AA Bye Bye

Well, no room for sentimentality. Arik Armstead declined a salary restructure, so the 49ers unceremoniously released him today. Color me fine with this. He’s been a solid enough guy, but never really lived up to the high expectations as a … Continue reading

Coaching Additions – Seattle Style

Well, I guess since ol’ Pete used to sign everyone off of our FA wire, we are doing the same with their coaches. The Nijers recently signed KJ Wright, a stalwart member of the Legion of Boom, to be their … Continue reading

Super Bowl!!! The Quest for Six!!!

The prognosticators have prognosticated, the talking heads have talked, the nattering nabobs have nattered. All that is left is the 14 hour pre-game show, and the actual game. Strange that Vegas has us as the favorites (-2) when everyone under … Continue reading
