Romans Schmomans
It is always confusing when a sportswriter refers to a Super Bowl by number alone, expecting everyone to intuitively remember that the NFL championship game from February 2008 is Super Bowl XLII. You know, just take the current year, mentally subtract 1966, convert to Roman numerals, and there you have it. Completely intuitive. Bill Simmons is easily the worst offender in this regard, though you...

Solomon Kahn, R.I.P. →
You may not realize you knew Solomon Kahn, but if you attended a Golden State Warriors game in the past decade, you heard his music. As DJ Solomon, Kahn was the Warriors in-house DJ for over a decade, including the team’s 2007 playoff run. The insane atmosphere inside Oracle Arena for those games was a testament to the passion of the fans - but DJ Solomon was a big factor as well. He also...

Sadly, the 49ers Are Not Going to the Super Bowl  →
I recap the 49er heartbreaker via storified tweets at the East Bay Express blog. Any typos or inaccuracies don’t count because my forward progress has already been stopped.

Sean Keane Comedy: We Are the 49%: Why the 49ers... →
seankeane: MIC CHECK! Sports fandom and political activism are not mutually exclusive, but it’s understandable that activists in the Occupy moment have not been following the NFL season closely this fall. Who should they support today? I think the general consensus should be the San Francisco 49ers. In the…

More Sean Keane sports content in (slightly classier) blog form, in the East Bay’s second-finest free periodical (behind the Squelch; apologies to the Berkeley Daily Planet). seankeane: My NFL rules guide appeared on the East Bay Express blog today. This could be the beginning of a beautiful alt-weekly friendship.

Orlando Cabrera Retires
Great career, but as a Giants fan, I only wish he’d retired back in June. He was the exact kind of Omar Vizquel type that Brian Sabean had gambled on in the past, only he was even older, and sometimes batted fifth. Fifth! To be fair, we never got to see how he did singing Goo Goo Dolls songs. Meanwhile, the player traded for Cabrera, Thomas Neal, remains a 24-year-old semi-prospect. Neal...

Rules for the New San Francisco Football Fan
Here is a rules primer for the new fan watching their first football game in a while this weekend. This is tailored to the San Francisco fan specifically, but bandwagon fans everywhere can learn from it. (via seankeane) The 49ers are set to play the New Orleans Saints tomorrow in their first playoff game since 2003. Many San Franciscans haven’t cared much for football in the interim, since the...

“I didn’t say it wasn’t going to be me. Can’t give you guys all...”
– Interim coach Tom Bradley discussing Penn State’s coaching vacancy. Hey Tom, maybe you’d have a chance at the permanent job if you stopped discussing “Penn State football” and “secrets.” Just kidding, he has no chance at the permanent job.

Stanford’s kicker shanks a field goal against Oklahoma State Oregon. His Fiesta Bowl attempt was only marginally better. (EDIT: Make that “attempts”) According to the announcers, he was “highly recruited.”

Week 17 Question
What’s more uncatchable: David Akers’ field goal record, or the Raiders’ 161 (and counting!) penalties in one season?
