San Francisco Giants Search for a New General Manager

Posted: 20th May 2010 by Brian Winett in MLB
Brian Sabean has done some good things and he's done some bad things, but one thing is for sure: He's always done controversial things. Come on, the guy's first move was to ship off legendary Matt Williams in a trade that (luckily) brought in Jeff Kent! Recently, he shipped off Fred Lewis (who is now tearing up the American League) and received nothing in return. In Andrew Benning's recent article ...

For the San Jose Sharks, Stage Set for Biggest Choke Ever

Posted: 6th May 2010 by Brian Winett in NHL
Everyone in Sharks Nation wants to believe their team has this round sewn up. The players are saying the right things about the fourth game being the hardest game to win, but is this all just stage-setting for the biggest production of Sharks playoff choking in their brief history? With a 3-0 lead in the series going into tonight's game, one must remember that if anyone can pull off a ...

Perfect Storm Continues in Round 2 For 49ers

Posted: 23rd April 2010 by Brian Winett in NFL
The 49ers filled another need with the Best Player Available at the 49th pick. Taylor Mays is a solid second round pick and adds a second big hitter to the starting safety duo anchored by Goldson. Taylor Mays athleticism will add much needed speed to the 49ers secondary and his sheer athleticism will be on display as he learns the finer points of the game. Furthermore, the 49ers have answered their division rival ...

Nabokov Stellar in 5-0 Shutout Victory

Posted: 23rd April 2010 by Brian Winett in NHL
The kids from Colorado skated off the ice last night like teenage boys having their hearts broken for the first time. With a fatherly arm around them, the Sharks can say "Cheer up there son.  Your time will come.  We know exactly how you're feeling and it's not easy." There're plenty of other fish in the sea. Just don't mess with the Sharks! San Jose showed the kind of dominance they did in Game ...
Okay. Now that I have settled down about the trade and coined a phrase that may never be used again in "Premature eDraftulation," when referring to the impatience of trading up to get Anthony Davis...I give the 49ers an A-. It would have been an A+ if they had kept their fourth round pick, but I have to give them the benefit of the doubt that they knew something ...

San Jose Sharks Take Back Home Ice Advantage

Posted: 21st April 2010 by Brian Winett in NHL

In a must win game, the San Jose Sharks showed their mettle once again by putting the Avalanche away midway through the first overtime session. In what is turning out to be a highly competitive series, the San Jose Sharks have regained the home ice advantage they earned throughout the regular season.  With two ...

San Jose Sharks Show Dominance In OT Loss

Posted: 19th April 2010 by Brian Winett in NHL
Sometimes you just have to laugh one off.  After dominating the last 50 minutes of play, another fluke goal sent the Sharks to the locker room with another playoff loss... a loss they can hold their heads high with. Remember the old saying when we were kids, it's not whether you win or lose but it's how you play the game? The Sharks played with the passion and heart that has been ...

San Jose Sharks Pave the Road to the Playoffs

Posted: 7th April 2010 by Brian Winett in NHL
San Jose took a major step towards playoff success last night with a gutsy, defensive, playoff-like victory in Alberta. By eliminating the Flames when they had the chance, the Sharks eliminated a chance to meet them in the first round of the playoffs, and will now likely meet the Kings, the Red Wings, or the Avalanche. Two of the possible playoff matchups for the Sharks are young hungry teams entering the playoffs ...
I hear a lot of talk about how the 49ers are now the front-runners to win the NFC West.  What I don't see is anybody doing any f-ing thing about it. Let's be honest, the Niners have gotten no established players in the offseason who were outside of their roster ending the 2009 season. Not one. In order to be Super Bowl contenders, we need to win the West by bringing in some ...
