The Santa Rosa Press Democrat just posted Grant's article on poor Kyle Williams. Many people have been unkind to Williams. They say he lost the game with that fumble in overtime which set up the New York Giants' game-winning field goal. Williams did not lose the game. The 49ers lost [...]
Grant, Cohn the Younger, just posted his grades from Sunday's Niners' loss to the New York Giants in the NFC championship game. I find Grant's grades fair and well-reasoned and I want to share them with you. Some of you will find them controversial, perhaps even low. I don't. I [...]
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat just posted Grant's Sunday article. It is an unusual article. He wrote about the art gallery head coach Jim Harbaugh has created in a hallway outside the team's meeting rooms. Niners public relations director Bob Lange generously invited Grant and me to view the gallery [...]
I am linking to a Grant article and this one I really enjoy doing. Bill Pinella, our editor at the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, asked Grant, this morning, to write a fan's guide to the NFC championship game coming up on Sunday. Grant leaped into the project in a way [...]
Ever hear of Tony Montana? Ever hear of Al Pacino? Ever hear of Scarface? If you did, you are on the right track. You can be an honorary member of the San Francisco 49ers special teams because, get down, they rock out with Tony Montana at the start of every [...]
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat just posted Grant's Thursday article on Grampa. In this case, Grampa is Donte Whitner of the Niners. He's a young guy but he has incredible wisdom and gravitas, and some of the sportswriters refer to him as Grampa as a mark of respect. It just [...]
I'm about to hit the sack early tonight -- it's been a long football season -- but before I shut out the light, I want to link one more Grant post. This one is about how he believes the New York Giants will defend against the Niners, or at least [...]
I am linking to Grant's blog. I didn't write anything myself today -- it was a combo of not having anything new to say just yet and wanting a day off before the start of Niners-Giants Week, aka NFC championship week. Grant had the audacity to compare Alex Smith and [...]
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat just posted Grant's Friday article about Michael Crabtree. This may be the best Crabtree article ever composed in the wide world of journalism. Among other things, Grant asks if Crabtree is crabby, and if he's more crab or tree. Grant also chronicles Crabtree's evolution from [...]
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat just published Grant's Thursday article about the 49ers and their amazing season. In this piece, Grant examines the rookies and says what they have brought to the mix and when each had his breakout moment. I like this piece and learned from it. You probably [...]
