Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
Hey everyone! We at Athletics Nation are in the process of adding another member or two to our writing team and it could be you! The team has gone through a rough time of it in recent years but the light feels like it’s at the end of the tunnel. The A’s are slowly doing […]
We’ve seen Jauan Jennings throw a touchdown pass before. It was in the Super Bowl for Christian McCaffrey. Unfortunately, the San Francisco 49ers lost that game. But that doesn’t mean if something works, you shouldn’t do it again: This play is from the 49ers’ 23-19 win over the Philadelphia Eagles — a play that will […]
The Thunder are frauds! That’s what r/nba and the talking heads are having you believe, and it’s not hard to see why following a 6-6 stretch. Still, the OKC discourse has swung too far in the opposite direction. Remember, they were only one of two teams (along with the 73-win Warriors) to ever start a […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Since the season ended, the McCovey Chronicles staff have been doing player reviews that go over each member of the San Francisco Giants’ 2025 season. Today, I’m going to continue our community reviews where we ask you all to weigh in on how you feel like each player did this year […]
The Seattle Seahawks have had their bye week (with a couple of practices mixed in), and now it’s time to prepare for Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round showdown with the San Francisco 49ers. It’s not often that a team plays the same opponent twice in a row, but that’ll be the case for the Seahawks, whose […]
The Houston Texans released Darrell Taylor on Monday morning. Taylor, a pass rusher, was placed on the Injured Reserve in Week 9 after suffering an ankle injury. He was limited to four games and only 31 snaps this season. Taylor was activated from the Injured Reserve last week, but his release a week later might […]
Somehow, some way, the San Francisco 49ers are moving on to the divisional round of the NFC playoffs. Despite key mistakes, another devastating injury, and the second-half incompetence of the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense, the 49ers held on for a 23-19 victory to survive and advance and take on the Seattle Seahawks next week. There were […]

Eric Kendricks hasn’t even been on the 49ers roster for two months, but he has already secured a place in franchise folklore with his telling contribution to one of the most memorable playoff wins of the Kyle Shanahan era on Sunday. Kendricks, starting alongside Garret Wallow at linebacker as the 49ers deal with an astonishing […]
The Dougie Hamilton drama with the New Jersey Devils is now at a boiling point. He was a healthy scratch on Sunday and we heard that his agent admitted the player might be willing to waive his no-trade for some of the teams not on his 10-team trade list. The latest intel emerging on this Monday morning is that there are three teams now considered "serious suitors" with three other teams in the mix as well, per James Murphy in rg.org. The Sharks, Maple Leafs, and Mammoth have all emerged ...
The Atlanta Hawks notched a second consecutive victory on their four-game Western Conference road-trip, toppling the Golden State Warriors 124-111 at Chase Center on Sunday night. Nickeil Alexander-Walker led six Hawks in double-digit scoring — and three Hawks with 20 or more points — with 24 points, Jalen Johnson added 23 points and 11 rebounds, […]
Welcome to Monday A’s fans! The season continues to inch closer and closer. Pitchers and catchers will be reporting to camp in roughly one month, followed soon after by the position players getting back together for the start of the year. The first Spring Training game is just 40 days away, and the regular season […]
One of the most gut-wrenching moments of the San Francisco 49ers’ 23-19 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Wild Card round was the loss of George Kittle. Many of you who watched the video closely already knew Kittle ruptured his Achilles tendon. Turns out the 49ers’ training staff knew it as well and […]
In Today’s Links: three teams from the NFC West yet remain and the match-ups for next weekend are set. All we need now are the dates and times. Our Seattle Seahawks will face-off one more time against the San Francisco 49ers and I believe them to be salivating. Injured again last night, the 49ers will […]
Kawakami: Inside the 49ers’ ‘Bang’ play that shook the Eagles (paywall)“I’m just thinking get the ball, execute, tuck the ball away, make the defense think I’m running it,” Jennings said. “And I saw Christian get open.” McCaffrey slow-rolled past the line of scrimmage, then burst past Eagles safety Reed Blankenship, who was caught in the […]
The Hawks and Warriors linked up in San Francisco with Atlanta looking to pick up their third straight win. Without Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher, the Hawks rolled with Vit Krejci and Onyeka Okongwu in the starting lineup. Jalen Johnson was cooking early and often. Here he dined on the cookies served up by Okongwu: […]
And the new … Super Bowl champions will not be the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles were Super Bowl champions. The San Francisco 49ers ended the Eagles’ hopes of repeating on Sunday with masterclass coaching by Kyle Shanahan in a 23-19 victory over the Eagles in the Wild Card round silencing the stunned denizens at Lincoln […]
A.J. Brown finished the Eagles Wild Card game against the 49ers with three catches on seven targets for 25 total yards, and it was the misses that had the biggest impact. Earlier in the season when the wide receiver voiced his displeasure with a lack of a passing game, he was emphatic that it wasn’t […]
The Seattle Seahawks got to enjoy another stress-free weekend in the Wild Card round after locking up the No. 1 seed in the NFC by handling the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18. Guess what? They’ll get back to action against those same 49ers in the Divisional Round! Seattle and San Francisco face off for […]
The San Francisco 49ers pulled off the improbable, beating the Philadelphia Eagles on the road 23-19 despite being six-point underdogs and losing star tight end George Kittle early in the game. It was a game filled with mistakes on both sides, but the 49ers managed to keep it to a three-point game at the half […]
The San Francisco 49ers targeted George Kittle on a six-yard pass with just over six minutes remaining in the second quarter. After Kittle was tackled, he immediately grabbed the back of his right ankle. It was a non-contact injury, which is genuinely the worst-case scenario. Unsurprisingly, Kittle is not expected to return to the game. […]
The Philadelphia Eagles are no longer in the hunt to repeat as Super Bowl Champions after losing to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round, 23-19. As has been the case for most of the season, the Eagles offense had an uneven performance and did next to nothing in the second half, and […]
The Seattle Seahawks will be having an NFC West rubber match in the Divisional Round. With the Los Angeles Rams winning and the Green Bay Packers losing on Saturday, the Seahawks knew that they would be facing either the Rams or the San Francisco 49ers pending the latter’s result against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite losing […]
The San Francisco 49ers have struggled to find explosive plays this season. Brock Purdy found Demarcus Robinson, who beat Quinyon Mitchell of all people, for a 61-yard catch and run. Two plays later, Purdy lofted a pass into the hands of Christian McCaffrey for an 11-yard gain. The drive ended how it began, with a […]
