Hall of Fame 49ers and Stanford Coach Bill Walsh Dies at 75

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 01:29:14 PDT

Bill Walsh was a Bay Area native (born in Fremont), graduate of San Jose State University, and spent much of his life giving a name to the Bay Area when there wasn't much here to be known for other than computer chips. He died from leukemia today at the age of 75.

Superbowl XLI Thread: Colts vs. the Bears

Mon, 22 Jan 2007 11:02:57 PST

I'm not much of a football fan these days, but the storylines of the Conference Championship games this year was intriguing enough that I listed to the games on radio. I really wanted to see New Orleans make it to the big game. There appeared to be a gutsy comeback in the works for a bit, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I wanted to see Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy finally get there too. I got one of my wishes.
So it's Da Bears vs. The Colts....more

Thanksgiving NFL Games

Ok, you football fanatics. I'm sure someone here knows the answer to this. Thanksgiving's coming up and it reminded me that I've always wondered about how they determine what teams play on Thanksgiving... and how did the tradition get started?

Greatest WR of All Time, Jerry Rice, Retires as a Niner!

Fri, 25 Aug 2006 06:45:59 PDT

Cool! Jerry Rice makes one last score for the 49er's (albeit a symbolic one). He signed a contract to return to the 49er's and promptly retired from football so he could go out with the team he had his glory years in. I haven't followed much football in recent years and hockey's my big sport to follow now, but I'm really glad to see a local icon come back and fix up his legacy. Jerry Rice just never looked right in any other uniform than a 49er uniform.
