They all want to bring him down a few pegs. One thing people forgot…Harbaugh is hated by other coaches..that’s good for having the 49ers nosed rubbed in it.

However, I just read on Yahoo sports that the 9ers are now the odds on favorites WIN the super bowl at 4-1 at MGM in Vegas. Green Bay is second at 9-2. So the elevator is going up on the Niners in Vegas Lowell, no question that it is hard to say that any team is bound for the super bowl.

It means their record is likely to soften a little bit, but it does not mean the team itself is doing anything but going up. Also I'm not sure it's "hard to say they are bound for the super bowl" - almost every analyst (Maicco included) - has said it with relative ease.

Who cares about the Raiders? They should move back to L.A. Warriors? Zzzz... NBA is a fixed game of thugs. I feel sorry for the A's, they should move too, perhaps to Sacramento. ;;; I think teams should be more afraid of the Niners than the other way around. Who cares about the Raiders?

Wilson has made some really bad trades this year, the Sharks are a slow team and speed is very important, we only have 5 guys that can score and rely too much on them, also Marleau got to go, he has the heart of a worm, also the goal tending was not great this year. Niemi is just a average goalie.

The A's have been stripped of solid talent and have a bunch of nice guys who are enthusiastic and underdeveloped. Wolfe is satisfied to take them don and hope for glory in a new location. The Giants have spurts of being good and then they revert to marginality. I agree, Sabean is not a good GM and lives off the miracle of two years ago. Now the El Gordo is in trouble the team will barely play .500 ball. The Warriors are dismal, have been for years, and will be. The owners and the coach talk a good game but the players on the court don't perform well. It's difficult, being a sports fan in Santa Rosa these days.

The NFL gifted them last year's schedule and Harbaugh caught the league by surprise. Add the 13-3..and there's no place but down this year on paper. Opening the season AT Green Bay is far worse then last year opening vs The Seahawks. Well,maybe sideways if they go 10-6 and playoffs. The A's..trending down to Hades. When you openly admit you wont pay what stars are worth..your worthless as a ownership. Raiders up..no more beauty parlor visits from the Head Coach,no more fistfights like during the Cable era...and No more wildly over paid players as for the last decade. Just a big "?" as how good is Allen. Nobody knows. The Warriors? will never be as good as the owners proclaims..but to draw the fans only ask then to be competitive...trending sloooowly up. Giants ..up up and away..IF Lincecum eats...they could.... go.... all...the.....waaaayyy! The 49ers..down. The NFL gifted them last year’s schedule and Harbaugh caught the league by surprise.
