Well, the pendulum has swung back to how shitty Trey Lance is. This of course was the premise 2 months ago. What happened between now and then? Nothing. No real practices, no camps, no preseason games. But the ‘wow, Lance worked out with Mahomes and looked great’ as spun back 180 and the turd has turned.
Just the usual clickbait bullshit. Adam Schefter says that Lance will be the 3rd string coach. Based on, well, nothing. He’s shocked there’s no trade value for a guy who hasn’t played much due to injuries. And why would the Niners trade him when they went through 3 QBs in ONE GAME last year? Yeah, it was the NFCCG, but we had lost Trey Lance AND Jimmy G before that game even happened. Of course the New York Post has to run with the most salacious of them all and proclaim:

So here we are again, spinning in the toilet.
I have been sick of most media for quite awhile now it’s all about money making sensationalist bullshit. Especially the fucking sports media. I still like the Athletic for the most part but my guess is that even they get paid by the word. Anyway fuck em Lance could very well start the season for us.
The way our QBs go down season by season, it’s a guarantee. 4 wasn’t enough last year.
I half expected to see Freddie Solomon behind center.
What does the Atlantic cost? I’m paying $0.99 for the Chron online.
The Athletic is strickly sports. Visit their website and maybe you will find a deal this year I paid $30. They usually want $60. But I think I recently saw a yearly for $19.99 fir first time subscribers.
The Chron at least calls out Schefter for his utter nonsensical praise of Darnold and the trashing of Lance in the face of nothing other than pure conjecture.
And he still doesn’t fucking get that the reason they GOT Darnold was because QBs Jimmy G, Lance, Purdy, and Johnson all got hurt last season.
Also, SFGate is free. The local guys are OK.

To me the Athletic is worth the 30 bucks a year. Send out articles everyday and are usually pretty in-depth. A few of the guys get pretty tedious at time especially Kawakami but maybe that is just me. They have a lady(can’t think of her name right now) that everyonce in awhile goes over pretty much every Giants minor league team and does a really good job of it. I like reading Barrows stuff for the most part because he is in real close to the Niners. Anyway, they are not near as bad as much of the sports networks and radio dudes.
I guess I will have to find my old avitar
Is this picture that you are using of Pyramid Lake?
Yes, I used to go there quite a bit when I lived in Reno. To me it’s just a beautiful place.
That pyramid shaped rock is quite recognizable.
Always wanted to go there.
It’s a pretty cool place but there are no stores or anything near by at least there wasn’t 40 years ago. It’s on a Indian reservation but anyone can go there, Can’t remember what tribe but maybe Modoc. It’s a glacial lake and much of the sand is tiny little shells. It’s pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. off of 395.
Sounds great for camping.
I looked it up it’s on the Paiute reservation.
Not sure if camping is allowed at least where I went. I used to go out there for the day.
They increased their camping, boating and fishing fees by a sizeable amount recently. IIRC, they doubled.
Damn. I also want to go out to Alabama hills in the eastern Sierras. That’s all BLM 2-week limit camping. No permit required.
Chi from the Flap goes there. Lots of 4 wheeling.
Yeah, I just love the Sierras in the summer.
Took my old land cruiser all over the Montana forest trails last summer. Loved it.
If you go there again, stop at the Copper Top BBQ in Big Pine.
This post was in response to the Alabama Hills.
Sounds good.
New thread is up.
