    The 2024 San Francisco 49ers

    Arik Armstead released; didn't want to rework his contract. I believe he would have been north of $25MM this coming year, which is a boatload for a guy that is nearly a lock to miss 5-7 games.

    Is It Over Now? Chiefs/Niners SB Thread

    Armstead for sure. Before the Packers game he was out for a few weeks with various nagging injuries; reportedly the most painful of which was plantar fasciitis. He's had that flare up on him off and on for a while now. Bosa seems to be fine, but definitely getting double teamed/chipped every...

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    While Purdy was not his usual self, he made a few absolutely nails throws in that game - most importantly on the final drive. I expect a more Purdy-like performance against the Lions on Sunday. Beyond the injury to Deebo the biggest concern I have is the defense. In a couple of respects: (1)...

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    I haven't seen anyone make the claim they are the best in the last couple of decades. Better than any of the niner teams since 2010 or so? Absolutely.

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    I think they will. I've watched nearly every 49er game for nearly a decade now and this is the best of all those teams, including the 2019 team. I loved that team, but you always knew Jimmy G was going to Jimmy G.. be it an ill timed interception, inability to elude pass rush or tossing hospital...

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    They definitely looked better in the second half. The defense looked soft in the first half; left a lot of 5-7 yard screens and tosses open - the secondary was playing back. I think Kittle's production is going to take a big hit this year - he spent a lot of time helping pass protect and run...

    2023 San Francisco 49ers.

    McKivitz is not good. Neither was McGlinchey, especially in pass protection where he seemed to be tossed into the air routinely by pass rushers. The niners seem to place comparatively little value on the right side of the offensive line.

    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    Clemens was rough. This one stings too. And, I was a Youkilis guy (just always liked him) .. pretty sure I was in tears when he legged out that last hit (ending up on third base) and got lifted for a pinch runner.

    For those with DirecTV, this will be the first year the game will be shot and broadcast on their 4K sports channel as well.

    Cora in line for major suspension?

    Yes. Absolutely, yes. There are many fields that are under constant scrutiny; where people in positions of trust are held to a standard of avoiding even a hint of wrongdoing or impropriety (my own profession included). Is a baseball manager in such a category? Maybe, maybe not - but in my view a...

    Golf at Eastward Ho!

    $600 (And, if anyone on here is in the Chicago area or will be this summer, I can offer a similar auction item for my home club. It's no Eastward Ho!, but she's a grand old course).

    2018 Golf Thread

    I'm not sure, tbh. Never played any of the Vegas area courses and this is being handled as a bundle so I wrote one check for hotel, golf, transportation from hotel to/from courses, etc. We are staying at the Mirage, for what that's worth. Not sure if that's a MGM property or not.

    2018 Golf Thread

    I leave Sunday for a golf getaway to Las Vegas. Three teams of 4 from each of a handful of Chicago area golf clubs make the trip each season to compete; my first time taking part. Three rounds of golf, one each at: Cascata, Shadow Creek and Southern Highlands. Nice capper to the golf season...

    They don't allow electronics of any kind beyond the parking lot - including GPS watches and range finders. So no course pics. When I go back on the 26th I'll take some pics of the clubhouse from the parking lot (about the best I'll be able to get away with without being banished).

    Got to play Chicago Golf Club yesterday; oldest 18-hole course in the U.S. Very cool, understated, clubhouse with lots of golf history on display. The course was fantastic; it wasn't overly punitive but I still didn't play well. Very fast (and unique) greens. The best part is that it was a scout...
