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...

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)

“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.

WatchStanford’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.”

Sean and Joey Discuss the NBA on Christmas
Joey: Baron Davis is going to be a great Knick if today is any indication.
Sean: He is the one point guard Kevin Garnett can't bully.
Joey: He already is the best leader on that team and he isn't even in uniform.
Sean: The real Knicks "uniform" is a sweater vest and fake reading glasses.
* * *
Sean: Lob City vs. Slob City! Chauncey Billups vs. Raunchy Ellis!
Sean: I'm glad I bet $500 that Andris Biedrins would score first.
Joey: Andris is really taking it to DeAndre Jordan.
Joey: It's a grudge game.
* * *
Sean: My dad was so excited they called traveling in the first five minutes. I think it made his whole Christmas.
Joey: You should tell him he missed a palming call in the OKC game. It'll probably make his New Year.
* * *
Joey: David Lee's "fancy passing" is killing me here.
Sean: You really can't throw those kinds of passes to Biedrins.
Sean: Ideally, you make eye contact five seconds earlier and then hand it off.
