cannot be said […]

The San Francisco 49ers had a nice 37-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, improving to 10-4 with three weeks left in the season.

You remember Wilks for his one-year stint as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator during the 2023–2024 season—the same year they went to the Super Bowl. The 49ers dismissed Wilks following the Super […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have had an interesting week. They lost to the New Orleans Pelicans in dramatic fashion.
